UFC 107 picks, Vegas style: Penn could make 'Nightmare' lose sleep

[Clark Kent]

12-09-2009 06:10 PM:Finally another title is on the line at a UFC pay-per-view. Because of injuries, the UFC belts have been tied up and we've been denied five round fights. B.J. Penn steps back into the Octagon this Saturday at UFC 107 with a growing reputation of invincibility. Diego Sanchez is a tremendous fighter but does he do anything better than "The Prodigy?" Frank Mir starts his comeback trail against Cheick Kongo after losing at UFC 100 to Brock Lesnar. Kenny Florian and Clay Guida faceoff hoping to get back in the hunt for Penn's belt.

Watch Cagewriter breakdown the top three fights with Ben Fowlkes from Cage Potato and Dave Farra from RawVegas.tv:
