HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A judge in Hilo agreed to extend a protective order against retired UFC champ BJ Penn until May of next year.
Penn’s 79-year-old mother filed for the order 3 months ago after he allegedly assaulted her outside of her home.

Under the terms of the order, the 46-year-old cannot contact his mother, nor can he come within 100-yards of her home.
