Firstly dont forget the upcoming UFC event UFC 97 on Saturday night/Sunday morning on Setanta Sports 2 from 03.00 Sky channel 424. For full card info check out my UFC 97 preview article

UFC 102 has two new bouts
Heavyweight battle – highly rated Junior Dos Santos VS. Justin McCully. McCully is a wrestling specialist and is 2 and 1 in he UFC. Whereas Dos Santos starting his short UFC career at UFC 90, he has already beaten Fabricio Werdum and distroyed Stephan Struve at UFC 95.

Light heavyweight bout Matt Hamill vs. Brandon Vera has been moved from UFC 101. No tellings why yet, but this one is definitely one I am looking forward to. Brandon Vera looks to revenge the brutual KO of team mate Mark Munoz at UFC 96.

1. Anderson Silva
