BJ Penn will be facing off against Matt Hughes in the co-main event at UFC 123 tomorrow, November 20, 2010, at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan (outside of Detroit). It will be televised live on Pay-Per-View (PPV). This will be the rubber match as each fighter has one victory against each other. BJ was victorious with a rear-naked choke submission at UFC 46 in 2004 and lost by TKO at UFC 63 in 2006. BJ will be moving back up to welterweight (170 lbs) for this fight after fighting at lightweight (155 lbs) for the last few years. The lone exception was his fight against Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre at UFC 94 in early 2009.
