Gate: $4,290,000 UFC 94 featured arguably what is still the most anticipated rematch of all time as Georges St-Pierre the welterweight champion defended his belt against B.J. Penn, a man who was still the active lightweight champion. The two fighters would meet as champions after being involved in a nail-bitingly close title-eliminator fight at UFC 58 which St-Pierre narrowly won via split-decision. In their rematch at UFC 94, MMA fans generally believed that B.J. Penn had the technical striking to beat St-Pierre standing while Georges would have the wrestling and cardio edge to outwork the Hawaiian. On the night, GSPs superior work rate allowed him to stifle the offence of the lightweight champion which would also ware down Penns lacklustre cardio. At the end of the fourth round, the notoriously tough B.J. had sustained a huge amount of damage and he was forced to admit defeat GSP had been victorious in the superfight.
