Since the ancient days of gladiators, spectators have enjoyed the thrill of betting on combative sporting contests. Every moment of a fight seems much more exciting when there is money riding on the outcome. Today is no different, as a growing number of people are betting on modern-day gladiatorial contests - mixed martial arts events.

BJ Penn vs Jens Pulver II at TUF 5

It has taken over five years, but on Saturday, June 23 at 9:00pm BJ Penn finally gets his rematch. The Ultimate Fighter 5 coaches and former UFC champions, Penn (10-3-1) and Jens Pulver (21-6-1) step back into the Octagon together for a rematch nearly a half a decade in the making at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV.

When former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver defeated the seemingly invincible BJ Penn in 2002, at UFC 35, he shocked the world and proved that when it comes to the Octagon, nothing is impossible. Since then, Penn has plotted his revenge and BJ Penn has been dying for this rematch and he claims that Pulver has been ducking him all this time. It sounds like BJ is most bitter from the defeat. But on Saturday, June 23rd, these two 155-pound pioneers - who matched wits for six weeks as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 - square off in a rematch five years in the making and finally get the chance to settle their score with their fists when they battle in the main event on The Ultimate Fighting Championship organization and Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter 5 Season finale live from The Pearl at The Palms in Las Vegas.
