Kenny Florian questions “Who has he beaten?” in regards to Melvin Guillard’s statement that UFC needs to give title-shots to new blood instead of recycling contendors like Florian. Florian adds he would take a fight with Guillard.

Junior Dos Santos says Brock Lesnar “doesn’t accept punches well” and has a “weak chin.”

Brendan Schaub uses fear to motivate him in fights like watching video of his upcoming UFC 128 opponent, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic in his past K-1 fights.

Dana White announced during the UFC: Fight for the Troops 2 conference call today that Heavyweights, Brock Lesnar and number one contender, Junior Dos Santos will coach the The Ultimate Fighter 13. It’s a surprising announcement since rumors have swirled that Lesnar is no longer interested in his MMA career following his title loss to Cain Velasquez.  The decision for making Lesnar and Dos Santos the coaches, came only 1 week and a half ago after Velasquez had to pull out of his upcoming title defense against Dos Santos having suffered a shoulder injury.  Filming for TUF 13 begins around January 24th.

If you missed last night’s WEC final event, WEC 53: Henderson vs Pettis, you missed Anthony Pettis‘ own Matrix Kick which sealed his fate as the last WEC Lightweight Champion. But don’t worry, you can see the kick that stunned Ben Henderson and thousands of fans: here.

WEC Bantamweight Champion and newly  UFC belted Bantamweight Champion, Dominick Cruz went into his fight last night with a hand injury that has been in need of surgery since before his last fight with Joseph Benavidez, where he successfully defended his title. Again, last night he dominated over Scott Jorgensen for 5 rounds and came out victorious but was scheduled for hand surgery after the bout. Now news is swirling that TUF 13 will be coached by Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber. Cruz recently told MMAFighting that hand surgery will wait, so he can coach TUF: here.

Jake Shields says he’ll dethrone Georges St. Pierre: here.

Fedor Emelianenko is expected back in the Strikeforce cage early next year to fight Antonio Silva, as reported by MMAWeekly: here.

Dana White Maintains GSP is Most Famous Canadian Athlete and Koscheck is a Dick (VIDEO)

Ariel Helwani is in Montreal, Quebec Canada covering the UFC 124: St. Pierre Vs. Koscheck. The 2010 Fighter’s Only MMA Journalist of the Year was able to snag Dana White for an in depth interview and argue with him a bit over who the most famous Canadian athlete really is. Helwani is a native of Canada and held his own debating with White that Wayne Gretzky may have more fame than GSP, but White maintains, Georges St. Pierre is known everywhere, especially noting his popularity due to the internet (which Dana so loathes as a media outlet).

Helwani also asks White about his relationship with Josh Koscheck after six weeks of filming for TUF 12. White is honest that their relationship has improved but reiterates that Koscheck is still a dick. Helwani also informs Dana White that Bellator will not allow Jonathon Brookins to fight for UFC due to the lawsuit and also tells him he’s heard about big rumors over an announcement soon for UFC in Brazil. White is surprised by both questions, saying he’s ready for a legal battle with Bellator and as for the Brazil rumors…he doesn’t know. Hmph….
