UFC 101 Is Taking Shape Nicely

by Kelvin Hunt on May 4, 2009 10:28 PM EDT in News

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!

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.
