BJ PennGood three or so weeks of MMA coming up! 

For starters, there's UFC 84 tomorrow night.  BJ Penn defends his title against Sean Sherk in the main event.  I'm a BJ Penn fan, just because he's so different from other mma fighters.  That and I really dislike Sherk as a person and a fighter, so I'm looking forward to Penn handling Sherk easily.  My prediction, BJ Penn beats Sherk via submission in the first roud.

Next week, May 31st, we have EliteXC making its CBS debut.  It's also the first-ever live MMA event on network TV.  Super excited about that!  I would like to see MMA become a bit more mainstream.  I do worry about EliteXC handling the event.  I don't think showing ladies competeing is wise for this first show, but what do I know?

The next day (June 1st) we have probably the biggest WEC card we've seen.  The main event pretty much makes this worth watching (and the fact that its free to watch on the Versus chanel.)  Urijah Faber defends his 145lb title against Jens Pulver.  I wll watch any Jens Pulver fight.  The dude is just exciting all-around.  I saw his last fight in the WEC against Cub Swanson.  Pulver definately out-classed Cub with a very quick first round win.  And Urijah is in the top ten pound for pound fighters in the world.  I can't wait!
