I don't think anyone will be getting the LW belt from BJ any time soon either but that's more to do with how much of a joke the LW division is. Tyson Griffin is the only LW fighter in the UFC I have any respect forphomp wrote: ↑Going the distance when you are a natural LW fighting a natural LHW at HW is pretty impressive. Machida is no slouch. Penn has also faught and won at 185. Also, Gomi was another opponent he knocked off in a fight many considered Penn to be the underdog.
Bj Penn destroyed Sherk like no other fighter has before. At 155 Penn is a monster. He is hyped up because he has earned it. This is a guy who was beating black belt BJJ's when he had a white belt and won nationals after 3 years of training. When he first entered the UFC, he was quite young and knocked off some great fighters. There is a reason for the hype. Penn is prehaps the most naturally gifted fighter in the sport but the physical aspect is what is missing. There is a reason why he gets so much credibility from his peers.
After Penn beat Hughes, I became a fan because he wanted to fight the best fighters in any weight class and in any promotion and that is what drew me in originally.
GSP is a monster at 170, with his strength and technique I thought GSP would win but in more of a war. Good for GSP, I do not think anyone will be taking that WW strap away from him for a while. But I also do not think anyone will be taking the LW title from Penn for a while either.

Haha, that's the first thing I always think of when greasing is mentioned.

Florian is sick, that will be a good fight. I don't get how you have no respect for him, not sure what else you can ask from him as he puts on a great show each time. Sanchez might do some damage at LW, but we'll have to see.
LW was so huge before, but now seems like a lot of #10-20 ranked fighters. Makes for some good matches, but not enough potential great title matches.

That's JUST PPV revenue. Then factor in advertising, merchandising and DVD sales etc and I bet they did close to 1/2 billion. BJ making 125k for a main event is a travesty.

I royally hate the overrated Shogun and his "Mario Lopez" (AC Slater) face. Can't wait to see Chuck Lidell crack his face.
On another note:
GSP Vs Rich Franklin would be a good fight.

GSP should charge Vaseline for publicity, it's like he's making their stuff look like god in a bottle. Apply one drop of this anywhere on your body and the world will be your slip n' slide!
Everybody he's beat is saying he was "greasy" now... magic stuff he's got there.

Ya and Vaseline helped GSP do this to BJ Penn?

BTW I agree with ya'll, they are ripping off their fighters and stuffing their own pockets with lots of money. The fighters should go on strike and threaten to jump ship unless their pays are higher. Just like the TTC.

The fighters should form a players union just like the NFL/MLB/NHL/etc. I believe the main cards get a small cut of the PPV buys, but I agree they still underpaid.

Especially since the UFC is considering taking a cut of their sponsorship money
But just by seeing how popular the sport is getting (and therefore more money of course), wouldn't be surprised to see unions forming...I think the only question is when it will happen
