Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:

According to UFC.com, a featherweight bout between Alex “Bruce Leroy” Caceres and Leonard “Bad Boy” Garcia has been setup for UFC on Versus 5 in Milwaukee on August 14. The bout was verbally agreed by both parties as of Tuesday, the website confirms.

Garcia returned to the UFC last year, that saw him earn a controversial decision over Nam Phan at “The Ultimate Finale 12”. More recently, fans saw Garcia lose to Chan Sung Jung via submission at UFC Fight Night 24.

Chuck Liddell Video: To Fornicate or Defecate, That Is the Key Question

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell was walking down the street when he was asked a fairly odd question opening interview question by the folks at TMZ.com, “Is it true that fighters, like, don’t fornicate before a fight?”The question i…

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell was walking down the street when he was asked a fairly odd question opening interview question by the folks at TMZ.com, “Is it true that fighters, like, don’t fornicate before a fight?”

The question itself is nothing new and Chuck handles it well, answering, “Depends on the fighter, I guess.” Liddell then added that his “Trainer told him to limit it to once the night before.”

Pretty tame stuff all in all, but the comedy quotient gets kicked up a notch when the TMZ reporter gets back to the office and reviews his “great question” with the website’s staff.  It seems as if the young man that had the conversation with Liddell may have missed some sex education and health classes back in junior high school as he confuses fornication with defecation.

While, this stuff is not exactly, comedy gold, it is fairly amusing to see the staff crack up around the reporter while he claims that he and Chuck were on the same wave length during the very brief interview.

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua has faced many top fighters in his MMA career.

But the former UFC light heavyweight champion considers Jon Jones the best.

Rua fought Jones at UFC 128 in March. Rua was dominated the entire fight, losing by TKO in the third round.

Shogun has beat UFC greats Mark Coleman, Chuck Liddell, Lyoto Machida and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. Rua has also defeated current Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem twice.

But Rua told ESPN that Jones was the toughest.

“After the Jon Jones fight I gave it a lot of thought, I reflected a lot, I thought about my training…everything. I came to some conclusions, but I don’t want to take anything away from Jones, he’s a good fighter.

I have given it a lot of thought because I hope to fight him again one day.”

Despite beating both Lyoto Machida and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in the past, Rua will have to wait in line for a title shot.

Although it’s something he doesn’t want to do, he knows it is “a part of the game.” Rua’s climb to the top begins with the first man he ever faced in the UFC, Forrest Griffin.

Despite being heavily favored to win, Rua lost the fight by rear naked choke.

Rua will have a chance to avenge that lost and get back on top in his home country of Brazil, at UFC 134.
