November 26, 2011 by ABS-CBN · Comments Off
Balls (Skycable Channel 34), the home of the UFC in the Philippines, proudly brings “BJ Penn: The Prodigy in Manila.” Fans will get the opportunity to see the 2-time UFC champion in an open training and public appearance on November 30 (Wednesday) 4:00pm at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall.
The 32-year-old Penn holds the rare accomplishment of winning two titles in two different weight divisions in the UFC. Penn is also the only man in UFC history to face seven different UFC Champions.
At the very young age of of 17, Penn tried his hand in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Three years later, Penn earned his black belt in the martial art. In 2000, Penn became the first non-Brazilian to top the black belt category in the World Jiu-Jitsu Championships. Penn’s early exploits and success in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu earned him the nickname “The Prodigy” and Penn was well on his way to a promising career in the sport of professional mixed martial arts (MMA).
He made his professional debut with the UFC in May 2001 at “UFC 31: Locked and Loaded” against Joey Gilbert whom he defeated via a technical knock-out in just under 5 minutes.
His performance against the legendary welterweight champion Matt Hughes at “UFC 46: Supernatural” cemented Penn’s superstar status. It took Penn just 4 minutes and 30 seconds to submit Hughes via a rear naked choke, thus securing the UFC welterweight title.
On January 2008 in “UFC 80: Rapid Fire,” Penn defeated Joe “Daddy” Stevenson to finally earn the UFC lightweight belt that had eluded him twice prior. He then successfully defended his title three times.
He also successfully topped an epic trilogy against Matt Hughes in “UFC 123: Rampage vs. Machida” in 2010. Penn scored a knockout victory over Hughes in just 21 seconds of the very first round to claim the trilogy between the two legends, 2-1.

CIA Arrests Update: Iran Arrests 12 Undercover CIA Agents accusing them of spying on their alleged nuclear plans.
The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) that 12 spies, their nationalities unknown, that are working for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have been arrested by the Iran Government.
(CIA Arrests: 12 spies arrested in Iran)
The reason for the arrest according to Parviz Sorouri, an influential lawmaker, was that the CIA agents were spying on Iran’s military, its nuclear programme and that they were operating in co-ordination with Israel’s Mossad and other regional agencies.
“The U.S. and Zionist regime’s espionage apparatuses were trying to damage Iran both from inside and outside with a heavy blow, using regional intelligence services,” Sorouri was quoted via an interview last Wednesday.
“The US and Zionist regime’s espionage apparatuses were trying to use regional intelligence services, both inside and outside Iran, in order to deal a strong blow to our country,” he added.
The United States and its allies suspect Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon program, a charge Tehran denies.
In May, Iran said it had arrested 30 people after breaking up a spy network run by the CIA.
It said the network had operated out of American diplomatic missions in the Malaysia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates to recruit Iranians as spies.
The news follows closely behind reports on Monday that Lebanon’s Hezbollah had uncovered several alleged CIA informants. Afterwards, reports started to come in from US officials which backed up the claims, suggesting that the lives of several agents in the region are in danger.
Sorouri did not specify the nationality of the alleged CIA agents arrested in the country, nor did he comment on when or where the arrests were made.
