UFC 127 Fight Card Results, Live Blog and Analysis for Penn vs. Fitch

This is it, boys and girls: UFC 127 is officially upon us and Yours Truly would like to take this time now to thank you for keeping it locked to Bleacher Report MMA for all your UFC 127 coverage, news and pre-fight analysis.

For those of you who aren't holding on to your $45 tonight—or following that super-lame restraining order that says, "You can't be within 50 feet of Buffalo Wild Wings, and no, we don't care that it's Fight Night tonight"—the event will kick off tonight at 9 pm Central Time/10 pm Eastern/7 pm Pacific & Canada Time.

If you are holding onto your cash or if you are following that restraining order Buffalo Wild Wings put out against you, don't worry about it.

The rest of the B/R crew and myself will be keeping you up to speed with everything that goes down here tonight at the UFC's return to The Land Down Under—headlined by an epic Welterweight battle between former UFC Welterweight contender Jon Fitch and unquestionable UFC/MMA legend and the only man to be the World Champion in the UFC's Lightweight and Welterweight divisions, "The Prodigy" BJ Penn.

Also on this card is a Middleweight scrap that is one of the most overlooked UFC fights of this year since UFC 125's main event and co-main event—a bout in which Michael Bisping will look to not only shut down the blasting offense of Jorge Rivera, but also look to shut Rivera up after weeks of trash-talk in the pre-fight hype train before the weigh-ins last night.

Not to be forgotten, Chris Lytle looks to adjust his game plan from one fixated toward a well-rounded Carlos Condit to a seasoned veteran in Brian Ebersole, and in a homecoming with possible implications regarding the winner of the third bout between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard, hometown boy and perennial UFC fan favorite George Sotiropoulos will look to capitalize on his return home—and a .6-pound cut—in a Lightweight battle with the most dangerous kickboxer in the UFC Lightweight division, Dennis Siver.

It's all right here, so keep it locked with us as B/R brings you the good, the better and the best of UFC 127!
