May 1, 2009 · Posted in MMA, Sport, UFC

The hype and rumours have been going for a few months since the grease gate scandal, now it is official lightweight title is on the line at UFC 101.

UFC 101 has already had another fight announced which is middleweight champion Anderson Silva stepping up in weight against Forrest Griffin, dedicated post can be read here

Champion BJ Penn takes on Kenny KenFlo Florian in the first UFC event in Philadelphia.
BJ Penn comes off his “loss” to GSP after grease gate for the welterweight division title but has defended his title recently against Jens Pulver, made Joe Stevenson tap and dominating win over Sean Sherk.

Kenny Florian comes off an impressive 6 fight win streak including good wins over Roger Huerta, Joe Lauzon and Joe Stevenson. Kenny Florian in preperation has trained with GSP and Greg Jackson and will no doubt have a more technical outlook to beat BJ.

For me I can only see one outcome, BJ Penn either knocking out Florian with a big right hand or putting him to sleep. BJ Penn does seem to have the lightweight division wrapped up and maybe another fighter that has to step up a division to get his true test.
