Unbeaten at 155 pounts for nearly eight years, BJ Penn has ruled the lightweight division with an iron first, finishing top contenders Joe Stevenson, Sean Sherk, and Kenny Florian along the way. “The Prodigy” will face a challenger as wiling as he is to leave it a 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 tile, 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 attack of French contender Cheick Kongo, who know that a win over a superstar like Mir will move him closer to his first title opportunity.
