UFC is coming to Philadelphia for the first time on Saturday, August 8th, and its bringing the big guns to the Wachovia Center for UFC 101,
as BJ Penn defends his UFC lightweight crown for the second time against number one contender Kenny Florian.

The Challenger, Kenny 'Kenflo' Florian, is currently riding a six fight win streak inside the octagon. He has choked out Din Thomas, TKO’ed Joe Lauzon, beat up Roger Huerta via a unanimous decision victory links him, and spent one round tapping out newly crowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Joe “Daddy” Stevenson at UFC 91, all within a little links a year’s time. Florian’s three fights in 2008 made him one of the year’s most active American fighters, and comprised half of a win streak that started in April of 2007. With a title shot secured, Florian chose to wait patiently until Penn was ready to fight. Florian is on a six-fight win streak and his last loss was in a vacant title bout versus Sherk in 2006.

Also, co-main event featuring UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva against former light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin has been added to the card. The Griffin/Silva fight will be at 205 pounds, marking Silva’s second fight in the light heavweight division. His first was a KO victory links James Irwin.

Silva owns the longest consecutive win streak in UFC history at nine, also the UFC Middleweight Champion (24-4) has tied the UFC record for most consecutive successful title defenses at five, beating the likes of Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin, Patrick Cote, and Thales Leites along the way. The 34-year old native of Curitiba, Brazil is not satisfied yet, so he is moving up to the light heavyweight division once again.

Silva made his reputation in the UFC by roaring through competition, knocking out most of his foes violently. He destroyed Rich Franklin twice and also knocked out Nate Marquardt and submitted Dan Henderson. Don't forget to check back with us for our UFC 101 Picks and UFC 101 betting odds.
