The Undercard for UFC 100 is the appetizer to the main card, with five fights and 10 exciting and hungry fighters to wet the appetite of fans for the main course.
Mark Coleman vs. Stephan Bonnar
Veteran Mark “The Hammer” Coleman returns to where it all began for him, inside the of the UFC octagon. Since losing his return debut to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 93, the 44 year old former UFC Heavyweight champion and Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Openweight Grand prix winner has been around the block facing names such as Fedor Elimlienko, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, Don Fry, Pedro Rizzo and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
In this Lightheavy weight bout Coleman takes on season 1 Ultimate Fighter runner up Stephan Bonner. Bonner was awarded a UFC contract after a show stopping performance in the Ultimate Fighter season one finale where he lost to Forrest Griffin by unanimous decision. Bonner holds wins over Keith Jardine, Sam Hodger, James Irvine, Mike Nickels and Eric Schafer. Walking into this match off a loss to Jon Jones at UFC 94, Bonner looks to put Coleman away and return to his winning ways.
Mac Danzig vs. Jim Miller
Ultimate Fighter season 6 winner Mac Danzig competes in this light weight bout. Danzig is 2-2 in his UFC career holding wins over Tommy Speer and Mark Boeck and losses to Clay Guida and Josh Neer whom he faced at UFC Fight Night 17. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu submission artist takes on fellow submission artist Jim Miller.
Miller made his octagon debut at UFC 89, where he defeated David Baron via Submission. Miller scored a decision victory over Matt Winman at UFC: Fight for the Troops, before losing to Gary Maynard at UFC 96. In what has all the making to be a grappling delight these two lightweights will help make history at UFC 100.
Jon Jones vs. Jake O'Brien
In another lightheavy weight bout. Unbeaten Jon Jones makes this third appearance in the octagon. Defeating Andre Gusmao in his debut at UFC 87 and Stephan Bonnar at UFC 94 both by decision he faces Jake O’Brien with his untainted record on the line.
With only two losses in his Ultimate Fighting Championship career at the hands of Andre Arlovski and Cain Velasquez, Jake O’Brien was able to redeemed himself at UFC 94 with a split decision victory over Christian Wellisch. Both Jones and O’Brien have finished the majority of their victories via TKO and this fight is no doubt going to be a stand up war.
CB Dollaway vs. Tom Lawlor
The Middleweight bout features The Ultimate Fighter season 7 competitor CB Dollaway. Dollaway lost season 7 after being submitted by Amir Sadollah. Since his defeat Dollaway holds a submission victory over Jesse Taylor at UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin and a TKO victory in his last bout in the octagon against Mike Massenzio.
Like many of the fighter in the UFC Tom Lawlor reigns from The Ultimate Fighter season 8, though he did not win the competition he was victorious in his match against Kyle Kingsbury at The Ultimate Fighter Finale 8 via unanimous decision. Making his second apperance in the octagon he will battle fellow ultimate fighter Bonner.
Matt Grice vs. Shannon Gugerty
Grice is 1-2 in the octagon. Grice made his debut at UFC 70: Nations Collide where he lost to a guillotine choke to Terry Etim. He returned at UFC 77: Hostel Territory against Jason Black where he squeezed out a split decision. Grice comes in off a TKO loss to Matt Veach at UFC Fight Night: Stevenson vs. Lauzon.
Facing Grice is Shannon Gugerty. Gugerty made his debut at UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin after submitting Dale Hartt in the first round. It was UFC 90 where the tables were turned, and Gugerty found himself on the other side of a Triangle Choke and was submitted by Spencer Fisher. Both fighters are coming in off losses and for one it will put them back on the winning side.
