Penn/Sanchez out of November and on UFC 107

News

BJ Penn announced on his website today that he’s facing Diego Sanchez at UFC 107 on December 12. The show, which also features Rampage Jackson vs. Rashad Evans, will take place in Memphis.

The lightweight title bout was originally scheduled for UFC 105 on November 14. It was moved from that date in the hopes that it would land on a network show sometime in November, but it’s become apparent that no network deal is coming any time soon.
