The former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion announced his intentions to return earlier in the year, but was put on hold when a string of sexual assault allegations surfaced.

Thursday, the UFC released a formal statement on the matter, which noted that no actions, civil or criminal, have been taken against Penn involving the allegations, but reserved the right to act based should new information come to light.

"Following a review of the matter by Campbell & Williams, a Las Vegas-based law firm hired by UFC to evaluate the situation, UFC has been informed that no criminal or civil charges have been filed against Penn to date, nor has any action been taken by local law enforcement. It should be noted that UFC reserves the right to reevaluate the matter should new information be made available," the UFC statement read.

Has Frankie Edgar released a statement yet regarding BJ's soul? Frankie stole it and I think BJ might need it back if he's gonna have any chance at beating Siver.

Bj won't contend for the title so what are we looking to do here by having him fight?
This is a very real question that needs answering.
Frankie will burn him worse than over toasted bread
Aldo would tear through him
Mendes would destroy him
Conor would knock him into the year 3000.
Ricardo lamas would unleash the fury on him

I mean, what are we doing here? He is one of the best of his time but hang em up son, hang em up........

The good old Crack team of investigators in the UFC on the job again to make sure they incur no liability but not that there might not have actually been a conduct violation.

Totally agree with you, I believe this might have been an exercise to suppress evidence and clear said subject......
