If I recall correctly the Gonzaga Kro Cop fight was free live on Spike Tv. That was definitely knockout of the year for the ufc, only I couple I've seen that could even compare to that.

Penn's is much bigger stronger lightweight than he is welterweight. In that rematch with Penn and Hughes Penn dominated the first round, but gassed later in the fight and as you said pretty much gave up. In the past he has relied on technique and talent more so than training. He seems to have matured and is really applying himself now. He won the lightweight title on Sat night cause the former champ(Shawn Sherk) tested positive for steriods after his last fight with Hermes Franca and was stripped of the title. Now Sherk will fight Penn and this will be a real test for BJ. If he trains his ass off he will win, but if he doesn't he's in real trouble. Sherk is an animal and never stops coming forward and is always ready to go the distance. To bad for Sherk he tainted his image by taking steriods, but good for the UFC for stripping him of the title.
