The fight game can and will at times get very personal. The war of words has went back and forth between UFC Lightweight Champion: BJ "THE PRODIGY" PENN and former champ SEAN "THE MUSCLE SHARK" SHERK. The talking will stop on May 24 and as these two competitors step into the cage to determine the undisputed king of the 155-lb. Lightweight division. Note:This will be Sherk's first fight back since his steroid suspension.

TITO "HUNTINGTON BEACH BAD BOY" ORTIZ faces the Undefeated LYOTO "THE DRAGON" MACHIDA. Note: This is Ortiz last fight in the UFC due to the ever controversial Ortiz and Dana White not being able to settle on a contract. With a win over Ortiz, Machida would propel his popularity in the states along with a potential shot at the title. Machida won and could be the most boring fighter in all of MMA!

Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva steps back in the cage to face Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine. Wandy will look to get back into the win column as he has dropped three-fights in a row. The Dean of Mean, however, steps back in after the biggest win of his career over Chuck "The Ice Man" Liddell at UFC 76.

The three fights mentioned above will be the three-feature fights of the night!

Look out for:

Thiago Silva is coming off a TKO win over Houston Alexander and will be looking to win his fourth-straight in the UFC and continue on his hot streak. Silva is now training out of American Top Team w/ the likes of: Denis Kang, Wilson Gouveia, Antonio Silva, and Jorge Santiago.

Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou steps back into the Octagon coming off his UFC debut against Lyoto Machida. Without a doubt, Sokoudjou will look to get back into to win column in impressing fashion. Sokoudjou training out of Team Quest w/ Dan Henderson and Matt Lindland will no doubt be ready for this showdown against Nakamura.

1. BJ "The Prodigy" Penn
2. Tito "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz
3. Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva
