Hughes-Penn III in the Works for UFC 123
CagePotato has learned through a source close to the situation that discussions are underway between Matt Hughes, BJ Penn and the UFC to set up a rubbermatch between the pair at UFC 123 on November 20.
The event, which is scheduled for The Palace of Auburn Hills in the Detroit suburb of Auburn Hills, Michigan will feature a main card match-up between former UFC light heavyweight champions Lyoto Machida and Quinton Jackson.
We first learned of the possible match-up last week, and although we were unable to confirm with Hughes or Penn camps as of time of writing, both men have since confirmed that they could possibly compete in November, so it seems like the tip was legit and that the bout is in fact a plausibility.
Great fight here. Hopefully BJ won't look so bad at 170 again. Matt's been looking great lately though.

This should be great. I've officially stopped counting Hughes out awhile ago. It's hard to count someone like BJ out either, but I'm going with Matt in this one.

I'm sure he was given a few incentives.

You make me mad, Hetfield.
If this fight doesn't come together, I hold you and only you responsible for some sort of voodoo esque jumping-the-gun sort of thing.
Let it simmer!

I called that one as soon as Penn said he was going up to 170.
Picking Penn for the win

Should be a very interesting card, as the main event sounds solid too...going with Hughes in this one.

really like the poster. That is going to be a fun event.
Sucky match for Hughes and Penn though as I don't want to see either guy lose. I don't want Matt to lose his momentum towards another shot at the title and I don't want to see Penn losing for a third time in a row. It should be a great fight though and I give the edge to Penn even though he hasn't fought at 170 in a while..
