I think Ferguson just said he could feel the outcome of the fight with his skin…I’m not really sure what to do with that so I merely present it to you, fair reader.
Edwards gives us no such juicy and confounding sound bytes, but not every fighter can.
Another blast of ads gives us a few intimate seconds with Ryan “Darth” Bader as he discusses UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon “Bones” Jones and his upcoming tussle with Tito “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Ortiz.
Really?
We’re still trotting out Ortiz? At this point, it’d be more interesting to see Jenna Jameson fight.
And how many middle fingers does Tito have to give the UFC before it bites him permanently?
Very strange, but I kind of like Tito so no skin off my nose. Just seems a little strange, like maybe the beef with Dana White and company is more facade than for real.
The break closes with another add for “Auction Hunters,” which proves that reality-television fans will watch ANYTHING.

I’ve re-watched that rematch between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie “The Answer” Edgar and No. 1 challenger Gray “The Bully” Maynard, and I still can’t figure out how it was a draw. The Answer showed incredible heart and chin recovering from the savage assault he endured in the first, but no way Maynard didn’t win that scrap.
No way, which means the trilogy-maker should be a burner of the first order.
Turns out the mini-Couture is, in fact, Justin Edwards and not Tony Ferguson. Oops.
Regardless, we haven’t seen much of either of these dudes so it’s tough to get a read on who has the advantage.
Team JDS seems a little bummed about the departure of Coach Lew Polley, but who knows if that’s just about resisting change or a genuine affection for Lew. Seems like the latter and, if that’s the case, it bears mentioning since so much of the fight game is mental.

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos suffered a setback last week as far as momentum is concerned.
After about two episodes of intrigue, Episode 5 fell a little flat and left the 13th season of the UFC’s flagship reality show in serious need of resuscitation. This was supposed to be another watershed moment for TUF as MMA’s biggest name and most marketable star (for now), Brock Lesnar, brought his wattage to an already formidable attraction.
Even better, he was to share the stage with one of the sport’s brightest up-and-coming contenders, Junior “Cigano” dos Santos.
If all had gone according to script, each episode would’ve pitted the two massive heavyweights against each other in a figurative battle that would’ve added even more heat to an already sizzling matchup at UFC 131.
Of course, you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men.
Instead of that weekly adrenaline orgy, we’ve gotten a steady diet of vanilla fare.
But rumors around the virtual water cooler say that Episode 6 can’t be missed, that this is the week everything falls into place and then takes off.
And you know neither lies nor exaggeration is tolerated around the cooler.
So check back in at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT when the action starts in earnest.

“It’s good to be king”—Tom Petty
When you’re sporting a new sled like UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva is, it sure is good to be the king.
Silva has joined UFC hall of fame member Randy Couture by purchasing a new Camaro SS. But this isn’t just any normal Camaro—this baby is tricked out like none other.
All the customizations done to this car are far too many to list. Thankfully, someone from the Camaro5.com forums took the time to break down everything West Coast Customs did to make the Camaro a one-of-a-kind for the “Spider.”
“The customization of Silva’s Camaro is extensive and to our eyes includes: custom paint, black stripes running from hood to tail, widened rear quarter fenders/shoulders with functional open rear quarter fender openings, Silva Bee grill emblem, Silva Bee embroidered headrest, back seats, trunk lid liner, and floormats, custom black spoke / yellow lip wheels, custom functional Transformers 2 style bumper air inlets, custom cowl ram air hood, custom, custom rear diffuser with exhaust outlet, black painted rear light bezel, SILVA door sills, alcantara headliner and door paneling, custom dashboard including driver facing gauges, dual colored seats, steering wheel, shift knob, contrasting stitching, in-dash screen, custom trunk subwoofer system and pop-up screens on rear quarter shoulders.”
Just reading everything that was done to the car isn’t enough to do it any justice. You can check out a bounty of pictures of this incredible ride by clicking here.
After eyeballing a similar Camaro at a local dealership for months, and getting financing all lined up, second thoughts must be sitting in. After seeing that incredible car, having something less sitting in your garage would put a frown on your face.

“Suga” Rashad Evans spoke to MMADigest about a variety of subjects leading up to his fight vs. Phil Davis in August at UFC 133. The fight has recently been scheduled to replace his title fight against the now-injured champ Jon Jones.
On similarities between champ Jones and replacement opponent Davis
“They are both athletic, pretty good wrestlers and both have a ranginess to them. That’s probably where it ends right there.”
On the twitter war with Jones and how it started
“Just speaking the truth man, just speaking the truth. He had made a comment about beating me in practice and I was like, if you beat me in practice it was DESIGNED for you to beat me in practice because I was trying to help you get ready for Bryan Bader so.” he told MMA Digest.
No doubt he meant Ryan Bader, or was he taking a shot at Bader?
When asked if the training sessions with Jones were one sided, he also went on to explain the training relationship and the purpose of it.
“When you have a training relationship, it’s not about winning, it’s about making each other better and helping each other. As the fight comes closer, you peak at the right time. I was trying to get him ready, but whatever.”
On Rashad’s Milli Vanilli comment towards Jones and if he thought it bothered Bones
“I don’t know if it bothered him or not and it doesn’t matter. He is fake. When you fake you fake.”
On where Rashad is training these days
“Not at ATT. I’m at Imperial.” He said he is training day to day with the likes of the Villefort’s, Jorge Santiago, Big Foot and Calvacante among others.
On how the fight with Phil Davis at UFC 133 is going to go down
“I’m gonna put on a good show, and the result will be my hand being raised. Phil Davis is a tough guy so I’m gonna have to train hard and fight hard.”
I was looking forward to Evans vs. Jones but the Davis fight is very interesting as well. I look forward to seeing it!

Anyone who has ever attended or watched a UFC event press conference can tell you stories of pointless, uneducated, disrespectful or downright offensive questions that have been asked.
But during the UFC 129 press conference, a new bar has officially been set for awkwardness.
A woman in the audience who was asking a question was also holding a UFC action figure (which she referred to as a “doll”) of the welterweight champ. The question started off normal until it veered off into unfamiliar territory.
“What’s the most offensive thing you’ve ever heard of a woman doing to one of your dolls?”
Laughing as he tried to sidestep this obviously ridiculous question, St-Pierre asked to see the figure. That’s when things got even weirder.
“I’ve done things to it, Georges…”
Still no word on why no one stepped in to save the champion from this unbelievable creep, but it definitely showed that the UFC does not screen their questions.
Anything can happen in the UFC cage, and apparently at the press conferences as well!
