Just days before his UFC 123 Co-Main Event against Welterweight, Matt Hughes, the Prodigy weighs in on the UFC Official Scale at 170 pounds.

Lyoto Machida is taking a cue from teammate, UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva and adding Actor/Martial Artist, Steven Seagal to his team of trainers in preparation for his UFC 123 Lightheavyweight Main Event fight with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Lyoto Machida is taking a cue from teammate, UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva and adding Actor/Martial Artist, Steven Seagal to his team of trainers in preparation for his UFC 123 Lightheavyweight Main Event fight with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. In the video below, Seagal offers several techniques to add to Machida’s arsenal and advises him where he went wrong in his bout against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua which lost him the UFC Lightheavyweight title, though it appears Seagal may be offering a bit of bad advice with a few illegal moves including throat punching.
Anderson Silva was dominated by Chael Sonnen in his last fight, but maybe that had more to do with PEDs than with Seagal. We shall see what Machida does with what Seagal has taught him…
In a Recent Interview to Sherdog Radio Network, UFC Lightheavyweight, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson said he plans to go back to his Pride Fighting mentality and not focus on the money, as he has throughout his UFC career:
This fight right here has nothing to do with money,” Jackson told Buffer. “This fight right here is all […]
In a Recent Interview to Sherdog Radio Network, UFC Lightheavyweight, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson said he plans to go back to his Pride Fighting mentality and not focus on the money, as he has throughout his UFC career:
This fight right here has nothing to do with money,” Jackson told Buffer. “This fight right here is all about honor and respect. Since I’ve been in the UFC, I have been all about money because quite honestly, I’ve made more money in the UFC than I ever did in other shows. It’s really easy to get beside yourself and be all about the money, all about the money. But I remember back in my Pride days, I used to just go and fight for honor. … I want to go back to my old Pride days when I used to fight to put on a show.
Rampage also assures us he will be fighting his own fight at UFC 123 against former UFC Lightheavyweight Champion, Lyoto Machida this weekend.
Much respect to him as a person,” Jackson said. “As a fighter, I really don’t like his fighting style. If anybody knows about me, as soon as I get in the Octagon, I come to fight. I really don’t like people who fight in [Machida’s] manner. How are you going to fight somebody from a distance? That is one of the things I’ve been working on a lot: not fighting his fight. I’m going to fight my fight. I don’t care what Machida does or what he thinks he’s going to do. It’s all about what I’m going to do.

Looks like UFC Heavyweight, Roy Nelson has been contracted under Roy Jones Jr.’s Square Ring, Inc. throughout his entire UFC career including his time on TUF 10.

Looks like UFC Heavyweight, Roy Nelson has been contracted under Roy Jones Jr.’s Square Ring, Inc. throughout his entire UFC career including his time on TUF 10. The Zuffa legal team is looking into the matter and UFC President, Dana White plans to put Nelson’s fight plans on hold “until the matter is resolved.”
Nelson who didn’t seem to be aware of the fine print on his contract with Roy Jones Jr. has taken to his Twitter account to address the situation and how he plans to deal with it:
“Trying to do some non-MMA related work just in case this fighting stuff doesn’t work out, I need to start the James (Toney) thing. Just pick fights and then get paid, then have the IRS look into my independent contract status.”
Interesting note: Dana White told MMAJunkie :
“There’s organizations that are locking these guys up to the old-school boxing contracts,” White said. “The contracts that King and those guys were doing back in the 60s, 70s and 80s where they have options on top of their options – so your contract never ends with these guys.
“These are the kinds of contracts that some of these guys are signing in these other organizations out there that some of these MMA websites go, ‘Oh, stick up for these guys, they’re the small guys.’ The small guys are the guys that are really [expletive] the fighters.”
Yet, MMAJunkie reports on Nelson’s last fight with Roy Jones Jr.’s Square Ring, Inc.: “According to the Florida State Boxing Commission, Nelson earned $30,000 for his efforts.”
In his UFC 117 bout against Junior Do Santos, Nelson earned a $15,000 purse. Now this “MMA website” isn’t trying to argue who the bad guys are, but there’s a lot more for MMA fighters to consider, read and UNDERSTAND before signing any contract.

As news leaks that UFC Welterweight, Jake Ellenberger will be getting a crack at the #2 ranked Welterweight in the world, MMAFix decided to ask Ellenberger 10 burning questions. Jake Ellenberger took some time out from training in Hawaii to sit down at his computer and explain to us why he calls Jake Shields, “Miss Piggy” and why he thinks he’s been asked to fight Jon Fitch at UFC 126.
1. Okay, I’ve seen your Twitter talk to Jake Shields. Why did you dub him “Miss Piggy”? And are you not a fan of McDonald’s dollar menu?
JE: Miss Piggy is fitting for Shields for his softness when he fights. Also his feminine charm reminds me of Miss Piggy from the Muppet Show.
2. I’ve read that Jake Shields ducked a fight with you some time ago. Can you explain that?
JE: Easy, I signed a contract to fight him, his dad pulled him out. Weak move.
3. So is it safe to say you were unimpressed with Shield’s Decision win against Martin Kampmann? What did you think of Kampmann’s performance? He told us he put in a shitty performance and wasn’t happy with himself.
JE: Jake Shields always seems to have an excuse. News Flash, everyone cuts weight in the upper echelon of the UFC, I cut 20 pounds to make welterweight, and I walk around at 205. When you are a professional athlete, you have the right people are in place around you, and decisions can be made about situations like this. If it’s too hard to make 170, either compete at middleweight or cut the weight and don’t complain.
4. How much can you confirm that there will be a bout between you and Jon Fitch at UFC 126?
JE: That is the rumor…
5. Jon Fitch is the number 2 ranked Welterweight in the world but is often criticized for not putting on the most exciting performances. How do you feel about Fitch?
JE: Jon Fitch is a great fighter and no one but GSP has beaten him in a long time. He has solid wrestling, good hands, smothering top game, and a good guard. Like any other guy, he has holes in his game though in which I will try to exploit.
6. We know you put on exciting fights. What you did to John Howard’s face was very impressive at UFC on Versus 2. What do yousay to people who are a little surprised though at your rapid flight up the ranks to get an opportunity at Jon Fitch?
JE: Joe and Dana are the best in the business for a reason and they make matchups for exciting fights. I will always have an exciting fight!
7. Do you agree as some MMA analysts have said, that Fitch has far more to lose than you do if he takes a loss to you?
JE: Sure, I agree. Everyone in a fight has something to lose.
8. It may be fair to say the UFC Welterweight division is the most stacked division they have with all four of the top ranked MMA Welterweights in the world fighting in the promotion. Other top 10 fighters, for instance in the UFC Light Heavyweight division like Jon Jones and Matt Hamill have yet to receive a top 5 fighter, why do you think you are getting this outstanding opportunity?
JE: My job is to fight, that’s it. I am grateful for the opportunity to fight a top 5 guy, and any other professional fighter would take advantage of this opportunity as well.
9. If you can beat Jon Fitch and have the chance to pick your next opponent, Title shot not a factor, who would you choose to fight? GSP or Jake Shields? Shields has said that he would prefer Georges St. Pierre over Josh Koscheck because beating St. Pierre would be more prestigious. How do you feel?
JE: Shields, he will not beat me. EVER.
10. What do you want MMA fans to expect from you going into your next fight? …that you can finish Fitch?…that you will put on an exciting show?…that you can smack talk better than Chael Sonnen?
JE: I always have exciting fights, and look forward to becoming a world champion.
