The co-main event of UFC 100 features Georges St. Pierre defending his UFC Welterweight Championship against the most dangerous opponent possible in Thiago Alves. Georges St. Pierre is widely considered the best welterweight in the world, if not one of the best fighters in anyone's pound for pound listing, and Thiago Alves is a crushing striker who has torn through some of the very best in the division with ease. What we truly have on our hands is a much better bout than was St. Pierre vs. Penn from UFC 94, but obviously one without the mega marquee value of that particular fight.

Penn vs. St. Pierre came with gads of sizzle but delivered absolutely no steak for those wishing for an epic battle, as it was a one-sided beating from start to Penn's finish on his stool. B.J. Penn has all of the skills in the world but when two equally skilled fighters face off, it usually will come down to which of the two is bigger or stronger and St. Pierre was both on that night in January. Penn asserts that this victory was achieved due to the fact that St. Pierre was greased up like a low rent Chippendale, but there have been no further findings to back this up and no efforts at all to investigate the matter further and alter the decision of the bout.
