Reagan Penn Wins 1st Career Fight

Former UFC Champion BJ Penn's brother Reagan (30 years-old) won via rear-naked choke in round one of his first career fight on Sunday night against Paul Gardiner (now 3-1). In a Pro Elite card that saw the likes of fellow Hawaiian and training partner Kendall Grove and Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski also pick up wins; fans truly got to witness how talented BJ's little bro is, winning in BJ Penn fashion with a rear-naked choke. Though it wasn't a crazy impressive win, it's a start to what looks to be a pretty decent but short MMA career, as he is recording his first career fight at 30 years of age. BJ and Reagan have always trained together but, Reagan stuck behind the scenes as BJ's career blossomed. Despite that, Reagan is said to be the most talented out of the Penn brothers; pumped to see what's next for him.
