Before all the bone-crushing excitement begins at this Sunday's Super Bowl XLIII, MMA fans get to enjoy all the bone-crushing excitement of UFC 94.

Taking place this Saturday, January 31 at the Las Vegas MGM Grand and being broadcast on PPV, UFC 94 sees a headlining match between two champions--welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre and lightweight champ B.J. Penn.

True MMA fans will recognize that this is not the first time these two have stepped into the Octagon to face each other. This rematch comes about 3 years after Penn beat St. Pierre in 2006's UFC 58. And it comes with the highest of stakes, because if Penn wins, it will make him the first MMA fighter ever to hold two UFC titles at the same time.

Other notable matches taking place at UFC 94 include Lyoto Machida vs. Thiago Silva and Stephan Bonnar vs. Jon Jones.
