Thanks to the power of Twitter and the widespread, though erroneous belief that there is no such thing as a stupid question, the Twitter mailbag is back with another fresh batch of almost useful answers to those burning questions of yours.

This week we discuss upcoming prospects in both the male and female divisions of MMA, and we also seek the answer to that age-old question, do the cageside judges deciding so many close fights have any sort of qualifications whatsoever?

All that, and yes, another James Toney query. If you have a question of your own for a future mailbag, hit me up at @BenFowlkesMMA. Then wait a couple weeks and remind me that you’re still waiting for an answer. Hey, I never said it was a perfect system.

@Aarondaane I have a pre-emptive mailbag question for you: are there any actual qualifications needed to be an mma judge?
