Over the past few months, UFC legend BJ Penn has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Back in August, in Miami. Just a month prior to that, outside an establishment. Dana White also came out and banned Penn from any further fights until he gets his act together.
Now, things have reportedly gone from bad to worse for Penn. According to TMZ, Penn was driving in Hawaii recently when his truck flipped multiple times on the highway. Penn was brought to the hospital where he was quickly released. In the aftermath the accident, Penn is being investigated for driving under the influence. This investigation was prompted after a tip was sent ton 911 saying Penn was speeding.
