UFC 84 results and LIVE fight coverage for Penn vs Sherk

UFC 84 results

It’s been a relatively short break for mixed martial arts action, giving us some time time to catch our collective breath and get ready for two very busy months in late May and June.

UFC 84: “Ill Will” is set to go off a little more than two weeks from now at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, May 24. The pay-per-view (PPV) telecast will air LIVE at 10 p.m. ET, at which time MMAmania.com will provide blow-by-blow, minute-by-minute, round-by-round coverage of the main card bouts.

In addition, we will share the latest quick results of the prelim action, beginning at around 8:30 p.m. ET.

Here’s what we have to look forward to:

Main Event:

UFC Lightweight Champion B.J. Penn (12-4-1) vs. Sean Sherk (32-2-1)

Main card (televised):

205 lbs.: Wanderlei Silva (31-8-1) vs. Keith Jardine (13-3-1)
205 lbs.: Goran Reljic (7-0) vs. Wilson Gouveia (10-4)
205 lbs.: Tito Ortiz (15-5-1) vs. Lyoto Machida (12-0)
205 lbs.: Thiago Silva (12-0) vs. Antonio Mendes (14-2)

Under card (may not be broadcast):

185 lbs.: Rousimar Palhares (7-1) vs. Ivan Salaverry (12-5)
205 lbs.: Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (4-2) vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura (11-7)
155 lbs.: Terry Etim (10-1) vs. Rich Clementi (31-12-1)
170 lbs.: Jon Koppenhaver (5-1) vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida (9-2)
170 lbs.: Dong Hyun Kim (9-1-1) vs. Jason Tan (5-2)
265 lbs.: Shane Carwin (8-0) vs. Christian Wellisch (8-3)

Of course, the marquee attraction of the evening is the explosive 155-pound match up between UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn and former division titleholder, Sean Sherk. We’ve been talking about this showdown since “The Prodigy” toppled Jens Pulver in his return to the weight class at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5 Finale in June 2007.

It’s almost time to see it all hit the fan.

Four light heavyweight showdowns round out the main card, including the possible last Octagon appearance for Tito Ortiz when he takes on the undefeated and surging Lyoto Machida. Wanderlei Silva — a former Pride FC champion and superstar for nearly seven years — will also look to pick up his first UFC win since 1999 against Keith Jardine.

Should be a great night … be sure to catch it if you can. And whether or not that is or isn’t possible, remember to be sure and check us out before, during and after the fights for total event coverage.
