Babalu Busted Up, The Prodigy To The Rescue

At UFC 62 I lost a $1 to Trainor when Renato 'Babalu' Sobral got KO'd by Chuck Liddell. A tough loss I must admit but it's time to move on and look at UFC 63 and it will be time for BJ Penn to get reintroduced to the Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes.

For those with short memories, BJ Penn was the last man to defeat Hughes as he easily choked out the UFC in the first round of their fight. At that point BJ Penn was moving up from Light Weight (155 lbs) to Welterweight (170 lbs) and Hughes and the Title were his first fight.

The image of Penn choking out Hughes must still haunt him to this day. Penn was stripped of the title right after the fight as he left UFC for Japan but on September 23rd The Prodigy is coming back for the title he never lost and coming back to win me that $1 back from Trainor... eat it Bitch.
