There is a good article about the upcoming match between Hawaii's B.J. Penn and Georges St. Pierre at:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/josh_gross/01/29/bj-penn/index.html
The article also discusses Hawaii's Henry Seishiro Okazaki, who also had a famous bout with a boxer in Hilo, Hawaii, in the 1920's. Hilo was well-known for its Ju Jitsu experts from the 1880's.
I hope that both fighters are safe and do their best.
Go B.J.!
Respectfully,
