UFC 84 Gambling Results & Odds

BJ Penn vs. Sean Sherk Fight odds at MGM Grand Garden Arena

Also on the card is Wanderlei Silva’s final fight as a light-heavyweight before dropping to middleweight, and he takes on Chuck Liddell’s conqueror Keith Jardine.

Jardine, who entered the UFC by way of "The Ultimate Fighter 2," posted a 4-2 record before a September 2007 split-decision victory over Chuck Liddell at UFC 76. The victory all but erased a previous first-round knockout loss to Houston Alexander at UFC 71 and thrust the 32-year-old back into title contention.

Thiago Silva (12-0) is now set to face UFC newcomer, Antonio Mendes (14-2) at UFC 84.

The undefeated Brazilian, who last fought at UFC 78: Validation, in which he scored a first round TKO over Houston Alexander, will now take on a fellow Brazilian in the form of Antonio Mendes. Mendes went 9-0 in 2007 and fights out of Europe Top Team.

“The Huntingdon Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz, will take on the undefeated Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida.

Another former light-heavyweight champion will also be on display when Tito Ortiz takes to The Octagon against undefeated Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida, a Brazilian fighting out of the same camp as Anderson Silva and the styles are comparable.

UFC 84 fight Results & Winners

In the main event of UFC 84: Ill Will on Saturday night in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, B.J. Penn retained his UFC Lightweight Title by defeating former champion Shawn Sherk.

The fight was stopped by the referee after three complete rounds, ending with Penn (14-4-1) knocking Sherk (36-3-1) down and nearly out with a flying knee, followed by a barrage of punches on the mat. It appeared Sherk was saved by the bell, but the ref called the fight off anyway. Sherk didn't dispute the decision.

This highly anticipated fight didn't quite live up to the billing. The former champ Sherk, who had been stripped of his title late last year after failing a steroid test, endured taunts from the fans who twice started chants of "steroids, steroids." Shrek was unable to take Penn to the mat despite an attempt in the early seconds. For the rest of the three five-minute rounds, Penn capitalized on his reach advantage by landing a much higher percentage of punches than Sherk. Sherk's face showed it too, with cuts under
both eyes and swelling on his face. Penn finished the fight without a scratch.
