The penn stevenson is still for an interim title? If they stripped sherk fo the title why is this still for an interim belt?

Because UFCDaily.com said so & it was a copy/paste.
Sherk gets his title shot at the winner anyways, because the whole situation was bs & he got stripped on a technicality. The UFC realizes that his situation was based on a stupid mistake that was beyond SS control so he's getting a title shot soon after w/out having to climb the ladder again.

I'm rooting for Joe, but I can't see him beating BJ. But thats the beauty of MMA, there is no such thing as a sure thing.

I just got home & started watching the event. Missed the first half hour? it seems. read the PbP for the prelims. Event seems like its been killer so far with Kendall Grove getting beaten down!

fuck Lambert got ko'd! He was destroying Gouevia too. This makes me sad Lambert is one of my favorite fighters.

Gonzaga got finished basically because he was tired. Oh well.

Penn/Stevenson is up next. Penn via whatever he wants

Gouveia = one of my favorite fighters.

After the first round i had a sick feeling in my stomach. Thank lambert fell like a sack of potatoes & I jumped up & started screaming. My neighbors=angry even though i live in a single house.

If it wasn't for that cut things could've been so different. I'm still a JS fan. Let's see what happens w/ BJ vs SS

I don't see it. JS was being dominated from the opening bell.
