UFC 84: Ill Will in Las Vegas, Nevada was a mixed martial arts event held by the UFC. The event, hosted by the MGM Grand Garden Arena was an eleven fight card featuring a lightweight championship match between BJ "the Prodigy" Penn and Sean" The Muscle Shark" Sherk. The fight has been no stranger to the hype machine as both Penn and Sherk have traded barbs regarding Sherk's recent steroid suspension and Penn's lack of cardio. The card also features what will likely be Tito Ortiz's last fight for the UFC after his very public feud with the president of the UFC, Dana White, centering around Ortiz's compensation.
