Vitor's sisters is under a "missing persons" status, as she hasn't been seen since Jan. 9, I believe. I don't have any other details.
I think the penn/hughes fight could very well be a mostly stand-up affair, as Penn is notoriously hard to take down, and Penn has said in an interview that he intends to keep it standing. It's a pretty good strategy, considering his opponent is slam-meister hughes. There's a good chance BJ will play counter, hoping to have hughes commit and make a mistake. But I have a gut feeling that bj will go on the offensive, hoping to surprise his much stronger opponent with his aggressiveness.
Couture has the edge on Vitor, but I think it's going to be a pretty close fight, as Vitor has submissions on the ground, and it might make couture tentative on offense once they go to the ground.
Either way, I can't wait for tomorrow's matches!
