The UFC has officially announced the entire card for December 12th’s “UFC 107: Penn vs. Sanchez” pay-per-view. After losing Quinton “Rampage” Jackson to “retirement,” the UFC was left scrambling to find a worthy main event to headline their first event in Memphis, Tennessee.

BJ Penn will be defending his lightweight title against #1 contender Diego Sanchez in the main event. Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir will take on Cheick Kongo in a bout that has title implications in a fluid heavyweight division.

Jon Fitch will also be returning to action against Mike Pierce in a welterweight bout while Clay Guida looks to bounce back from his loss to Sanchez against Kenny Florian, who’s coming off of a loss to Penn.

Ultimate Fighting Mixed Martial Arts BJ Penn

Mixed martial arts career
Penn’s accomplishments in the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship caught the attention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he began his mixed martial arts career less than a year later in 2001. He demonstrated strong striking skills, knocking out lightweights Din Thomas and Caol Uno before suffering a decision loss in a title fight against UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver. In 2003, after Pulver left the UFC and relinquished his title, a tournament to crown a new champion flopped when Penn fought Uno to a draw in the finals at UFC 41, a failure which caused the UFC to later suspend its lightweight division. Penn bounced back later in the year with a victory over Takanori Gomi, future PRIDE Fighting Championship lightweight champion, in Rumble on the Rock, an MMA organization promoted by Penn’s brother.

The crowning achievement of Penn’s career came in 2004 at UFC 46. Penn jumped up in weight classes to challenge the five-time defending UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes to fill a title contention slot in a division where Hughes had already defeated all the available opposition. Heavily favored to win, Hughes lost the fight four minutes into the first round by rear naked choke after giving up his back with only 23 seconds left in the round.
