If you're looking for something to do on Friday, you can't go wrong with Friday Night Fights, whose latest installment of Muay Thai goodness should include an eight-man tournament, funky Thai music and a brand of beer you've never heard of.

Ode to BJ Penn
UFC
Fun fact: I saw BJ Penn's first seven MMA fights live and in person.

Prior to that, he was "just" some highly-touted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu phenom with a ton of hype behind him.
The hype was justified, obviously. He put away a scrub named Joey Gilbert that night at UFC 31, got voted by online fans to be the co-main event for UFC 32 (yeah, that was a thing), and went on to crush Din Thomas and Caol Uno before going the distance against champ Jens Pulver.
