The Ultimate Fighting Championship touched down in the North East of England for UFC 80: Rapid Fire
50% for Joe here, as Fabricio Werdum won by technical knockout, but BJ Penn did for Joe Stevenson by submission.
The UFC’s first show of 2008 takes place at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on 19 January.
"The Prodigy" BJ Penn faces Joe "Daddy" Stevenson for the UFC World Lightweight Championship while heavyweights Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga and Fabricio Werdum battle it out on the undercard.
Underdog Joe Stevenson looks good at 13/5 (betfair). Stevenson could test BJ Penn’s stamina and force a victory on points. Though he is up against a Jiu Jitsu master who is likely to test him on the ground.
Gonzaga got smashed up in his last heavyweight title bout – losing a third round stoppage to Randy Couture – and the Brazilian remains unproven at the highest level in the UFC. Put your cash on submission expert Werdum to cause an upset (12/5 totesport.com).
