Since I flawlessly predicted all the main card bouts for UFC 100, I figured I'd try it again for 101 and sully my record. Feel free to join in and/or ridicule me for not mentioning Brock Lesnar so far in this thread (does that count?). Main card Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn (c) vs. Kenny Florian - BJ just doesn't lose at 155. I think it will be close, however. How crazy would it be to see Florian vs. Sanchez at 155 though? Light Heavyweight bout: Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin - Hate to say it. I'd love to be wrong here. Middleweight bout: Kendall Grove vs. Ricardo Almeida - I never really felt Grove was going to be a big time player in the UFC. Maybe he'll prove me wrong. Lightweight bout: Josh Neer vs. Kurt Pellegrino - They both recently lost to Nate Diaz. Neer sucked less vs. him. Welterweight bout: Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks - Remember when TUF winners won fights after TUF? I think Amir could bring that back, along with shaving lines into the side of your head (I used to rock the lightning bolts when I was like 8). He's been out for a year, so he's gotta be chomping at the bit.

Okay, I got two wrong. I knew it was stupid to pick a recent TUF winner. At least I got the main event fights right. Lightweight bout: Josh Neer vs. Kurt Pellegrino Pellegrino defeated Neer via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). Middleweight bout: Kendall Grove vs. Ricardo Almeida Almeida defeated Grove via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). Welterweight bout: Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks Hendricks defeated Sadollah via TKO (strikes) at 0:29 of round 1. Light Heavyweight bout: Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin Silva defeated Griffin via KO (punch) at 3:23 of round 1. Lightweight Championship bout: BJ Penn (c) vs. Kenny Florian Penn defeated Florian via submission (rear naked choke) at 3:45 of round 4 to retain the UFC Lightweight Championship. Can't wait for Couture vs. Noguiera, even if the rest of the card sucks hard.
