MMA Link Club: 25 Photos of Stacey Hannant, Blonde BAMMA Bombshell

- TUF Times Blog: Season 14, Episode 3 – with Dustin Neace (TheFightNerd)

"I know people want to know about me and Akira but the truth is me and him got along great before the show started. The first time we were in Vegas for the tryouts, I thought he was funny and would consider him someone I could hang out with. He was always finding ways to make things happen that would just make you laugh so hard. The first few days in the house he was alright, then the team picks happened."

- Hired Hero: An interview exclusive with UFC 136 fighter Brian Stann (MMAMania)

"The fact of the matter is, I don't care who you are. If I hit you on the chin, there's a good chance you're going out. Anderson possesses that same ability. He's only a man. I don't put any fighter on a pedestal of being unbeatable. I train with guys like Jon Jones every day who is every bit as devastating."

- Chiappetta's Primer: UFC 136 Edition (NBCSports/MMA)

"The UFC’s breakneck stretch of four events in four weeks ends this Saturday in Houston, with arguably the promotion’s best card since it invaded Toronto’s Rogers Centre in March, wowing a record 55,000 fans. Instead of limping to the finish line, the UFC boasts a show that features two title fights, a true No. 1 contender fight, and a possible No. 1 lightweight contender in the making."

- Building the Jon "Bones" Jones Legacy in the UFC (BleacherReport/MMA)

"The battle for future light heavyweight stardom between Ryan Bader and Jon Jones isn't that hard to remember as it just took place on February 5th, 2011. No one predicted that the future would come so quickly as Jon Jones was awarded a title fight as soon as his hand was raised in victory. Just a month later it was Jon Jones looking down from the mountaintop, when he won the UFC light heavyweight championship by knocking out Mauricio "Shogun" Rua."

- Third Time’s the FINAL Charm for Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard (5thRound)

"If Frankie Edgar is able to successfully defend his lightweight crown against Gray Maynard at UFC 136, “The Answer” will have finally avenged the only loss on his resume. However, because the 155-pounders fought to a highly-controversial draw in their rematch, he would still need to collect another win over Maynard in order to say he has the upper hand on “The Bully.”

- Jon Jones Buys First New Car, A $190,000 2012 Bentley (MMAConvert)

"Today was a good day for Jon Jones. Actually, “one of the best days of [his] life,” as he put it. Jones bought himself his first new car — a very expensive first new car in the form of a 2012 Bentley Continental GT. Jones didn’t say how much he paid for it, but the sticker price for that particular model comes in at a whopping $190,000. It’s good to be the champ."

- It's true, Chael Sonnen is the most interesting man on the planet (MiddleEasy)

"Chael Sonnen approaches the English language as if every word stole his grade-school lunch and the only way he can exert revenge is to combine the most whimsical expressions and aim it directly at one person, usually Anderson Silva. Sometimes Chael can just exist in this universe and people will still consider him the most interesting man on the planet. However, just to reaffirm how interesting of a person Sonnen is, MrUFCTrailers made a promo to further back your previous assumption (of how amazing Chael Sonnen truly is)."

- The Cut List: Who's in Desperate Need of a Win at UFC 136? (MMAFighting)

"UFC 136 may be the rare event to include two title fights, but that doesn't mean there aren't still some men fighting for their livelihoods in Houston this Saturday night. We all know that professional pugilism isn't the line of work you go into if you really crave job security, but some of this weekend's competitors are on much shakier ground than others, and it might take only one more loss to send them plummeting into the void of unemployment."

- Is the state of MMA’s heavyweight division lacking in quality? (FightOpinion)

"November & December features two of the most high-profile heavyweight fights in the history of the sport with Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem vs. Brock Lesnar. Outside of those individuals (alongside with Josh Barnett & Daniel Cormier), the current heavyweight picture is lackluster in comparison to other weight classes."

- Is UFC.com traffic on the Decline? (MMAPayOut)

"So here we have three different independent analytic services that are all in one way or another indicating a decline in visitor traffic for the UFC.com website. It’s really no surprise though as these results are indicative of the kind of 2011 the UFC has had with PPV buyrate averages falling and television ratings on a bit of a decline. We can now see some decrease in the promotions Internet based audience."

- Demian Maia: “Fighting for me is a chess game.” (Five Ounces of Pain)

"To submit my opponent without him hurting me or me hurting him (would be a perfect fight),” said Maia, who has won four “Submission of the Night” during his UFC career. “Fighting for me is a chess game. I’m not angry with my opponent. I just want to go in there and win.”
