UFC 94: Pierre vs Penn

I have become very into MMA lately and have fallen in LOVE with it! Kristan and I watch all the UFC fights on Spike and have started watching the big fights on Pay Per View. When I first saw George that's when I knew I was going to be a life long fan! I mean jeeze have you seen that body!! When Kristan & I found out that he was going to fight we invited friends over and had a little party. They had a show that was Penn & Pierre training leading up to the big night and Kristan and I were all over it! Then the big day was finally here...

Saturday night January 31 2009 two of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, Georges St. Pierre and B.J. Penn, squared off for the UFC World Welterweight Championship in one of the most highly anticipated fights in MMA history. St. Pierre, the reigning Welterweight champ, had defeated Penn by split decision in their only previous fight, and both fighters came in to UFC 94 looking to finish one another and keep the outcome out of the judges' hands. The Welterweight champ executed that game plan expertly right from the opening bell, aggressively shooting in for single-leg take downs throughout most of the first round and pinning Penn up against the cage in the clench when he failed to actually take him off his feet.

Sensing that he had Penn right where he wanted him, St. Pierre charged aggressively from his corner at the opening of the fourth round and pinned him in his own corner, quickly landing a strong leg kick and a superman punch before using a double-leg take down to put the challenger on his back. St. Pierre then worked feverishly in the ground-and-pound, dropping big left hand after big left hand on Penn's head as he feebly attempted to cover up, mixing in elbows and knees for good measure. Finally, after a brutal four-round beating, referee Herb Dean came to Penn's corner to ask if the Lightweight Champion could continue, and to solicit the advice of the ringside doctor. After a very brief conference in Penn's corner, Dean called a stop to the lopsided fight and declared St. Pierre the winner by TKO!!! I was so excited I threw my dog on the ground and started jumping up and down on the chair and screaming! He is by far the next pound-for-pound KING!!!!
