UFC 100: Card Finalized (Logo Photoshopped)Ultimate Fighting Championship officials confirmed five more bouts in addition to the three they most recently announced for the event, including a main-card bout which tests a UFC’s new addition right away.

Yoshihiro Akiyama, by pitting him against middleweight veteran Alan Belcher. Welcome to the UFC, buddy.

The historic UFC 100 will take place live on Pay-Per-View, July 11th from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Although the following bouts have all been announced as taking place in the preliminary card, these exciting match-ups announced today so far include:

Jon Jones vs. Jake O'Brien
Jonathan Goulet vs. Dong Hyun Kim
C.B. Dollaway vs. Tom Lawlor
Matt Grice vs. Shannon Gugerty

It had previously been reported by several sites that UFC 100 would feature a title defense by all belt-holders, which unfortunately will not be the case. However, the main card will still feature two huge title fights, a rematch between UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir with Vegas odds situating Lesnar as a landslide favorite, and UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre giving Thiago Alves a bold, yet much deserved shot at his title.

"The Ultimate Fighter 9" coaches Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson will also fight at UFC 100, foregoing the typical wait until the end of the season and the customary fight at the Finale show to get down now. Also, as announced on this past Wednesday's episode of "The Ultimate Fighter," Stephan Bonnar will take on former UFC Tournament winner, UFC Heavyweight Champion and UFC legend, Mark “The Hammer” Coleman.

UFC heavyweight legend Mark “The Hammer” Coleman (15-9) and Ultimate Fighter Season One runner-up Stephan “The American Psycho” Bonnar (11-5) have both put up historic performances in their own rights. Neither fighter’s record immediately jumps out at you. Both fighters have their own sets of impedances and shortcomings. One fighter in this match-up definitively needs a win more than the other, and Bonnar looks to uphold the reason why Dana gave him a contract, with Coleman merely looking to make a statement by competing at the age of 44 as a heavyweight in the UFC.

Though Yoshihiro Akiyama (12-1) makes his UFC debut with this bout, he’s somehow managed to be regarded by many fans as one of the world's top ten or top fifteen middleweights without fighting in the world’s most stacked of Middleweight divisions. The UFC’s middleweight division is renowned historically as the ground upon which Japanese fighters tread to meet their end at the hands of a bigger, stronger American wrestler, and Alan Belcher (14-5) is hoping to help Akiyama see things the same way as fighters like Hayato Sakurai and Caol Uno once did.

Since July of 2005, Akiyama is on an 11-0-2 run. Meanwhile, Belcher’s been busy with some business of his own, ruining the long-awaited UFC debut of international martial arts athlete Denis Kang to go 4-1 in his past five fights.

Jon Jones (8-0), is another fighter on a tear, displaying notable conditioning in his back-to-back decision wins over Andre Gusmao at UFC 87 and Stephan Bonnar at UFC 94. Jones is a 21-year-old former JUCO National Wrestling Champion and dimensional in the sense that his striking game is strangely entertaining and agile for a wrestler. He meets Jake O'Brien (11-2), a former heavyweight who made the drop to 205 pounds and defeated Christian Wellisch via split decision in January at UFC 94.

I’ve been waiting for a long time for Georges St. Pierre’s friend, Jonathan Goulet (22-10) to do more than just be GSP’s friend, and against Judo artist Dong Hyun Kim (11-0-1), if you ask me, he has the chance to do that. Dong damn near beat Karo Parisyan at January's UFC 94, and may very well have had it not been for just a few decisive moments in that fight. The fight’s outcome was recently overturned to a no-contest, due to Parisyan's failed UFC 94 drug test for multiple painkillers.

Goulet’s most recent UFC outing saw Mike Swick KO him hin 33 seconds last December.

Ultimate Fighter Season Seven runner-up C.B. Dollaway (8-1) and Ultimate Fighter Season Eight contestant Tom Lawlor (5-1) meet to determine which Ultimate Fighter cast member is going to get their third consecutive MMA win, following Lawlor’s successful MMA debut, a unanimous decision win over Kyle Kingsbury at the Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale.

Truth be told, I think I’d like C.B. more if he didn’t have a Pac-Man mouth. I hate to be biased, but I can see how other fighters would find it to be a ripe target for their punches. Although he may very well win here, I hope Lawlor hits him there once or twice before he does.

Rounding out the matches recently added to the undercard of UFC 100, Matt Grice (9-2) and Shannon Gugerty (11-3) both have lost recently in the UFC, and the one who loses here is probably looking forward to leaving as a result. UFC newbie Matt Veach put an aggressively-contested TKO loss down on Grice’s record at UFC Fight Night 17 in February, where Gugerty withstood a submission loss to Spencer Fisher at UFC 90 in October of 2008, snapping an eight-fight win streak.
