UFC President Dana White: Dublin is the best fight town on the planet!
BJPENN.COM News - October 25, 2015
Ultimate Fighting Championship made their long-awaited return to Dublin, Ireland this past weekend with “UFC Fight Night 76” and even though it wasn’t the most star-studded card they’ve ever seen, they acted rowdy and wild from beginning to end. The crowd in attendance were able to create an atmosphere that is impossible to replicate which led UFC President Dana White labeling Dublin “the best fight town”. While White himself could not relay the message to those in attendance at the post fight press conference, UFC representative James Elliot informed the media, “He said he wanted me to let everyone to know he’s traveled the world to all these shows and Dublin is without a doubt the best fight town on the planet.”

WWE Hell in a Cell Results: Lesnar takes Undertaker down in final matchup
BJPENN.COM News - October 25, 2015
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar made his return to the world of professional wrestling years in 2012 after he was forced out of mixed martial arts due to diverticulitis. The crippling disease forced Lesnar to fight nowhere near his full capabilities in the octagon and ultimately forced him out of the sport after Alistair Overeem brutally knocked him out with a body kick. Since returning to the squared circle, Lesnar has become more of a spectacle than your dime-a-dozen main event pro wrestler. Some view him as the final boss of a video game where he can take an unrealistic amount of punishment and remain unfazed, ready to dish out punishment of his own. The only person to bring him to the brink of defeat was future WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker.
