EA Sports held a press conference earlier today to discuss their upcoming EA Sports MMA video game. Randy Couture was there and discussed the game as well. They said that the game is in its second year of development and is scheduled to ship in 2010. They have playable code at this point, but are still working on the motion capture and many other gameplay related issues. Couture said he isn't a gamer, and that his son used to beat him at GoldenEye (an old game for the Nintendo 64 system). EA said that their discussions with UFC about the game took place over 2 years ago and now there are different people in charge at EA. They said there will be no quota for the number of fighters but they are looking to capture many geographical areas. They believe the game can help to get the sport larger. They will alternate the MMA game with their Fight Night boxing series, releasing each title once every two years. They haven't decided on whether the fights will take place in a ring, cage or both. Fedor Emelianenko is not confirmed as the cover athlete, and they haven't decided on that yet. Jay Hieron, Gegard Mousasi and Babalu Sobral are in the game.

Dana White again put over Anderson Silva as the best pound for pound fighter in the world.

Dana explained Forrest leaving by saying Forrest is emotional and that he hasn't seen Forrest since.

Anderson said Forrest came to fight while Thales Leites didn't, and that was the difference in the two fights.

B.J. said his gameplan was to take away Florian's kicks and go elbow for elbow.

Anderson asked about Roy Jones Jr gives a knowing shrug. Dana White says he doesn't want that fight to be made. He says he doesn't see the point.

Dana said Anderson's next fight will be against Dan Henderson.

Submission of the night BJ Penn. KO of the night Anderson Silva. Fight of the night Forrest Griffin vs. Anderson Silva. $60,000 bonuses.

Anderson said Lyoto Machida is his friend and brother and there is no way that fight will ever happen.

Dana said Diego Sanchez is the next opponent for B.J. Penn in all likelihood.

B.J. said that J.D. (his brother) suggested he take down Florian in the fourth round and so he went ahead and did that to finish him.

Dana White said that Thales Leites is fine with UFC in spite of the performance. He also said that he thought the Hendricks/Sadollah stoppage was a bad one.

B.J. said he was surprised that Florian tried to push him against the cage and wrestle with him because that isn't really Florian's game, but that he knew Florian trained with GSP and that's evidently what he decided. B.J. said he didn't think this was a good strategy.

Ed Soares said a fan flipped off Anderson Silva after the fight and threw something at Silva and that's why Soares went after the fan.

Anderson Silva said he knows some people are going to diminish Griffin after the fight but that he's a good opponent who came to fight and should be given credit.

Almeida said he felt too light and a size difference and that he got tired, but he showed wrestling that he hasn't shown before and he's happy with his performance. He said he might want to fight at 170 pounds.

Pellegrino said Neer kept calling him names throughout the fight and that at one point he slapped Neer in response to an insult.

Dana specifically said Tito Ortiz will be fighting Mark Coleman, a fight that had been mentioned before.

Dana said they may have another show in October not on PPV, so that's clearly teasing a network TV deal. Just from a scheduling standpoint that may not be a good idea as they already have a very heavy fight schedule October through January.

Dana said they are looking at running their first Boston show in Fenway Park.

Dana said, in response to a story about merging UFC and WEC, that he simply said that he has thought about it, nothing more.

As Florian throws a kick that's blocked, Penn counters with a straight punch that staggers Florian. Penn follows with punches but Florian gets out of trouble. They clinch and separate. Florian is bouncing on the outside and Penn moving forward with power shots, kind of reminiscent of Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson. They clinch again and work dirty boxing. They separate, and Florian looks for a takedown. Penn defends well. Florian with a nice leg kick and now Florian is moving forward. He shoots for a single leg and throws a knee in the process. Penn lands a nice hook and moves in with a flying knee like his fight with Sean Sherk. 10-9 Penn.

Round 2. Florian with a pair of low kicks early. He then pushes Penn against the cage. He throws a few punches and looks for the takedown. Penn defends and moves away. Florian shoots again but Penn defends without too much trouble. The big question is whether this clinching and pressure for the takedown is going to weaken Penn's cardio.

Penn lands a nice uppercut and moves in with a flurry of punches that miss. Florian with a high kick that is blocked. Florian with a low kick and nice jab as the round comes to an end.

Round 3. Florian with a low kick and high kick, neither of which lands. Florian moves in with a punch and Penn throws a power shot that misses in response. Florian clinches and pushes Penn against the cage again. If this strategy is going to work, now is about the time Florian needs to start seeing results. Penn is defending nicely. Florian lands a hook and ducks out. Penn with a series of hooks but not much lands. Florian with a leg kick that misses. Florian again goes for a takedown. Penn blocks and then moves forward with a diving punch that misses. Florian again pushes Penn against the cage. The crowd is getting impatient. Penn avoids, moves to the inside of the cage, and throws a series of hooks. That's really the only strike he's using. Florian with a nice superman punch at the end of the round. Another really close round. I'll give it to Penn 10-9.

Round 4. Penn again throws some hooks that miss. Florian responds with a knee that's blocked. Florian again pushes Penn against the cage. Penn gets out, and decides to take down Florian himself. He looks to gain side control as the crowd chants "BJ". Penn lands some elbows from the top and follows with punches. He can't get out of the half guard, however. Florian's eyes look irritated. Penn gains mount and secures Florian's back with a minute and 40 seconds left. Penn sinks his arm under the chin and Florian taps out to the rear naked choke.

Winner: B.J. Penn, Round 4, Rear Naked Choke Submission
