UFC 94 Lineup Finalized
Monday, January 12, 2009
by Sherdog.com Staff

The UFC recently announced the complete card for UFC 94, which takes place Jan. 31 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and features the rematch between welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and lightweight champion B.J. Penn.

Two light heavyweight bouts are guaranteed spots on the pay-per-view. One pits undefeated Brazilians Lyoto Machida and Thiago Silva against each other in a match with title shot implications. In the other, Stephan Bonnar, who has won two straight in the UFC since losing an August 2006 rematch to Forrest Griffin, will fight unbeaten prospect Jon Jones.

Also on the main card, Sherdog.com’s No. 9-ranked welterweight Karo Parisyan will return to the Octagon for the first time since he was stopped by Thiago Alves last April. He will meet the “Stun Gun,” Dong Hyun Kim.

A lightweight bout between Nathan Diaz and Clay Guida rounds out the main card.

Jon Fitch, Sherdog.com’s No. 3-ranked welterweight who went the distance with St. Pierre in an August title bout, will fight Akihiro Gono in a prelim.

Main Card:

Georges St. Pierre (No. 1 WW, No. 2 PFP) vs. B.J. Penn (No. 1 LW, No. 4 PFP)
