All I know is that it's common in crossword puzzles.

Dana (White) confirmed B.J. Penn will face Jon Fitch in Sydney, (Australia).

Penn vs Fitch will main event the Sydney card. It was booked immediately after Penn won tonight.

I'm curious to see if that quietly disappears. Sounds like a hastily made garbage main event.

I've always been kind of interested in Fitch/Penn tbh. But what happens to Ellenberger? He was supposed to fight Fitch.

Fitch will kick his ass and it will be ugly and one-sided.

Anyone think GSP-Penn III gets set up after the KOS- GSP fight?

I hope not...................For BJ's sake.

Watch the clock. It seemed off to me too at the time.

Should have went another 4-5 seconds. Whats fucked up, is that after that 3rd round, dude is in the doghouse with Dana, where if that would have went another few seconds, Dana would have been singing his praises.

Dana just says in the media scrum that BJ Penn will fight Jon Fitch on the Sydney card in February

My penis slightly arroused. I was thinking the next fight for BJ might be Serra, but this is much better.

You guys seriously like the Penn/Fitch fight?

Its just going to be all Fitch and everyone will complain, I'm telling you.

I do. It will be interesting to see if Fitch can get BJ down, and if he does, if he can stay out of a sub.

I actually think BJ has a good chance of employing the GSP plan, where he just keeps the fight on the feet and picks Fitch apart with superior striking.

Plus, I think we have a MORE MOTIVATED Penn at 170. We've known forever that that's really where his heart is. It's not at 155.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Although once a top UFC lightweight contender, Tyson Griffin since has posted three consecutive losses.

The latest came Saturday on the untelevised preliminary card of UFC 123, where Griffin (14-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC) suffered a controversial split-decision defeat to Nick Lentz (20-3-2 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC).

And though Griffin now has suffered a trio of defeats, UFC president Dana White said the Xtreme Couture fighter won't be cut from the organization's roster.

White knows MMA judging has its problems and continually cautions fighters not to leave their fate in the officials' hands, but he's adamant Griffin got a raw deal.

"Tyson Griffin got [expletive] big time tonight," White said.

The bout was far from a barnburner, and both fighters continually stalled working for takedowns. But Griffin appeared the aggressor despite the judges' 29-28, 27-30 and 29-28 scores in his opponent's favor.

Prior to his recent three-fight skid, which also include a split-decision defeat to top contender Evan Dunham and a flash knockout to Takanori Gomi, Griffin went 7-2 in his first nine UFC fights and picked up five "Fight of the Night" bonuses and a "Submission of the Night" award.

Those bonus checks don't get to boring fighters, and White said such competitors get longer leashes when determining who gets their walking papers and who gets televised spots.

"You know how I feel," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I like guys who come in and fight. I'd rather keep a guy who lost a dogfight than keep a guy who ran around in circles for three rounds and won."
