Joe Rogan explains what B.J. Penn did to become a legend
In his heyday, B.J. Penn was a truly special fighter, with the fifth-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt mesmerising fans with his remarkable skills inside the cage.
With talent coursing through his veins, Penn was already cementing his status as a legend, but when the warrior added something extra to his game, he excelled into global superstardom.
During an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the voice of the UFC explained: “B.J. Penn was so f—— talented. But during that period when he was the GOAT, what happened was, he got with Marv Marinovich, and he started training insane cardio.
“Marinovich had him training cardio more than anything else. It was plyometrics, ‘You already know how to fight, the problem is endurance, let’s give you the most insane gas tank, and then you go out there with so much confidence, because you never have to worry about taking your foot off the gas’.
“He always won, but that’s when he became BJ Penn the motherf—–.”
