The welterweight bout was part of today’s UFC 161 event at MTS Centre in Winnipeg. It aired on FX after additional prelims on Facebook and ahead of a pay-per-view main card. Robertson lunged forward for takedowns from the opening bell, but Pierson snuffed out the early shots and looked to counter with punches. Robertson’s continued efforts were briefly rewarded with a takedown, but Pierson quickly escaped back to his feet and continued to defend well with each subsequent shot. While Pierson suffered a small cut under his right eye during the striking exchanges, he ended the opening round with a few heavy combinations. Pierson opened up on the feet in the second frame, and Robertson’s aggressive takedown attack all but disappeared.

UFC Tonight reports that “the door is still open” for Penn to “return to MMA in the near future.” In fact, the 34-year-old Hawaiian is currently in training to assess whether or not he is “mentally and physically prepared to get back into this sport.” Penn has bounced around weight classes throughout his career, but if he returns to fighting, it will be in the lightweight division. Penn (16-9-2) made his professional mixed martial arts debut in the UFC on May 4, 2001, at UFC 31.  He fought in the inaugural UFC lightweight title fight at UFC 41 against Jens Pulver , losing by majority decision. In his welterweight debut, he defeated former champion Matt Hughes at UFC 46.  He was later stripped of the title for accepting fights outside of the UFC. He returned to the UFC in an unsuccessful run in the 170-pound division before dropping back down to the lightweight division, capturing the title and defending it twice. While holding the lightweight belt, Penn moved back up to the welterweight division for a rematch with Georges St-Pierre .  He was soundly defeated, unlike in their first meeting at UFC 58.
