<p>The lightweight bout between Kenny Florian and Clay Guida that was originally scheduled for UFC 106 in November has been moved to UFC 107 on December 12 in Memphis, TN.  This news comes on the heels of the announcement that the BJ Penn vs. Diego Sanchez bout <a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/11471/bj-penn-vs-diego-sanchez-now-slated-for-ufc-107-on-december-12-in-memphis/">was moved</a> to this event, as well as the <a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/11477/quinton-rampage-jackson-lands-a-team-role-wont-fight-rashad-evans-at-ufc-107/">postponement</a> of the scheduled Rashad Evans vs. Quinton &#8220;Rampage&#8221; Jackson bout to a later event.  This story was originally reported via the <a href="http://twitter.com/ESPN_MMALIVE/status/3868581449">MMALive Twitter</a> page, and later confirmed by Kenny Florian on <a href="http://twitter.com/Kenny_Florian">his Twitter</a> page.</p>
<p>Florian was last in action at UFC 101 on August 8th where he suffered a loss to BJ Penn in his second shot at the UFC lightweight title.  Prior to the bout Florian experienced a nearly nine month layoff after earning the title shot with a victory over Joe Stevenson, while he waited for Penn to face Georges St. Pierre, and recover from that fight.  Florian had earned the title shot by putting together a six fight win streak following his loss to Sean Sherk in his first title fight, including victories over Roger Huerta and Joe Lauzon.</p>
<p>Guida will also be looking to bounce back from defeat against Florian after losing via unanimous decision to Diego Sanchez in a &#8220;fight of the year&#8221; candidate bout at The Ultimate Fighter: US vs. UK finale in June.  Prior to the loss Guida had put together three straight victories over the likes of Nate Diaz and Mac Danzig.  This bout will mark Guida&#8217;s fourth consecutive bout against a &#8220;The Ultimate Fighter&#8221; alum, though Florian will be the first non-winner he has faced.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mmafrenzy.com/files/2009/02/bj-penn.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9274" title="BJ Penn" src="http://mmafrenzy.com/files/2009/02/bj-penn-250x166.jpg" alt="BJ Penn" width="250" height="166" /></a>UFC lightweight champion <strong>BJ Penn</strong> (pictured) retained his title on Saturday in the main event of UFC 101, submitting <strong>Kenny Florian</strong> in the fourth-round of their championship headliner to cap off the pay-per-view event, which took place at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>After stunning Florian several times over the first three rounds and stifling the challenger&#8217;s takedown attempts, Penn got a takedown of his own before taking Florian&#8217;s back. After softening him with kicks to the body, Penn secured a rear naked choke and Florian was forced to submit 3:54 into the fourth frame.</p>
<p>Penn (14-5-1) rebounds from a January welterweight loss to champion Georges St-Pierre by winning his fourth-straight fight at 155-pounds, while the loss for Florian (11-4), his first in nearly three-years, snaps a six-fight winning streak.</p>
<p>In the UFC 101 co-headliner, UFC middleweight champ <strong>Anderson Silva</strong> returned to the light heavyweight division and silenced his critics, following up back-to-back lackluster wins with a first-round knckout of former 205-pound champ <strong>Forrest Griffin</strong>.</p>
<p>After an aggressive start by Griffin that saw him miss with a head kick attempt, Silva tagged Forrest with punches, sending him to the canvas twice, and taunted him to attack, leaving his hands at his waist. As Griffin again pressed forward Silva backpeddled, but connected with a compact right that sent Forrest to the canvas for a third and final time as the referee immediately stepped in and stopped the fight.</p>
<p>Knocked unconscious by the awkward-yet-powerful punch, Griffin quickly returned to his feet and ran out of the Octagon while Silva celebrated his return to form. &#8220;The Spider&#8221; (25-4) extends his win streak to 11-straight overall, including 10-straight UFC victories, while Griffin (16-6) has now lost two-straight.</p>
<p>In other main card action, <strong>Aaron Riley</strong>, <strong>Ricardo Almeida</strong>, and <strong>Kurt Pellegrino</strong> all picked up unanimous decision wins, while <strong>Johny Hendricks</strong> knocked out <strong>Amir Sadollah</strong> in just 29-seconds in a controversial stoppage.</p>
<p>The complete results for UFC 101 were:</p>
<ul>
<li>B.J. Penn (c) def. Kenny Florian via submission (rear naked choke) — Round 4, 3:54<br />
UFC Lightweight Championship</li>
<li>Anderson Silva def. Forrest Griffin via KO (punch) — Round 1, 3:23</li>
<li>Aaron Riley def. Shane Nelson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)</li>
<li>Johny Hendricks def. Amir Sadollah via TKO (strikes) — Round 1, 0:29</li>
<li>Ricardo Almeida def. Kendall Grove via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)</li>
<li>Kurt Pellegrino def. Josh Neer via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)</li>
<li>John Howard def. Tamdan McCrory via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)</li>
<li>Alessio Sakara def. Thales Leites via split decision (29-28, 27-30, 29-28)</li>
<li>Matthew Riddle def. Dan Cramer via unanimous decision (29-27, 30-26, 30-27)</li>
<li>George Sotiropoulos def. George Roop via submission (kimura) — Round 2, 1:59</li>

<p>If you just can&#8217;t get enough of Dana White and some of the UFC stars, you may be interested to know that White will be appearing on today&#8217;s airing of the Dr. Phil show.   Alongside White will be UFC lightweight number one contender Kenny Florian and former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin.  The show was recorded last week, and <a href="http://mmajunkie.com/news/14806/dana-white-forrest-griffin-and-kenny-florian-on-dr-phil-on-may-14.mma">MMAJunki</a> first reported their appearance, and the air date (check local listings for actual air-time):</p>
<blockquote><p>The UFC contingent will apparently caution viewers (and the would-be fighters) about how real-life mixed martial artists prepare and train safely for their bouts. It&#8217;s also possible the trio will need to defend the sport to an audience likely to be unfamiliar with MMA.</p>
<p>White has previously appeared on the &#8220;Dr. Phil&#8221; show. Earlier this year, he was a special guest on the program and talked to a wife who was concerned about her husband&#8217;s aspirations of becoming an MMA fighter. White shared some statistics from the sport&#8217;s stellar safety record while also discussing the many precautions that are put in place to protect competitors.</p></blockquote>
<p>The episode has been titled &#8220;Dangerous Teen Trends&#8221; and will include a confrontation with some teenagers who participate in &#8220;teen fight clubs&#8221; in hopes that this will help them attain a future career in the UFC.  Other show topics include getting high on household products and online alternate lives.</p>
