Which Way Did He Go?

Uhh… think you might want to get that cut checked out Diego!  BJ Penn cemented his place in the Lightweight Division of the UFC.  He will be the man until someone else with the chops brings him down or he decides to do the stupid thing and go back up to Welterweight to face GSP again.  Dana White is talking about this like it will probably happen.  I guess he has a point.  There’s only so many lightweights that we will want to see BJ beat the crap out of.  His biggest test was Sherk and he made him quit.  We also saw Frank Mir put his opponent down.  Will we see a rematch of him and Lesnar?  You bet we will.  We will just have to wait until Brock heals up though.  Here are your results:
