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:

Are You Even Listening? I'm tellin' you it was THIS big!

UFC104 came in with a mighty roar but kind of ended with a whimper.  A LOT of folks are unhappy that Shogun lost on points to Machida but that’s the breaks when you leave your fight results to the judges!  UFC104 was a pay per view event but, like UFC103, SPIKE TV aired a couple of the undercard bouts.  This is an excellent way to get more viewers to the UFC bandwagon and it also helps those of us that are tired of shoveling out $40 a pop for pay per view.  Of course, gas, a pint of suds and some nachos at the local sports bar won’t set you back $40 so that may be the way to go for us cheap skates!  Here are your UFC 104 results:
