*HELP SANCTION MMA IN NEW YORK http://www.mmafacts.com



This month is the peak of the MMA drought for the year. I think the fight I'm most looking forward to is Ali Bagautinov vs. Joseph Benavidez or Stipe Miocic vs. Ben Rothwell because nothing else - not even really the LHW title fight - is doing much for me. Good luck to you all and I hope to see you on the other side of this month.

Important champions -


Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum


Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier


Middleweight Champion Chris "The All-American" Weidman


Welterweight Champion "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler


Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos


Featherweight Champion Jose "Scarface" Aldo


Interim Feather Champion "Notorious" Conor Mcgregor


Bantamweight Champion TJ Dillashaw


Flyweight Champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson


Women's Bantamweight Champion "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey


Women's Strawweight Champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk

Upcoming Events:
UFC 192 - October 3
UFC Fight Night - October 24

I think you're right. And I should remember, that armbar he eventually got him with was ridiculous. It just didn't look like Etim's weird gangly body. Must be from that period when he started to eat things.

He actually is a nightclub owner. It's where he picks up women for his uncle.

He is a sleazy night club owner. But he is from the very ghetto part of milwaukee. His parents for sure didn't own anything he didn't buy post-UFC payday.

So BJ Penn called out loving Nik Lentz on UFC Tonight and says he wants to make a 145-pound comeback to piss off Mike Dolce.

Bubba Smith
Sep 27, 2004

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
Well Lentz was a Dolce guy right? I think that's the reason for the call out. But they might as well do Penn vs Dolce.

I dunno if the Penn that showed up to Edgar 3 could hang with any top featherweight these days. As much as I'd like for Penn to go out on an impressive win I think he's gonna embarrass himself even more if he comes back. So he shouldn't.

Maybe BJ Penn should stick to his walking weight of 205 and fight Dolce at LHW instead of this even worse idea he currently has.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I trust BJ Penn's completely upright stance will truly be able to overcome a man who is a 145 pound Jon Fitch.

I remember Evan Dunham tricking him into having a good fight and Mendes almost dying of the cold in the middle of beating him unimpressively. I have no other memories of Nik Lentz.

Nik Lentz's only UFC stoppage victories will be Waylon Lowe, Eiji Mitsuoka and BJ Penn, and it will be sad but also really funny.

Uriah Hall is going to murder the gently caress out of Gegard Mousasi only to lose a tepid decision to Robert Whittaker and nothing will ever better encapsulate him as a fighter.

Nik Lentz has a corgi, and even with that, he's not beloved on the internet.

I like Whitaker for causing pain to Colton Smith, but we all need to hope that Uriah comes out guns blazing and pushes his poo poo in. I really don't want to watch three rounds of Uriah waiting for an opening against a counterstriker.

BJ Penn having a vendetta against people who like vegetables is one of the least surprising things I can imagine.

JOURNALIST: BJ, BJ over here. You've had a storied career, and the last story of it was that you stood around like a loving idiot getting your rear end beat while imagining yourself in some kind of invisible torture rack designed to stretch you to the proportions of Semmy Schilt for reasons that nobody understood or cared about. With that in mind, what does this fight with Nik Lentz mean for that story?

BJ Penn sits motionless with no expression as the frilly little tablecloth covering the front of the lovely tables on the stage at the MGM Grand parts directly in front of his groin to reveal a Punch and Judy puppet show where both puppets are Roy Jones Jr.

The trick is to assume from the get-go he's going to poo poo the bed and freeze up. That way he can only meet or exceed expectations.
