UFC Ultimate Fighter TUF

BJ PENN VS DIEGO SANCHEZ CONFIRMED FOR UFC 107





UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn will fight Diego Sanchez in the co-main event of UFC 107, which also features a battle between The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 coaches Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans. (looks like this fight is off until next year now)

"B.J. is fighting Dec. 12," UFC president Dana White stated Thursday afternoon in a video blog on BJPenn.com.

White already confirmed the bout a week ago at the UFC 102 pre-fight press conference. At the time, he said there was a chance it would headline an as of yet unannounced third November event that would be neither a pay-per-view nor a Spike TV event, leading to speculation about the oft-rumored network television deal.

White has frequently stated, "Once we get the right offer, we will be on network television." Apparently the right offer hasn't yet arrived, or at least not in time for November. Sanchez (21-2), the winner of the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter, last competed at The Ultimate Fighter Season 9 Finale, where he defeated the venerable Clay Guida by split decision.
