Report: B.J.Penn vs Diego Sanchez at UFC 74:Couture vs Gonzaga
Despite earlier reports that B.J.Penn would be receiving a title fight against the winner of Sean Sherk/Hermes Franca, Penn is now set to take on Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez who was reportedly set to face Hayato "Mach" Sakurai.

Quentin "Rampage" Jackson vs Dan "Hollywood" Henderson has conflicting reports as to which title will be on the line. Some sources claim Dana White is quoted as saying no title will be on the line to respect the belts but others say Rampage's title, because the fight will be in a UFC main event, will be up for grabs.

Gina Cerrano (4-0) of EliteXC fame is reportedly facing Erin Toughill in her next fight. Cerrano has trouble making the lighter weight she has recently been competing in so is moving back up to challenge one of the elite female fighters in the world. Toughill (7-2) is best known for challenging boxing queen Laila Ali. Many believed Toughill would be the one to finally defeat Ali, daughter of Mohammed Ali, but Laila proved to be the best at what she does winning by TKO in the 3rd round.

Ive read that its being quoted that Dana said NEITHER title will be up for grabs in teh Rampage vs Henderson fight

That sucks, one of the things I disliked about pride was when they had Nontitle matches with champions (outside of tournaments, in a tournament i think its ok for a champ to not defend his title because the prize is the tournament title)

yup...
