PHILADELPHIA -- Anderson Silva walked into UFC 101 surrounded by boos, a goat, and left bathed in adulation, the G.O.A.T., or at least something close.

Needing a highlight-reel worthy performance to quiet the sudden doubts emanating from two straight lackluster performances, Silva -- fighting for only the second time at 205 pounds -- toyed with former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin before putting him away with a stunning short right in just 3:23 of the first round.

After winning The Ultimate Fighter, Amir Sadollah had to wait more than a year to get back into the Octagon. He finally got that chance Saturday night at UFC 101, and he lasted just half a minute before losing a TKO to Johny Hendricks.

But it was a controversial TKO, as referee Dan Miragliotta pulled Hendricks of Sadollah even though Sadollah appeared to be intelligently defending himself.

PHILADELPHIA -- Forty-five minutes before the UFC 101 weigh-ins were scheduled to begin, BJ Penn stuck his head out from behind the curtain that separates fighters from fans. Penn looked around, and fans sitting in the arena listening to a Dana White question-and-answer session slowly began noticing him.

PHILADELPHIA – It's been over a year since Amir Sadollah beat CB Dollaway to capture The Ultimate Fighter's season seven championship and earn a UFC contract. But since then the world's most popular 1-0 fighter has been snakebit, suffering back-to-back setbacks during two separate training camps that forced him to pull out of scheduled bouts.

Finally healthy after a staph infection and a broken clavicle, Sadollah returns to the octagon on one of the featured bouts of UFC 101, taking on former two-time NCAA wrestling champion Johny Hendricks. Not surprisingly, the 28-year-old is feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve, anxious to finally reach a highly anticipated day.

"I'm trying to control the excitement as best I can and stay focused," he told FanHouse. "I've got to try to save the excitement for when the cage door shuts and I'm ready to fight."
