As we previously wrote about UFC 97 was having some problems and may be moved or cancelled.
According to CorrusSports the show is not being moved and will remain at the Bell Centre. This comes as a sigh of relief as a move or cancellation of this event couldve resulted in UFC 100 being moved out to a later date.
The UFC 97 card has been finalized and the two larger matchups are Mauricio Shogun Rua against Chuck the Iceman Liddell and Anderson Silva defending his Middleweight Title against Thales Leites. …

Strike two fighters out of the UFC 100 matchup pool as today it has been confirmed that Caol Uno is making his comeback into the UFC to face Spencer Fisher at UFC 99.
Who is Caol Uno? He is the man who famously fought BJ Penn to a draw for the Lightweight Title that caused UFC management to dissolve the division for 3 years. He is also the guy BJ Penn constantly refers too on his highlight reels as one of his best knockouts.

I am personally glad to see …

Now we don’t know all the matchups for UFC 100 beyond the main event of Georges St-Pierre versus Thiago Alves, but to get amped up at the potential matchups I thought a nice video compilation of all the UFC Undisputed Video Game footage by THQ I could find would be fun.
First up Georges St-Pierre versus BJ Penn without the UFC 94 grease gate controversy.

Also we have Dan Henderson will look to be fighting against Michael Bisping at UFC 100.  So in honor of that here is Dan Henderson demolishing Rich …

In gearing up for UFC 100 on July 11th where Georges St-Pierre will meet his toughest test in Thiago Alves I think it is time we examine where Thiago came from and what wins have lead him to be the Number 1 contender in the UFC Welterweight Division.
Thiago on fight night will come into the ring at 190 to 199 pounds.  Now you may wonder how in the hell can he fight at the 170 pound division but come in the night of the fight at 199 pounds.  Well Thiago …

Not exactly earth-shattering news at this point, but for the first time news about current UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre defending his belt against Thiago Alves at UFC 100 is coming from the mouth of the big man himself, Dana White, president of the UFC.  Here’s what he told Montreal-based CKAC Sports 730AM:
“I’m pretty confident that UFC 100 will have Georges St. Pierre on the card.  UFC 100 will more than likely have Georges St. Pierre defending his welterweight title.”
Accoding to MMA Weekly, White also confirmed that the promotion’s 100th …

As reported yesterday, UFC 97 set for April in Montreal, Canada has hit a major snag.  According to the Quebec Athletic Commission, the event cannot go on unless the UFC accepts some significant rule changes, most notably doing away with elbows and knees, fighting in a smaller octagon, and stopping the fight whenever a fighter falls to the ground.  Needless to say, that’s the kind of news that will cause Dana to set all kinds of F-bomb records.
So what’s the UFC to do?  There have been talks about cancellation, and …

“Oh, man. Holy s**t. I’ve told everybody, when people asked me before the B.J. fight, ‘I can’t even think about UFC 100 right now.’ Now we’ve sat down and we’ve talked about it, and I’m guaranteeing you now, UFC 100 is going to kick f**king ass.”

Expectations couldn’t be higher for UFC’s centennial event, thanks to the legions of rumors already swirling the event still five months away.  Some of the rumored matchups appear to be virtual locks (see Georges St-Pierre v. Thiago Alves), …

The Mandalay Event Center is located in the Mandalay Bay Casino.  Its in the heart of Las Vegas on the strip and will play host to UFC 100.
The arena itself seats 12,000 individuals along with the Octagon, Dana White, Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg.  This will be the first time the UFC has been at the Mandalay Bay Event Center since UFC 86 when Forrest Griffin beat Quinton “Rampage” Jackson for the UFC lightheavyweight belt.

Recently on the Sherdog radio show Thiago Alves indictated that he would in fact face Georges “Rush” St-Pierre or GSP as most people call him.  To me this is a pretty dangerous fight for Georges early.  Thiago Alves will come into UFC 100 weighing somewhere around 195 pounds and posses plenty of ammunition to be troubling for Georges if he can not get the takedowns going early.

We will keep you posted on the matchups for UFC 100 as they come in.
