UFC 107: "Penn vs. Sanchez" is set to take place this Saturday (Dec. 12) from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee. In preparation for this weekend's MMA extravaganza, the UFC will hold a pre-fight press conference featuring the major players from the event including B.J. Penn, Diego Sanchez, Frank Mir, Cheick Kongo and of course, UFC president Dana White.

The press conference will air LIVE right here on MMAmania.com at 1 p.m. ET.

"Penn vs. Sanchez" will feature a main event between lightweight division champion, BJ "The Prodigy" Penn, defending his title against number one division contender, Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez, filling in the hole left by "Sugar" Rashad Evans and Quinton Jackson after "Rampage" went Hollywood.

In the co-featured fight of the night, former two-time heavyweight champion Frank Mir will "begin his quest for a third title" when he takes on the hard-hitting Cheick Kongo. In addition, a lightweight showdown between former number one contender Kenny "KenFlo" Florian and Clay "The Carpenter" Guida is also on tap.

I'm back boys

I don’t know if you guys remember ja434650…the one who jumped on the Penn band wagon years before anyone gave him a chance and who has successfully called every fight since 2006.

This one’s obvious boys

Your right (did you call GSP's absolute destruction of BJ) then all thw whinning afterwards!

Diego is going to give BJ all he can handle, I wont be surprized if Diego wins this fight. Im not sure if BJ will be able to handle Diegos pace and conditioning. Should be a good fight, BJ bets be sharp for this one.

Pretty good stare down between Penn and Sanchez. I thought Diego’s head was going to explode.
LOL @ Mir getting that tequilla award. Is it for the biggest bloviating prick in mma or something?
