UFC President Dana White reaffirms his plan during the UFC 101 post-fight press conference to bring surging lightweight Diego Sanchez into a championship bout against current 155-pound kingpin BJ Penn later this year or perhaps early 2010. "Nightmare" earned his shot after dropping to lightweight and outpointing Joe Stevenson and Clay Guida, effectively vaulting himself to the top of the number one contender list -- which may have also been helped by his 8-2 record in the welterweight division. He'll have his toughest test to date against "The Prodigy," who submitted Kenny Florian at UFC 101 on August 8 to solidify himself as the best lightweight in the UFC -- and perhaps the world.

manny pacquiao Promoter Bob Arum wants Pacquiao Mayweather fight
NEW YORK — Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is ready to begin negotiations for a megafight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The only problem is that Arum isn’t sure whom to negotiate with.
Mayweather has been represented in his past few fights by Golden Boy Promotions. Arum said Thursday that Golden Boy boss Richard Schaefer told him Mayweather is a free agent.
Top Rank represents Pacquiao, the Filipino star who stopped welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in a brutally dazzling display Saturday night in Las Vegas. The company represented Mayweather early in his career, but their relationship has become strained.
Pacquiao-Mayweather looms as the one of the most anticipated fights in decades if it comes together.
