bad beat for b.j. penn at ufc 94

Ouch. I'm not a huge follower of UFC, so when I started hearing from fight fans that B.J. Penn would be taking on George St-Pierre this weekend for the UFC Welterwieght title, I stood up and took notice. He was attempting to become the first UFC fighter to hold two belts simultaneously. It didn't happen.

Penn, the lightweight champ, took a relentless beating from St-Pierre, lasting four rounds then succumbing to a technical knockout stoppage by a ringside doctor and his corner before the fifth: Georges St-Pierre dominates B.J. Penn at UFC 94.

Rough night. Penn basically found himself completely dominated by St-Pierre's repeated takedowns and extended barrages of punches and elbows, before a capacity crowd of 14,885 at MGM Grand Garden Arena. I didn't even watch it, but it just sounds like it was painful -- for both B.J. and his fans.
