We’re less than a week away from the most exciting UFC pay-per-view event since Liddell-Couture III earlier this year.
That’s right, the much anticipated rematch between UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes and former UFC Welterweight Champion BJ Penn is going to be off the charts.
Predictions anyone?

I don't like BJ Penn, but you have to give credit where credits due and I give him credit for choking out Matt Hughes in the their last fight, but you have to give the major edge to Hughes. Hughes has beaten every fighter he's fought since that match, including UFC hall of famer and MMA legend Royce Gracie. BJ Penn is a really good fighter has well, but you really have not seen him in really major competition (except in K1's Heroes where he didn't do that well) and lost to Georges St. Pierre when he made his UFC comeback at UFC 58.
Hughes is going to win.

I respect B.J. Penn. He's a tough guy and very skilled, but I give the edge to Matt Hughes. Hughes has been fighting regularly against tough competition and has vastly improved his overall skills since his first fight with Penn. Hughes is arguably the strongest UFC fighter in his weight class. Should be a good fight and I'll be watching Saturday night!

I hope BJ Penn gets his jaw broken because George St. Pierre was never injured, instead Penn was such a cry baby about GSP wipping the floor with him that he filed a lawsuit against the UFC for stripping him of his title belt and this fight is part of a settlement to get him to drop the suit.

Tough decision. Penn I give the edge in both striking and on the ground. Hughes can shoot and take him down at will though. If Hughes wins it will be from decision. Hes gunna win points with his takedowns.
I'm gunna call it Penn late in the 2nd hes gunna throw a combo,collar tie up and drop Hughes with a knee.
I don't know the whole card but heres what i think
Rashad def. Lambert
Lauzon def. Pulver
Guillard def. Ruediger

I want BJ Penn to win again
He is getting too cocky though
Matt Hughes is a worthy opponent so I expect this to be a great fight

Hughes, Rashad, Guillard, and Loiseau will all be victorious. I can't tell you the others, because you may beat me out of the fantasy points if I give you all the details :)
