UFC lightweight title contender Frankie Edgar will take the stage prior
to the March 20 weigh-in for “UFC on Versus 1: Vera vs. Jones” at
1STBANK Center.

Edgar will be the UFC’s guest at the UFC on Versus 1 Fight Club Q&A
session, a fan-driven interview opportunity that accompanies every UFC
event.

Check-in for the Q&A, which is only open to UFC Fight Club members,
begins at 1:30 p.m. MT local time (3:30 p.m. ET), and the session with
Edgar runs from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. MT local time.

UFC middleweight contender Nate Marquardt will take the stage prior to
the March 20 weigh-in for “UFC on Versus 1: Vera vs. Jones” at 1STBANK
Center in Broomfield, Colo.

Marquardt will be the UFC’s guest at the UFC on Versus 1 Fight Club
Q&A session, a fan-driven interview opportunity that accompanies
every UFC event.

UFC 112 title contender Frankie Edgar was initially announced as the
Q&A host (and is still incorrectly listed in some online
schedules), but Colorado resident Marquardt has since been officially
announced for the role.

In anticipation of their UFC 111 main-event fight, UFC welterweight
champion Georges St-Pierre and challenger Dan Hardy will be featured in
“UFC Primetime,” a three-part special that airs on Spike TV.

The first episode debuts on Spike TV tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT, while
parts two and three will air in the same timeslot on March 17 and March
24, respectively.

UFC 111 takes place March 27 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and airs on pay-per-view.

Stephan Bonnar has lost an appeal to change the result of his UFC 110 loss to Krzystztof Soszynski.

The Combat Sports Authority of New South Wales ruled this past Tuesday
that the official result ruling the fight a TKO win in favor of
Soszynski stands.

“A review was held … and the Combat Sports Authority of NSW did not
seek to interfere with the referee’s decision,” wrote Craig Waller,
Executive Director of the Combat Sports Authority of New South Wales,
in an email sent to MMAjunkie.com late Tuesday night.

Jon Jones (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Brandon Vera (11-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) could be headed up a division around the same time.

The light heavyweight headliners of UFC on Versus 1 spoke Tuesday to
media about their March 21 fight, and both said a trip to the
heavyweight division is not out of the question in two years, give or
take.

It would be Vera’s second run in the weight class since June 2008, when
the UFC urged him to drop to 205 pounds after losses to Tim Sylvia and
Fabricio Werdrum. Jones has served his young career at light
heavyweight but said his still-growing frame may support a move up.
