UFC 101 Is Taking Shape Nicely

The east coast fans will finally be treated to a decent card it appears, as the UFC will make their initial visit to Philadelphia’s Wachovia Center on August 8th.  The following fights were announced via UFC.com:

  • BJ Penn vs. Kenny Florian
  • Forrest Griffin vs. Anderson Silva
  • Ricardo Almeida vs. Kendall Grove
  • Kurt Pellegrino vs. Josh Neer
  • Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks
  • Tamdan McCrory vs. John Howard
  • Matt Riddle vs. Dan Cramer
  • George Sotiropoulos vs Rob Emerson
  • Jesse Lennox vs Danillo Villefort

I wish I could make it to this one.  Are any of you guys or gals planning on making the trip to Philly?

That is a very strong lineup. Good to see Sotiropoulos back, too.

I'm going!

I joined the UFC Fight Club for the sole purpose of having first dibs on tickets to this thing. It’s going to rock my socks for sure!

I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

This is a good one.

Yeah, it’s nice to see Aussie George back…hope he can avoid injuries and go on a nice run. He’s talented and has a good camp. George via sub, round 1.
