UFC Fight Night™: Maynard vs Diaz


The Maynard-Diaz main-event for the UFC Fight Night™ Live on 01/11/2010 may not be a high-profile one but it is a very important fight under the lightweight division as to know who could have the bragging rights to have a possible match-up for lightweight champion BJ "Prodigy" Penn. As we all know, just recently, Penn demolished Diego Sanchez on their UFC 107 championship match. In addition, The Prodigy had already defeated three more top contenders in Joe Stevenson, Sean Sherk and Kenny Florian.

Gray Maynard’s nickname “The Bully” is a picture perfect way to describe his fighting style. With strength that would make Hercules jealous, Maynard bullies his opponents around the cage with his powerful wrestling base and overwhelming ground control.

Recently, the All-American wrestler has tightened up his boxing ability along with his submission defense, making “The Bully” even more difficult to deal with than before.

If there’s one thing that can be learned from this sport, it's that there is never a sure-thing for any fight. No matter how much a fighter is favored to win, anyone can be beat on any given night. It’s that type of unpredictability that makes MMA so much fun to watch.

It’s mind-boggling that everyone is looking past Nate Diaz in this fight. Diaz has already submitted Maynard before so he very well could do the same thing again. His long reach-advantage frustrated Maynard in the first fight; and while Maynard has developed his striking over the years, the long reach of Diaz will still be a problem for him in the octagon.

UFC 107: Penn defeated Sanchez


The Prodigy had defeated the Nightmare!

BJ Penn was successful in retaining his belt by stopping Diego Sanchez via TKO due to a big cut on Diego's head, just above his left eye. A very big cut that the doctor called it off; Penn was winning the fight by points though.

It was a very good fight that it even reached the last round. Penn just dominated the whole fight; it started after he landed a devastating hook to the chin of Sanchez that made the latter groggy. That had changed the pacing of the game; the usually furious and fast Diego Sanchez was not playing his game anymore, he was always on-guard.

On the last round, Penn had landed a big head-kick that caused the cut on the head of Sanchez; the worst cut that Diego had, I believe. The fight had to be stopped. When they were showing the replay of that head-kick by Penn, just after that leg left the head of Sanchez the big cut revealed itself in slow motion. So sick.

BJ Penn is victorious once again. Simply amazing!

UFC 107: PENN vs SANCHEZ

Unbeaten at 155 pounds for nearly eight years, BJ Penn has ruled the lightweight division with an iron fist, finishing top contenders Joe Stevenson, Sean Sherk, and Kenny Florian along the way. “The Prodigy” will face a challenger as willing as he is to leave it all on the line in The Ultimate Fighter® season one winner Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez, who has reinvented himself as a relentless cardio machine that won’t stop moving forward until he wears the UFC championship belt around his waist.

Plus, former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir returns to the Octagon to begin his quest for a third title, and to move back up the ladder in one of the sport’s toughest divisions. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace will have to survive the ferocious striking attack of French contender Cheick Kongo, who knows that a win over a superstar like Mir will move him closer to his first title opportunity.

UFC: BJ Penn vs GSP?


Georges "Rush" St-Pierre is still the undisputed UFC Welterweight Champion!

GSP is still on top but BJ Penn is saying something.

After the fight of GSP and Jon Fitch, and the former was announced as the winner, BJ Penn entered the Octagon and congratulated the "Rush" and eventually challenged him. A very good way to be in the spotlight.

Dana White, president of the UFC, commented on the possibility of current UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre meeting current UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn. He claimed that both parties are interested and will work out the details soon. If the fight does take place, Penn would move up in weight to challenge St. Pierre and he will most likely not vacate his 155 pound championship. The fight could take place as early as December. White also said that multiple projects are in the works to hold UFC events worldwide, with the Philippines as the country most likely to hold an event.
