BJ Penn Dominates Diego Sanchez

BJ Penn proved once again that he was in a different league from his competition. Penn destroyed Diego Sanchez in a fifth round stoppage (due to a severe cut from punishment). Sanchez was not in Penn's league and couldn't do anything to even challenge Penn. Penn's stand up was far superior and Sanchez wasn't anywhere near able to take Penn down. The trouble now is that there is no competition left in the UFC at lightweight for Penn. There is a real challenger outside of the UFC in Dream lightweight champion Shinya Aoki but it's not clear what would have to happen for those two to get in the ring together. Nonetheless, this was the prodigy's night as he showed his place in MMA history is solid.

In other action, Frank Mir quickly chocked out Cheick Kongo after landing a blistering right hand to put Kongo on the floor. Mir is looking for a rematch with Lesnar and seems to be better than ever after this victory. Kenny Florian also took out Clay Guida in a superb performance earlier in the night.
