Irish Whip Fighting: Penn-Sanchez Update

About The Name

Many of our readers wonder why our name doesn't have "UFC" or "MMA" in it. We think that too many sites begin or end with those acronyms (one of the main reasons we're such good pals with Martial Base). Truth be told, IWF started as a wrestling and MMA site, and the "Irish Whip" is one of wrestling's most hard-hitting moves. We also thought that a "whip" could be another name for biting, on-point commentary, the same commentary we hope to provide here. The name stuck, we couldn't change, and well...we just like being different than all the rest. Providing quality insights, no more or less news than you need to know, and the absolute best interviews on the web (seriously, how do we get all those guys? -- Liddell, Henderson, Ken Shamrock twice each), we like to think we're doing a pretty good job.

Penn-Sanchez Update

OOPS! Says Sherdog.com, who earlier today stated that BJ Penn was set to face Diego Sanchez at UFC 74. Penn's camp denied the match-up against Sanchez, well, for August 22 at least.

Penn's camp said that the fight against Sanchez would not take place at UFC 74, which is scheduled for August 22. However, this doesn't completely rule out all hope of the two fighting in the future. Penn's camp also stated that many things are in discussion at the moment, even the possibility of Penn staying in the lightweight division.

Good God, these fickle reports are killing me, I'm on a doggone emotional roller coaster here.

Penn tells fans to stay tuned and check his website, www.BJPenn.com, for further news. I'll definitely keep you guys posted.
