BJ Penn vs Matt Hughes confirmed for UFC 123

[es_19]

looks like a pretty solid card already
machida vs evans
and now this

whoa.

 

[canucksfreak19]

No doubt.

Rampage vs. Machida
Hughes vs. Penn
Sotiropoulos vs. Lauzon
Davis vs. Boetsch
Harris vs. Falcao
Griffin vs. Lentz
Alves vs. Pierce (possibly)
and then clear undercard fights
Ruediger vs. Kelly
Parisyan vs. Hallman
Elkins vs. Barboza

The fights in bold are the three I'm most looking forward to. Sotiropoulos vs. J-Lau should be an awesome fight. If George wins it's probably a title shot for him. Getting to see Mr. Wonderful fight is great, I just wonder which of his personalities shows up for the fight. And I am a huge Gerald Harris fan, and I hope that they don't jam him on the undercard, although they probably will, at least put that fight on Spike.

Any card with Rampage is solid.

Any card with Rampage is solid.

I agree with you about Rampage.

They had to give Penn a fossil to beat up on to bust up a losing streak? Well done Dana.

Fossil? BJ was the one who looked like he was fossilized in amber last fight.

definatly agree, hughes looked good in his last fight vs almeida. Penn not so much

I think Penn will be a rightful favorite; however, I would not be surprised if Penn lost because as he showed in training (or lack thereof) in the second Edgar fight firing the Marinovich's because they wanted him to work too hard. Moving up to 170 doesn't instill any confidence in me that BJ's going to train sufficiently for the fight.
