Penn-Stevenson For Official UFC Lightweight Title Now
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 5:36 pm
UFC president Dana White had already booked B.J. Penn vs. Joe Stevenson for the interim championship on Jan. 19 in Newcastle, England. Had Sherk been cleared, he would have faced the winner at the earliest possible date. Now the Penn-Stevenson winner would be the outright champion. It has not been confirmed whether Sherk would still get the first shot at the winner.
