When ever a team or individual becomes a champion or champions of their sports there is added pressure to perform. Most athletes want to keep their title, belt or status. This is definately true for the light weight UFC champion BJ Penn. He is going for his third title defense against Diego Sanchez on Saturday. This fight is extremely hyped up and should be a good one. Diego has not lost a fight since 2007 and is ramped up and ready to go, but BJ has his own agenda and is the top ranked fighter at 155 in the world. I am rooting for BJ because he is a humble guy and is the best MMA fighter at Brazilian jujitsu. I wonder if the pressure of being the best in the world is taking a toll on his training and his drive to win. Either way I hope the best fighter wins and that the pressure does not get to BJ.
