BJ Penn teases comeback; calls out Nik Lentz

Former UFC champion BJ Penn basically announced his retirement following his last outing, a TKO loss to Frankie Edgar at The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale in July 2014. Well, it seems like the Hawaiian is looking to make a comeback and he has a name on his mind.
