The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale winner is BJ Penn over Jens Pulver in the Pearl at the Palms Las Vegas on June 23, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada real estate.
BJ Penn knocked Jens Pulver off balance with his first punch, and then a take down moments later. This didn’t play good for “Little Evil” early in the mixed martial arts fight. Pulver does well with his defense standing back up, but Penn takes him right back down. Penn passes Pulver’s mounts. Penn tries an armbar and spinning Pulver gets away. Penn uses a triangle but Pulver escapes. Pulver is in Penn’s guard and pushes up against the cage in the Octagon. Pulver uses an elbow and Penn brings the mma fight back to standing position. Penn is likely to be the winner for the first round on the scorecards.

UFC 63 Ultimate Fighting Championship Winner Hughes Beats Penn In Three Rounds. Matt Hughes, who survived a poke in the eye, blood, and crippling submission attempts from the last man to beat him, BJ Penn, to stop ‘The Prodigy’ in the third round at the Arrowhead Pond tonight and extend his reign as the UFC welterweight champion.
Georges St. Pierre was replaced by BJ Penn in the UFC 63 main event, had submitted Hughes in their first bout in January of 2004, and after two rounds, it looked like Penn was going to repeat, but Hughes wouldn’t let him.
As soon as referee John McCarthy waved the mma UFC fighters into action, Hughes immediately tried a surprising high kick that missed. After that brief exchange, Hughes looked for the inevitable takedown, but Penn fought it off, instead being pushed into the fence where the two came to a stalemate. Once the two separated, Penn landed a big right hand, drawing blood from Hughes’s mouth and nose, but that didn’t stop the UFC champion, who kept looking to trade on the feet. Seconds later, Hughes inadvertently was poked in the right eye by Penn’s left hand and the bout was halted.
