Just 12 hours after an ultra-stacked and star-studded “PRIMETIME”
special, MMAjunkie.com Radio returns to its normal time slot and
welcomes to the show veteran UFC broadcaster Mike Goldberg.

Goldberg, who’s commentated everything from college football to NHL
hockey to air racing, helps us break down this weekend’s UFC 109 card
and other MMA happenings. (Wes Sims has been rescheduled for tonight’s
“PRIMETIME” show.)

MMAjunkie.com Radio begins at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) live from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino’s Race & Sports Book. Listen to
and watch a video stream of the two-hour show at www.mmajunkie.com/radio.

Undefeated UFC middleweight Aaron Simpson (7-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) goes for his eighth win in eight pro fights when he returns in May at UFC 114.

The fighter, fresh off a split-decision win over Tom Lawlor that earned him a UFC Fight Night 20 “Fight of the Night” bonus, announced his return on Facebook.

No opponent was revealed for the UFC 114 event, which takes place May 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

A “Strikeforce: Miami” preliminary-card bout that was supposed to be streamed by EASportsMMA.com but slowed by a traffic surge to the Web site is now available on Strikeforce.com.

The fight can be watched in its entirety until this Sunday, Feb. 7.

Hieron vs. Riggs took place Jan. 30 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. But with a host of other bouts filling the night’s Showtime broadcast, the fight was bumped to the un-aired prelims.

Where in the world did Mac Danzig go?

“The Ultimate Fighter 6” winner was on the scene one day in Las Vegas, training with the world’s best, a UFC contract in hand. Then, he was gone.

As it turns out, Danzig quietly left Las Vegas, moved back to Los Angeles, and contemplated what future, if any, he’d have in MMA. After hooking up with a new gym full of young and eager fighters, he got his passion back. But Danzig, who’s lost his past three fights, said a defeat at Saturday’s UFC 109 event will likely mean his voluntary departure from the UFC.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s traditional pre-event press conference for this weekend “UFC 109: Relentless” event takes place today, and you can watch a live video stream of the presser on MMAjunkie.com.

Today’s press conference takes place at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino’s Mizuya Lounge in Las Vegas, and the UFC-provided stream begins at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT local time).

Taking part in today’s event are UFC president Dana White, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive Keith Kizer, headliners Randy Couture and Mark Coleman, co-headliners Chael Sonnen and Nate Marquardt, and preliminary-card fighter Brian Stann.

UFC welterweight and former PRIDE and Strikeforce fighter Frank Trigg is the latest addition to the “EA Sports MMA” videogame roster and becomes only the second current UFC fighter officially announced for the game’s roster.

EA Sports marketing executive Randy Chase made the announcement while a guest on tonight’s “PRIMETIME” edition of MMAjunkie.com Radio.

The game, available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms, is expected to be released in late summer 2010.
