When Frankie Edgar met BJ Penn in the co-main event of UFC 112 last April 10, 2010 at Abu Dhabi, no one gave him a chance to win.
After all, Penn has defended his UFC lightweight title three consecutive times against top competition: Sean Sherk, Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez.
Penn is also regarded at that time as the #1 lightweight in the world and was only the second fighter to win UFC titles in two different weight classes (Randy Couture is the other).
I have been a member of twitter since August 20, 2008 and honestly, I don’t really understand how twitter works and no idea on how to tap its power to benefit my site. I just tweeted links from my site hoping that the members of the twitosphere will check it out.
However in 1 year, my Google Analytics shows me that I only received 342 visits from twitter.
Matt Hughes has been one of the most dominant UFC fighters ever.
He is a former two-time UFC Welterweight Champion, has put together two separate six-fight winning streaks in the UFC, has defended the welterweight belt a record seven times and is tied with Chuck Liddell for the most wins in the UFC with 16.
There have been few fighters with Filipino blood who have had success in the UFC.
The most successful is Brandon Vera but after becoming a hot item with 4 consecutive wins (in astounding fashion) to start his UFC career, he has been spiraling downwards managing only 3 wins in 8 fights and is on a two-game losing streak with losses to Randy Couture at UFC 105 and Jon Jones at UFC LIVE: Vera vs. Jones.
Three exciting matchups will happen at UFC 112: Invincible this Saturday, April 10, 2010 at the Concert Arena, Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
In the main event, Anderson “The Spider” Silva defends his UFC Middleweight championship belt against top contender Demian Maia.
Another title defense is in the offing with BJ “The Prodigy” Penn’ s UFC Lightweight championship belt on the line versus Frankie “The Answer” Edgar in the co-main event.
And the last but not the least bout pits former UFC Welterweight champion Matt Hughes against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert Renzo Gracie.
Its just proper that UFC 112 is titled Invincible. After all, two challengers will try to beat the odds and defeat two seemingly invincible champions.
Can Demian Maia break the Spider’s record for the longest winning streak in UFC history?
Does Frankie Edgar hold the answer to BJ Penn’s prodigious fighting skills?
Mixed-martial arts fans simply can’t contain their excitement to see the UFC 112 results of the matchups.
