Long and short of it is as follows, Pulvers going down to 145 to Zuffa-owned WEC to compete at 145 llbs and set his sights on 19-1 Urijah Faber.
Penn on the other hand lost weight to make 155. He’s definitely NOT a natural 155 pounder and win 1 out of 4 losses avenged, he is making the jump up to 170 to take on the guy who clearly didn’t like the result of the TUF5 finale. That’s right fight fans, Matt Hughes is next on Penn’s hit list.
These guys last fought in September 2006 and it was the last fight Penn had before Pulver. Training and moving up to 170 is easy for Penn since he’s essentially a fat mofo.
So that’s it, BJ Penn Vs. Matt Hughes, how do you like those apples?

Bj Penn vs Matt Hughes.. As long as Bj Penn doesnt tear his ribs against matt hughes in any of the rounds like his last fight.. Bj Penn will dominate matt hughes like he did against pulver 2. Bj penns bjj will totally shut down matt hughes grappling offense.
i have 2 agree wiv gee.bjs got the tools 2 do the job.when bjs on form hes hard 2 beat.
bj had his way with jens.an impresive display.
penn v hughes is a huge fight and could well be a classic.
I forgot what I was going to say… Oh yeah, Penn totally played with Pulver. I was kinda pissed about it since I was SOOOO convinced that Pulver was going to knock him out :S
Oh, well, I admit it, I got it wring and Gee - you called it so you get kudos and I’m glad that Bean’s hooking you up with a gold medal!
I forgot to add. If Bj penn bumps up to 170 lb and doesn’t work on his cardio. Since cutting weight wouldn’t be a problem, bj penn better keep his cardio up or you will just another dejavu match. I wouldn’t count Matt Hughes to be a easy victory. It would be a good match still since Matt hughes has a big gas tank and heart which he can easily win with a decision. Plus Matt Hughes wants his belt back and he will be training harder. Expect matt hughese to Strike next ufc matches.. ohh yahh 170 class is pretty much open .. any fighters chance of getting the belt.
