Pulver at UFC, bjpenn.com goes down

BJ Penn ended the UFC fight against Pulver with a rear naked
choke at 3 minutes and 12 seconds of the second round. The

the vigorous training and his desire to settle the score. Jens
Pulver and BJ Penn have never gotten along, and took turns
hurling insults at each other prior to the fight.

Finale were on BJ Penn with -350, Pulver held odds of +275,
according to
Bodog Sports.

thinking, go to bjpenn.com." But it was only minutes after he
left the ring that the web site went down.
