UFC champ Jon Jones: I'm fighting Quinton "Rampage" Jackson next
The hand injury that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson sustained this past Saturday at UFC 130 is serious - but perhaps not serious enough to stall his career. As light-heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones tells it, Jackson will get a shot at his belt.
"I'll be fighting Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson next," Jones told MMAjunkie.com on Thursday. "I'm not allowed to discuss the date because I didn't sign a contract, but yeah, it will be very soon."

What you need to know from this week on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’
With just days to got before the finale, the semifinals are contested on "The Ultimate Fighter." Who will fight for the shiny, breakable glass plaque? Read on for spoilers and a recap.
Awkward moment of the week: The house is still reeling from Tony Ferguson's drunken attacks on Charlie Rader. Chuck O'Neil, who will fight Ferguson, says that Ferguson has burned every bridge in the house.
Apology of the week: Ferguson apologized to his team, and said he didn't remember what he said. His team didn't accept it, and they have chosen not to be in his corner when he fights.
But first, a fight that doesn't have alcohol-fueled drama. (Side note: semi-final fights are three rounds long.)
Semifinal one of the week: Ramsey Nijem (Team dos Santos) vs. Chris Cope (Team Lesnar)
Round one: Nijem starts the fight more aggressively, jabbing Cope into the fence. Cope tries to avoid the takedown, but ends up eating some of Nijem's punches. Cope still gets taken down, but then gets back to his feet. Nijem maintains control against the fence, and even when Cope breaks away, Nijem is able to land strikes.
Round two: Cope starts the round with a leg kick, but is quickly taken down by Nijem. Cope gets back to his feet, but sustains strikes from Nijem as he stands. Nijem never lets up, moving Cope against the fence, then flooding with a barrage of punches and knees until Cope finally falls, and referee Steve Mazzagatti steps into to stop the fight.
Mispronunciation of the week: "And going to the finals! Ramsey Nay-Jim!" Mazzagatti said as he raised Nijem's hand.
Semifinal two of the week: Chuck O'Neil (Team Lesnar) vs. Tony Ferguson (Team Lesnar)
Round one: O'Neil starts strong, landing jabs that appear to shake Ferguson up. Ferguson has good movement, and finally starts landing strikes two minutes into the bout. He then starts using leg kicks, but O'Neil returns the favor. With two minutes left, Ferguson lands a snapping strikes and get O'Neil to back up. Ferguson finishes the round strong, landing a flurry of strikes, even knocking O'Neil down for a second.
Round two: Ferguson starts this round more aggressively, throwing punches and moving O'Neil back into the cage. Ferguson keeps up his footwork and head movement, but O'Neil still manages a few strikes. Ferguson responds and appears to shake up O'Neil with a few jabs. They exchange leg kicks, and then a Ferguson jab causes O'Neil's nose to bleed.
Round three: Ferguson comes out with leg kicks and body shots. O'Neil begins to hobble from the leg kicks. O'Neil's corner begs for him to throw a jab when Ferguson comes in for a kick, but he isn't able to. A straight right knocks O'Neil to the ground, where Ferguson tries to follow him to the ground but isn't able to because of O'Neil's kicks. Back on their feet and with O'Neil's nose bleeding profusely, Ferguson knocks O'Neil to the ground with a hard body shot. The fight is stopped.
And that's your final: Tony Ferguson (Team Lesnar) vs. Ramsey Nijem (Team dos Santos). That will air as a part of "The Ultimate Fighter" finale which runs this Saturday on Spike. Despite an unbalanced semifinal, both teams are represented.
Stann scores another spectacular finish by blasting Santiago at UFC 130
LAS VEGAS - Brian Stann dealt with an emotional spot beautifully in the opening fight of the UFC 130 pay-per-view. The Marine, fighting on Memorial Day weekend, took out an elite middleweight in Jorge Santiago, by showing off a versatile, powerful stand up attack. Stann floored Santiago with a right hook and landed five more shots on the ground before referee Herb Dean saved the Brazilian at 4:29 of the second round.
"It means so much to win today," Stann said, who received a Silver Star back in 2006 for his heroic efforts in Iraq. "There are people who aren't here anymore. They are the true heroes. I am here thanks to a lot of luck and I'm grateful to be fighting on the biggest stage on earth."
Stann's military is a main focus before every one of his fights. He's so humble that he actually apologized during the prefight press conference and again after the fight.
"The attention that's bestowed upon me is misdirected. It belongs to the active military personnel and those who lost their lives fighting for this country," said Stann.
Based on his success with Japan's Sengoku, Santiago rose into the middleweight top 10 of some MMA polls. But there was also a thought that he was a bit overrated. The sportsbook and betting public in Las Vegas agreed with that assessment. Stann was minus-140 favorite during the week and one-sided action pushed him to a -160 favorite. The way the fight played out, he probably should've been a 3-to-1 favorite.
Santiago had trouble getting into a rhythm on the feet and anytime he went near Stann in a clinch situation, he was overpowered.
On the feet, Stann (11-3, 5-1 UFC) was excellent with his leg kicks. He momentarily dropped Santiago on two occasion with those kicks, but the fight changing blows came with both fists. He landed a left hook with 1:45 left in the first and pounded away on top of Santiago for the rest of the round. In the second, Santiago still looked shaky on the feet and was slow. Stann caught him with a right hook on the side of his head and this time Santiago couldn't recover. Stann pounced and fired away from a standing position. The fifth punch he landed made Santiago go limp.

UFC 132 Becomes Official, And Should Be One Of The UFC's Best Summer 2011 Events
Although the past two months have certainly seen a UFC dry spell, the largest MMA promotion in the world has some big plans for the summer and fall. Chief amongst them is their UFC 132 event, which is scheduled for the July 4 weekend and features some of the UFC?s best and brightest stars. Eleven [...]
Jake Rosholt appeals disqualification loss at Titan Fighting Championships 18
Jake Rosholt believes officials made the wrong call this past Friday. The ex-UFC middleweight fought John Ott at Titan Fighting Championships 18 and was disqualified after he threw an illegal knee in the third and final round.
But Rosholt today told MMAjunkie.com that the knee was unintentional and the fight should have been ruled a technical decision or no-contest rather than a disqualification.

UFC 130 draws announced 12,816 attendance and $2.57 million live gate
LAS VEGAS - Saturday's "UFC 130: Rampage vs. Hamill" event drew an announced attendance of 12,816 and a live gate of $2.57 million. UFC president Dana White announced the figures in the night's post-event press conference.
Featuring Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's lopsided unanimous-decision victory over Matt Hamill in the pay-per-view headliner, UFC 130 took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Nelson?s wife reports that he had pneumonia before UFC 130
Roy Nelson's performance against Frank Mir was nothing short of terrible. He looked out of breath throughout the second and third rounds, and was unable to generate offense for much of the bout. According to his wife, Nelson's problems were from a bout with pneumonia, not a lack of conditioning.
Via text messages with Cagewriter, Jessy Nelson said that her husband had walking pneumonia during the first two weeks of May, and that he spent Monday in a Las Vegas hospital. "He described the feeling like someone is taking a big scab off of his lungs," Nelson wrote.
That would certainly explain the wheezing that went on during the Mir match. It would be easy to blame his conditioning on his appearance, as Nelson flaunts his beer-bellied figure. He even walks out the Octagon to the "Weird" Al Yankovic song, "I'm Fat." UFC president Dana White said that he was unhappy with Nelson's performance and planned to meet with him about it.
But Nelson was just as full-figured in his bout with Junior dos Santos, which also went all three rounds. Though he tired near the end of that bout, it was nothing like the exhaustion Nelson showed in the Mir bout.
His other two bouts in the UFC were both first-round knockouts. Before that, his last three-round bout was a loss to Jeff Monson in March of 2009. His last decision win was nearly four years ago.
Pellegrino, 32, walking away from MMA career
Quinton Jackson looked solid on Saturday night, but his performance still leaves questions about his desire to continue fighting. The 32-year-old legend of the sport admits that he's fighting for money, not glory or titles. That's not uncommon amongst fighters.
Later in their careers, even with a lack of desire to train hard, most prize fighters will take a few extra fights past their prime. Kurt Pellegrino, 32, doesn't want to be one those guys and is doing something about it.
It was just last March, that Pellegrino (16-6, 7-5 UFC) was riding a four-fight win streak, but now he's leaving the sport as an active fighter.
"At this time I am choosing to take some time off and step away from the sport as a fighter. Over my most recent fights I have come to the realization that at this point I no longer can, nor want to make fighting my first priority," Pellegrino said on his website. "[...] Even last year when i was on a 4 fight win streak I still was questioning myself. This has made me reconsider what my next step will be competitively. I have spoken at length with [UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva about my decision and have decided not to renew my contract with the UFC."
Pellegrino wants to make his family his first priority.
"Most importantly I want to spend more time with my family. My daughter is four years old and I can't tell you how much of her life I've missed dedicating my life to training for fights. I did so willingly and I've made a lucrative career with the UFC, but I'm not sure I could ever say any amount of money was worth it," Pellegrino said. "My wife and I just welcomed a baby boy and I can't bare the thought of missing as much of his 'firsts' as I did my daughters."
It looks like Pellegrino set himself up nicely. In his native New Jersey, he's got a gym in Belmar, a town on the Jersey Shore. He just expanded the Kurt Pellegrino Mixed Martial Arts Academy.
The future isn't certain for Pellegrino. He may not be completely through with active fighting, but he wants to step back and see if he can regain the hunger that's missing.
"I want to take the time to regroup, refocus, and rethink what it is that I want to do going forward. I want to do things that I enjoy right now and refresh my mind. I want to concentrate on my BJJ game and improve it. I want to work on my boxing game and improve that also," Pellegrino said. "I'd like to compete in some grappling tournaments again like the old days and maybe even try my hand at a pro boxing fight. I want to have fun training again, bottom line."
Pellegrino put on some entertaining shows in the UFC. In 12 fights, he earned a postfight bonus on five occasions.
From a media standpoint, Pellegrino was an interesting guy to cover. Fighting at the highest level always seemed to be more mental than physical for Pellegrino.
His debut in the UFC against Drew Fickett was a prime example. Through two-plus rounds at UFC 61, Pellegrino smoked Fickett, only to make a silly mistake and get submitted in the third round. The same thing happened against Nate Diaz at Ultimate Fight Night 13.
Pellegrino was brutally honest about his failures. That included admitting that he'd taken his education less than seriously and still couldn't read well into his late 20's.
One of the best moments of his career came at UFC 88. Before the fight, Pellegrino spoke about living with his in-laws. He needed to win a fight bonus in order to buy his dream house for his wife and young daughter. Pellegrino beat Thiago Tavares that night, received a $60,000 Fight of the Night award and got his new house.

UFC should book ‘Batman dude’ vs. ‘Guy in the white shirt’ II
UFC ran into some more bad luck on its next Las Vegas card. Frank Edgar and Gray Maynard had to back out of their main event title fight at UFC 130. The promotion may simply want to go on a scouting mission to Las Vegas Blvd.
Check out this bizarre clash between a guy in a Batman outfit and a passer by on the Las Vegas strip. (NSFW - language).
While Batman throws with reckless abandon, "Guy in the white shirt" shows excellent poise. Once GITWS gets inside Batman's strikes, he executes a beautiful suplex and shows killer instinct with some ground and pound.

Tony Ferguson explains offensive TUF outburst
On Wednesday night's episode of "The Ultimate Fighter," Tony Ferguson crossed the line when in a drunken argument with castmate Charlie Rader. It started with Rader pouring water on Ferguson's head, and with the amount of alcohol and testosterone flying around, things went too far. Ferguson brought up Rader's custody problems with his son, saying, "Hit me, don't hit your son."
Ferguson discussed the incident in his post on the SB Nation MMA blog:
Why did I bring up Charlie's son? I have no idea, but I have a guess. My birth father wasn't there for me growing up. Somehow Charlie's situation mixed in with my adrenaline from fighting and the booze all worked together to bring up my own issues. I learned a lot about myself watching that on tape and how I felt about certain things in my life. I was under a lot of pressure, I was trying to bottle up frustration and it didn't work. Well, it worked for a while, but ultimately did not.
I said some things I shouldn't have said. I was in a weird place. I was having crazy dreams in that house. The entire experience took me out of my own independence and removed all of my release valves.
I really regret saying what I said to Charlie and we've talked about it since the incident. I've spoke to Clay Harvison and Chuck, too. We are in a better place now than we were that night.
In the post, Ferguson mentions that they started drinking immediately after the fights, and adrenaline was still pumping through his veins.
Every TUF castmate I've spoken to has mentioned how weird the experience is. They're in a house for six weeks with no television, books, visitors or privacy. They get to train, drink, and entertain each other. This is not to excuse Ferguson's behavior, but just to point out that this isn't a normal situation, and abnormal behavior comes out of it.

UFC 130 postfight: Bonuses, injuries, TUF 14 news, and SEAL Team 6 was at event
- Travis Browne, Gleison Tibau, Brian Stann and Jorge Santiago all received $70,000 postfight bonuses. Browne got Knockout of the Night and Tibau's rear-naked choke of Rafaello Oliveira got him Submission of the Night. Stann and Santiago were honored for Fight of the night.
- UFC 130 produced a lot of injuries. Frank Mir beat Roy Nelson easily on the scorecards, but may have suffered a broken his jaw for his efforts. Struve, Oliveira and Michael McDonald all went to the hospital as well. Stann showed up for the presser even though he suffered a broken thumb.
- The injury news of night revolved around Brock Lesnar and his battle against diverticulitis. According to UFC president Dana White, Lesnar had surgery on Friday to remove 12 inches of his colon. Amazingly, Lesnar told White he was "a little sore." The surgery went well and Camp Lesnar hopes he can return at the start of 2012. White said Lesnar will probably lose a lot of weight on a liquid diet over the next few months.
- Quinton "Rampage" Jackson elaborated on his fractured hand reference in the Octagon following his win over Matt Hamill. Jackson said he injured his left hand back in December or January in Japan. He did so when he was horsing around with a friend.
- If Jackson legitimately has a broken hand, it may cost him a shot at a fight against Jon Jones in the fall. Lyoto Machida is also in the running. White wouldn't commit to choosing an opponent for the UFC light heavyweight champ.
- There� was interesting news about Season 14 of "The Ultimate Fighter." White confirmed that Jason Miller and Michael Bisping will be the coaches, but their season ending fight will not take place on pay-per-view. The fight will be part of the TUF 14 Finale that airs free on Spike.
- Stann revealed the inspiring news that members of "SEAL Team 6" were in attendance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The elite military operatives comprised the crew that located and killed Osama bin Laden.
- Stann was asked about future opponents and sounded offended at the suggestion that he could fight fellow military veteran Tim Kennedy in the future.
- White also revealed his dream for the future of TUF. While discussing international destinations for the show like the Philippines, White said he like to hold a season with 16 different TUF's in locations around the world. The UFC would close out the season by holding a TUF World Cup with the 16 winners.
- In Hollywood news, White confirmed that a first will go down in a new MMA movie starring Kevin James. The UFC is allowing the movie to use its name and some of its personalities including fighters, Joe Rogan and Bruce Buffer. White said he was asked to be in the movie, but turned down the offer.
- White elaborated on the Chael Sonnen situation confirming that the promotion won't be going renegade with the fighter and taking him to another state other than California. When asked why Zuffa is involved with allowing Josh Barnett, also in license limbo with California, to fight in Texas, White said, "That's not me. That's their deal." White was referencing Strikeforce management.

UFC 130 Post-Fight Bonuses Go to Browne, Stann, Santiago, Tibau
LAS VEGAS - With a massive knockout of Stefan Struve, Travis Browne got the attention of the heavyweight division on Saturday night at UFC 130. He also got a big bonus check. Browne's Superman punch KO of Struve earned Knockout of the Night honors at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. He was joined by Gleison Tibau for Submission of the Night and Brian Stann and Jorge Santiago for Fight of the Night. Each earned $70,000 bonuses for their performances on the card. UFC president Dana White announced the winners and bonus amounts at the post-fight press conference.
In a battle of big men, the 6-foot-7 Browne charged the 6-11 Struve late in the first round with a straight Superman punch that connected on the button, dropping the Dutch heavyweight immediately. He followed it with two shots on the ground as referee Steve Mazzagatti dove in. With the win, Browne stays unbeaten at 11-0-1. Struve's two-fight winning streak was snapped, and he drops to 21-5.
Tibau pulled off the night's only submission, stopping Rafaello Oliveira by rear naked choke in the second round. Oliveira, who returned to the UFC after a 4-0 stretch outside the promotion, took the fight on short notice when Bart Palaszewski pulled out with an injury.
And Stann and Santiago were given Fight of the Night in what was perhaps a surprise. Stann won by TKO late in the second in a fight he was dominating. It was the pay-per-view's first fight and the early candidate for Knockout of the Night, but Browne went above and beyond with his knockout of Struve. So White may have wanted to have a way to reward Stann, a military hero who got the night's biggest ovation on Memorial Day weekend.

What you need to know from this week on “The Ultimate Fighter”
If Season 13 of "The Ultimate Fighter" has been missing anything, it's a bit of that pizazz from Brock Lesnar's WWE days. The former WWE champ still hasn't gone back to his roots, but between Chris Cope's Ric Flair-like "wooos" and Junior dos Santos screaming "what" like he was watching "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Episode 9 felt like being at a wrestling event.
It also turned out to be about and looking past an opponent and weak excuses.
Cope is supposedly the weak link on the show, but he proved everyone wrong again by pulling the upset on Team dos Santos' No. 1 pick Shamar Bailey.
UFC president Dana White called it before the fight saying Bailey looked one-dimensional in his opening round win and was overlooking Cope. Cope wasn't exactly Mr. Aggressive, but he successfully defended against nine takedown attempts and gassed Bailey on his way to a surprising 20-18 win.
Dos Santos was shocked.
"That [decision] was terrible for me," dos Santos said. "I looked at Dana and said 'what?'"
Bailey was also in disbelief saying, "he fought well, but I don't know about that. You can't win backing up the whole time."
White seemed pleased that Cope got the decision and wasn't hearing Bailey's lame excuse during a one-on-one conversation shortly after the fight.
"I just want to let you know I took a risk," Bailey told White. "I wanted to show you I could bang and not just wrestle. I left it in the hands of the judges. I could've took the easy way out and just took him down."
White quickly pointed to Bailey that he did try to take Cope down throughout the fight and had zero success.
There was no controversy in quarterfinal fight No. 1. Knowing that Ramsey Nijem is a strong wrestler, Brock Lesnar worked with Clay Harvison on his takedown defense. Harvison was drilled hard on getting out of the clinch.
Practice didn't make perfect. He was taken down just 10 seconds into the fight. When he tried to get back up he left his back exposed. Nijem worked to get the hooks in, then flattened out Harvison before locking on a rear-naked choke. It was all over in 56 seconds.
Next week it looks like Tony Ferguson goes psycho in the TUF house. He also faces Ryan McGillivray while Zach Davis battles "Cold Steel" Chuck O'Neil.
Rampage Jackson Bucks Criticism, Says He Wants to Be Champ Again
LAS VEGAS -- Before it happened, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson said that being a champion wouldn't necessarily mean anything to him. Even when he won the UFC belt, he held the same contention. But now, it seems like Jackson is at the point of his career where he's reevaluating some of his long-held beliefs. On Thursday, he seemed to reverse course, indicating that yes, it was a goal of his to re-capture the light-heavyweight championship. That declaration -- "I want to be a champion again one day," for the record -- might serve to quiet some of the critics that hammered Jackson for his comments about a lack of excitement to face his UFC 130 opponent Matt Hamill.
After indicating that his career will come to an end around his 35th birthday, perhaps Jackson -- who turns 33 next month -- has begun to think about his career winding down, and setting goals for before he calls it quits. Or maybe he simply liked being the champion, and the bragging rights that it provides. Or maybe the money is simply better. Whatever the case, Jackson seemed to buck any thoughts that he is lacking in motivation for this bout and beyond.
The more you find yourself around him, the more fascinated you find yourself about what comes out of his mouth. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's insightful, and sometimes it's controversial. Some of his recent comments fell into that last category. But Jackson, who has been fighting professionally for over a decade, clarified the "excitement" remarks during a Thursday interview session.
"It's like a teacher being excited to go to the classroom every day," he said. "He's used to it. You guys may look at it differently than me, but this is my career. It's my job and what I do. I think it's weird when people think I'm not excited. I keep it real. I don't know if other fighters get excited or not. I don't know. I'm excited to be working and make a living and stuff like that, but another day, another dollar."
Jackson, in other words, said the previous comments were not an indictment on his opponent Hamill as they are a reflection of the way he approaches his career. Which is to say, it's a job first and foremost.
Part of that attitude stems from his love-hate relationship with the sport. He loves to fight, but he hates the training, the aches and pains, the early morning runs, the inability to eat the things he enjoys.
Because of that, it takes a lot to get him really amped for a fight, even if the stakes are high. He says even when he fought Chuck Liddell for the title, and Wanderlei Silva for the third time, he didn't find himself excited at the prospect. That changed last year when he faced rival Rashad Evans after the two formed an antagonistic relationship on The Ultimate Fighter.
"I really wanted to beat him and I wanted to shut his mouth," Jackson said, explaining that the match became personal more than business. " I guess thats maybe why I'm not trying to get excited anymore. I was under the impression we'd get it on and do the thing, but it turned into a boring match for the fans."
Jackson has no such animosity for Hamill, describing himself as "very impressed" with Hamill's ability to overcome his hearing disability while becoming a divisional contender.
Looking fit, lean and happy, the popular Jackson has plenty to gain with a win, as a victory may vault him into a fall date with light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones. That opportunity was likely one he didn't see coming, and so maybe one he finds more precious than he might let on. Earlier this week, he voiced regret for letting an opportunity to fight then-champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua escape him for getting out of shape between fights, and said he was "sick and tired" of blowing up in between fights.
To that end, he and a friend recently opened a gym nearby his California home, and he plans to stay in better shape year-round to take advantage of any opportunities presented to him.
"I'm trying," he said. "I'm trying to stay in shape but I'm a lazy guy. I dread going to gym. I'd rather be at home playing video games. But I'm trying. I want to be champion again one day."

Eating baby food, abstinence and kicking butt, all part of what makes up phenom Michael McDonald
A 20-year-old shouldn't be able to walk into the UFC and compete, but that's exactly what Michael McDonald is doing. A few seconds of watching him fight and you understand why he's so advanced for his age. Speaking to him gives you an even better indicator.
With the help of RawVegas.tv, we hunted down McDonald in Las Vegas. He's a very poised, grounded kid. McDonald is spiritual and admitted that he doesn't drink or party, and he's abstinent.
McDonald faces UFC newcomer Chris Cariaso on the undercard of UFC 130. The fighters have a history with Cariaso taking out a McDonald teammate in a past fight. It was a frustrating night for McDonald who worked the corner. He wants exact a bit of revenge for his buddy. McDonald is a huge minus-300 favorite over Cariaso.

White suggests Sonnen has been punished too harshly
Chael Sonnen's career is in limbo. The confusion over how his testosterone replacement therapy was handled and reported, plus a positive test following his UFC 117 loss to Anderson Silva, has him facing an indefinite period on the sidelines. Dana White broke his silence on last week's California State Athletic Commission ruling and didn't sound pleased.
"I'm pretty bummed out about the Chael Sonnen thing and the way that the whole thing was handled. You know, this guy… I don't know if there's ever been a penalty laid down, I mean Tyson, I think when Tyson bit the ear, Tyson got a year. Um… it's pretty crazy," White told Heavy.com.
White says Sonnen's getting a raw deal.
"Um… listen, it's not that he'd have to retire, but right now was his opportunity. This kid had the opportunity to coach The Ultimate Fighter, he had the opportunity to get a big fight set up, should he win that fight… everybody knows what happened with Anderson Silva, this was a key moment in this kid's career and me, personally, you know, you've heard me say it for the last almost 11 years, we always support whatever the athletic commission says," White said. "This kid got, this kid got it stuck to him, man. He paid his dues in every way shape and forum and, uh… I think he's been treated a bit unfairly."
The CSAC denied Sonnen after his most recent attempt at regaining his license to fight. It was thought initially that Sonnen would be unable to re-apply until the summer of 2012. The CSAC admitted it misinterpreted a rule and now Sonnen can try again in late June.
