Event: UFC 107: Penn vs. Sanchez
Venue: FedExForum (Memphis, Tennessee)
Date: December 12, 2009
Tonight BJ Penn will defend his lightweight belt against Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez in UFC 107's main event. The UFC Monster is on vacation in Seattle. Off of a successful UFC 106 prediction preview, let's see what we can do tonight with the eleven (11) matches scheduled. Short on time, I will advance to the fictitious $1000 bankroll. Unfortunately, there will be little room for error, as I like all the favorites in tonight's card … and in mixed martial arts fighting, that can be a dangerous proposition. Money management and smart distribution of risk will determine our outcome.
In the words of Mike Goldberg, "And, here we go!" …
