On Thursday, the UFC confirmed that Yoshihiro Akiyama will make his long-awaited UFC debut against Alan Belcher, while 21-year old up Jon Jones will take on former Purdue wrestler Jake O’Brien in a light heavyweight match.

Dong Hyun Kim will face Jonathan Goulet in welterweight action, while The Ultimate Fighter season seven finalist CB Dollaway will look to make it 3-0 in the Octagon since his stint on the show when he takes on season eight’s Tom Lawlor in a middleweight bout>

Also added is a lightweight clash between Matt Grice and Shannon Gugerty.

UFC 100 takes place on July 11 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
