More Bouts Now Official for UFC 101
Date submitted: 05 May 2009

While an anticipated main event between UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn and challenger Kenny Florian has not yet been made official, seven other bouts were announced by the organization today.
 
In addition to several previously reported matchups, the UFC also announced a middleweight contest between Ricardo Almeida vs Kendall Grove and a lightweight showdown between Rob Emerson and George Sotiropoulus.
 
UFC 101 takes place Aug. 8 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.
 
Almeida is looking to build off a unanimous decision win over Matt Horwich at UFC: Ultimate Fight Night 18 - Condit vs Kampmann in April. The six-time UFC veteran had dropped a split decision to Patrick Cote in July 2008, snapping a seven-fight win streak.
 
Grove, "The Ultimate Fighter 3" champion, is currently riding a two-fight win streak. After suffering back-to-back losses to Jorge Rivera and Patrick Cote, Grove has bounced back with consecutive wins over Jason Day and Evan Tanner.
 
Emerson looks to rebound from a February submission loss to Kurt Pellegrino. The "TUF 5" cast member had been undefeated in his past six official contests.
 
Sotiropoulos will be fighting for the first time since an April 2008 TKO win over Roman Mitichyan. Injuries have kept the Australian out of action since the win. The 31-year-old has won six of his past seven contests, with his sole loss coming in a 2006 disqualification against current WAMMA lightweight champion Shinya Aoki.
