“Get Help Man” – BJ Penn’s Alleged “Mental Decline” Leaves Fans Concerned After UFC Legend’s Outburst on Jake Paul

BJ Penn’s legacy as a UFC icon has always been about fighting. Considered to be one of the best lightweights to ever step into the Octagon, Penn holds the record for the most consecutive title defenses of the 155 lbs. belt with 3 to his name. His company in this elite club? None other than champions like Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Islam Makhachev, and legends like Benson Henderson and Frankie Edgar.

But lately, it appears as though the Hawaiian’s battles seem to have shifted from the Octagon to social media, leaving the fans puzzled—and concerned. In a bizarre post shared recently on Instagram, Penn took aim at Jake Paul, the social media star turned boxer.  Penn began his post by addressing a “photo shoot” that seemed to set him off and stated, “I’m not here to blast the actor for this Jake Paul photo shoot or whatever they call this stuff but I always wondered why the actor who was supposed to be my friend did certain things and help the wrong people who tried to hurt me…”

But Penn wasn’t done. He turned his attention to Nate Diaz and further wrote, “Jake, Paul and his bs team didn’t fulfill your contract in your fight. Take those m— to court and make those m— fight. You and MMA and rip his f— head off…” The cryptic nature of his comments left fans scratching their heads, with some even questioning the coherence of his thoughts and showing concern for the UFC legend’s mental health. Here’s a look at what the fandom had to say.

BJ Penn causes an uproar amongst the fans with “alarming” social media post about Jake Paul

The post by BJ Penn contained images of a man he claims to have been portraying Jake Paul as he stated, “I actually love this brother who is the Jake Paul actor in here…”. But the fans have been left with nothing but confusion at the bizarre allegations about the social media star using an “actor” for his photoshoots.

“Can’t defend you on this one bro. This makes zero sense”

Some fans tried to clarify the situation for Penn as they pointed out that the video in question features Paul wearing a “fat suit”. ‘The Problem Child’ had caused a frenzy in the combat sports world as he recently shared a video of himself with a bulging belly ahead of his upcoming clash against Mike Tyson. The clip went viral as Paul lifted weights which were also reported to be “fake”, but could Penn have fallen victim to the prank?

“He was literally wearing a fat suit”

BJ Penn also delved into conspiracy theories, questioning the integrity of social media platforms in subsequent posts on his Instagram account. He seemed to believe that the platform was removing his posts and manipulating his content, leaving many fans wondering whether the UFC legend might be struggling with more than just a social media glitch.

“This post is extremely confusing… and alarming… you OK bro ?!?!”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Penn’s social media activity has sparked concern. Over the past few months, the fans seem to have noticed a decline in his posts’ coherence and focus. As such, some believe it’s a sign of a deeper issue and pointed it out in their comments.

“So sad when you see the OGs suffering mental decline.”

As Penn continues to fire off online, his once unshakable image as a UFC legend seems to be fading with the fans indicating they’re unwilling to continue their support for his social media presence due to the concerning posts being shared.

“I almost wanna unfollow out of respect for the legend.”

In conclusion, once known for his sharp focus and relentless fighting spirit, BJ Penn now appears to be fighting a different kind of battle. Fans who once celebrated his dominance in the Octagon are now left puzzled, even concerned, by his cryptic and often confusing posts on social media. As his online rants continue, many are calling for the former champion to step away from the virtual spotlight and seek help. While Penn’s accomplishments as one of the greatest lightweights of all time are undeniable, his recent behavior risks overshadowing his legacy.
