Shogun was as brutal and entertaining as Machida, but not as impressive in Dana White’s eyes. Props: @raiseyourhorns After watching…

UFC Welterweight recently took to Twitter to express his interest as a replacement for the injured Rory MacDonald. Calling out BJ Penn, Bahadurzada is willing to undergo the previously scheduled VADA testing routine prior to a fight with Penn, as well as donate his fight purse to charity. It appears that Bahadurzada, who is coming off of a flash knockout over Paulo Thiago, is highly motivated to prove his worth as a UFC commodity versus a true legend in Penn. Check out his comments here:

Joe Lauzon (22-7 MMA, 9-4 UFC) has earned 11 bonuses in his 13 UFC fights setting a new record for that accomplishment. Saturday at UFC on FOX 4, Lauzon earned a rare double bonus by submitting Jamie Varner (20-7-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) in the third round. He picked up two $50,000 checks for “Submission of the Night” and “Fight of the Night.”Though online databases largely list only nine bonuses for Lauzon, the UFC’s fighter profile page for him lists two more to put him at 11. In his UFC debut, he earned

In a series of post-fight interviews from FuelTV.com, UFC on Fox 4’s main fighters weigh in on the epic night of fights from Los Angeles. The man who will face either Jon Jones or Dan Henderson in his next fight describes his emphatic knockout of Ryan Bader. Lyoto Machida said he waited for Ryan Bader to come in with the right hand, and knew he was out, evident by how he stopped fighting. Machida appears super motivated to regain his title.
Shogun Rua spoke of his brutal win against a surprisingly tough

Junior dos Santos is the UFC Heavyweight Champion. It has been presumed that dos Santos would face Cain Velasquez in a title defense, but the champ has another fighter in his sights. Allistair Overeem was originally scheduled to fight the champion as the headline fight for UFC 146 before Overeem tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone that led to his eventual removal from the card, and a suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Overeem is out until December 27, 2012 and dos Santos is

UFC on Fox 4 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, is in the books and it has presented one of the most exciting cards in UFC history. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua fought Brandon Vera in another all-out war, extending his great legacy against an opponent who left every ounce of his being in the Octagon tonight. Rua utilized some good wrestling and top control, but his bread and butter came through in the striking department, as he landed many significant strikes with punches, kicks,

The UFC on Fox 4 card made up for the major disappointment that was UFC 149. Going into this event, UFC President Dana White promised that whomever won in the most spectacular fashion in the Main Event (Shogun Rua vs. Brandon Vera and Lyoto Machida vs. Ryan Bader) at the Staples Center would go on to face the winner of Dan Henderson vs. Jon Jones at the upcoming UFC 151 for a shot at the Light Heavyweight Title. The card ended with a pair of major knockouts by Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Lyoto “The Dragon”

The total bonus payout for this event came to $200,000. These numbers do not represent any pay-per-view bonuses o
