UFC legend B.J. Penn is pleading for help online from the UFC and its CEO Dana White.
Penn has hit a brick wall in his life following a slew of arrests of the last few months.
Penn has said that he believes that his family was murdered and replaces by imposters that want to take over his assets. He has also been ordered to vacate his home that he once shared with his mother.
He is due in court in August after violating a restraining order and is planning on representing himself.
Penn took to social media to plead for help
“POWER ISN’T HOW MUCH YOU CAN HURT SOMEONE POWER IS HOW MUCH YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE! I didn’t start this fight. This is an army of theives and they are here to steal everything I worked for,” Penn wrote on Instagram.
“If I ever made anyone money like the @UFC @UFCGYMS @rvca @pmtenore or did anything kind or helpful for anyone that has the power to make a difference I would appreciate your help with this robbery that is taking place in Hilo, Hawaii! They are trying to make attempts on my life and they are trying to provoke me to attack some of them but If I take the bait and I touch one of them, I will go to jail and lose everything,” Penn continued.
“This message is for Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. I need your guy’s help,” Penn said in the video post. “I’ve been pushed out. This is the house I grew up in. Lived here my whole life. Fought in the UFC. Became a world champion and all of that stuff,” Penn said.
Penn’s mother, Lorraine Shin, believes her son is suffering from a condition called Capgras delusional syndrome.
Shin released a statement: “I believe my son [B.J. Penn] is suffering from Capgras delusional syndrome (a psychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusion that a friend, spouse, parent, other close family member has been replaced by an identical imposter). He believes I’m an imposter who has killed his family to gain control of the family assets,”
