UFC and Fathead to create MMA posters
The largest MMA promotion has signed a deal with Fathead to create large wall posters of UFC fighters. Now we all know that you’re wondering just how you could fit a huge Tito Ortiz head on your bedroom wall, but I’m sure they’ll figure it out – keep it life-size maybe? MMA Junkie broke the news with a quote from Dana White to make it official. “Fathead makes the best wall graphics in the business,” UFC president Dana White said. “This is another cool way for our fans to show support for… (Full Story)

UFC 102 Pre-Fight Press Conference Notes
Dana White held court yesterday as the UFC held a UFC 102 pre-fight press conference yesterday. White touched on many topics including naming B.J. Penn’s next opponent, whether or not he would offer live counter programming against Fedor Emelianenko’s Strikeforce debut and whether or not he would merge the WEC with the UFC as both promotions are owned and operated by Zuffa. Diego Sanchez will get the next crack at the 155lb. title that B.J. Penn has held since January of 2008. Penn… (Full Story)
Keith Florian Accuses B.J. Penn Of Cheating
This time the shoe is on the other foot for UFC lightweight champion, B.J. Penn. Penn has made wild accusations against Georges St. Pierre ever since he was soundly defeated in their UFC 94 bout in January. He accused GSP of greasing and went so far as to testify in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Lately he has accused GSP of taking steroids. Let’s see how he likes being on the other side of coin. In an interview conducted by Fight Hype, Keith Florian, who is the brother… (Full Story)
B.J. Penn: Never Gone
I’ve heard a lot of discussion about B.J. Penn (14-5-1 MMA, 10-4-1 UFC, #1 IWMMAR) getting “back on the winning track” and, all due respect to my friend Dave Mayeda, I understand that B.J.’s loss to Georges St. Pierre (19-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC, #1 IWMMAR) and both the hype and the ensuing aftermath (which cast B.J. as both lazy and a sore loser), but the reality is, B.J. at lightweight and B.J. at welterweight are two distinctly different fighters. At 170 pounds, Penn often gains weight so that he… (Full Story)

B.J. Penn on Machida vs. Evans
For those who haven’t seen B.J. Penn’s comments (after the 1:38 mark) shortly after the Machida vs. Evans fight at UFC 98, B.J. makes a valid point. Machida, after all, couldn’t "do that sh*t to him." As a recent commenter pointed to a statistical report of Machida’s career , the report clearly demonstrates that Penn was the most effective opponent Machida has ever fought. But, let’s be realistic, Penn fought a different Lyoto Machida than Rashad Evans. What the statistics… (Full Story)
