UFC Executive: “Nothing Has Changed” with UFC 80’s Penn-Stevenson Fight

Despite a reduction in UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk’s UFC 73 drug suspension and his ability to return to the octagon in January, a UFC 80 main event between B.J. Penn and Joe Stevenson will still be a five-round fight for the title of interim lightweight champion.

The way Sherk's situation was handled I don't think they would have had to take belt anyways. It may set the wrong example, but I still kind of belive that Sherk is honest and probably does NOT use steriods....they know him better than I though.

i thought news broke that it would NOT be for the interem, but for the legit title.
