After winning five-straight fights, BJ Penn is considering returning to the 17-pound welterweight division if he successfully defends his lightweight title against Frankie Edgar at this Saturday’s UFC 112 event in Abu Dhabi.

“If everything goes well (at UFC 112), I’d definitely consider moving up to 170. Not that it’s 100-percent guaranteed, but I’m thinking about it. If I do move, I’m going to move slow. I’m not going to try to rush anything. I’d think about it as testing the waters, something like Anderson Silva is doing (at light heavyweight).”
