UFC 101
Date – August 8th 2009
Arena – Wachovia Center, PA, America
After the lacklustre performance at UFC 97 and the boo’s from the Canadian crowd, Dana White UFC president has revealed that he will push middleweight champion up a division to light heavyweight again.
Dana and Anderson must mean business as Anderson will fight former lightweight champion Forrest Griffin. Griffin held the belt for one fight until he lost to current belt holder Rashad Evans. Griffin defeated Quinton Rampage Jackson at UFC 86 last July, he held the belt until UFC 92 at the end of 2008.
Anderson Silva is 9 unbeaten in the UFC and held the middleweight belt for a record breaking 7 fights.
This will be a real gem, this could propel Forrest Griffin to a title shot or could really make Anderson Silva the best shot for a light heavyweight and middleweight champion.
Personally I think The Spider will knock out Forrest early in the first, as James Irvin found out mid July 2008.
