His
accomplishments
in
the
World
Jiu-Jitsu
Championship
caught
the
attention
of
the
Ultimate
Fighting
Championship,
Which
convinced
him
to
switch
to
MMA.
Penn
made
his
mixed
martial
arts
debut
with
the
company
on
May
24,
2001
with
a

Gilbert
UFC

and

Uno
before

loss
in

championship
fight
against
the UFC
Lightweight
Champion
Jens
Pulver.
In
2003,
after
Pulver
left
the
UFC
and
relinquished
his
title,
a
tournament
to
crown
a
new
champion
flopped
when
Penn
fought
Uno
to
a
draw
in
the
finals
at
UFC
41,
a
failure
Which
caused
the
UFC
to
later
suspend
its
lightweight
division.
Penn
bounced
back
later
in
the
year
with
a
victory
over
Takanori
Gomi,
future
Pride
Fighting
Championship
Lightweight
Champion,
in
Rumble
on
the
Rock,
an
MMA
organization
promoted
by
Penn's
brother.
Penn
received
his
first
MMA
championship
in
2004 at
UFC
46th
Penn
jumped
up
in
weight
classes
to
challenge
the
five-time
defending
UFC
Welterweight
Champion
Matt
Hughes
to
fill
a

contention
slot
in
a
division
where
Hughes
had
already
defeated
all
the
available
opposition.
