Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by MMAFighting's Chuck Mindenhall.

With B.J. Penn announcing another return to the cage, Breen and Mindenhall discuss how poorly Penn's comeback has been received thus far and how bizarre it is that Nik Lentz of all fighters coaxed “The Prodigy” out of retirement. The pair reflect on the historical significance and pathos associated with Penn's third fight with Frankie Edgar, how a hypothetical Lentz fight might unfold, whether Jackson-Wink MMA could rouse one last great performance out of the Hawaiian, and why that might not even be a good thing.

Breen and Mindenhall also rap on Nik Lentz's talents as a poet, Mindenhall's role in Lentz's Penn-related poetry getting published and their all-time favorite Penn and Lentz moments.

Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.”
