UFC President Dana White reaffirms his plan during the UFC 101 post-fight press conference to bring surging lightweight Diego Sanchez into a championship bout against current 155-pound kingpin BJ Penn later this year or perhaps early 2010. "Nightmare" earned his shot after dropping to lightweight and outpointing Joe Stevenson and Clay Guida, effectively vaulting himself to the top of the number one contender list -- which may have also been helped by his 8-2 record in the welterweight division. He'll have his toughest test to date against "The Prodigy," who submitted Kenny Florian at UFC 101 on August 8 to solidify himself as the best lightweight in the UFC -- and perhaps the world.
