UFC 123 fight card

Tonight UFC 123 will witness a thriller rematch between Matt Hughes and BJ Penn. Penn will step into the Octagon to re-establish his fame as the former champion. For Hughes it’s the third chance to prove his upper-hand over the king of ring.

UFC fans are impatiently waiting for this Co-Main Event that happens with the stunning return of BJ Penn. Each of them keeps equal power as both have experienced win and lose in their previous bouts. However, the pressure will be on Penn as he had lost the last two bouts with present middleweight champion Frankie Edgar.
UFC fans will get a do-or die match as Penn will try his best to regain his fame but Matt Hughes will try to use his wrestling to beat BJ for 3 rounds. Hughes will try to repeat his killer performance in the last 3 fights. Hughes had defeated Matt Serra, Renzo Gracie, and Ricardo Almeida recently.

Experts say BJ Penn will be able to stop a few of the takedowns from Hughes early in the fight. They believe that if Penn manage to control Matt on his back he should be able to win this fight. BJ comes to the cage after enough home work and can beat Hughes if he could act enough with his power.

Meanwhile, both fighters have declined the rumor of retirement. Penn had already refused any quit after his fatal defeat to Edgar. On the other hand Hughes also disclosed that "I think about retirement all the time, I've got four kids at home and a wife who likes to see me and other things to do."
