To promote UFC 152, the UFC came up with a creative way to have flyweight title contenders Demetrius Johnson and Joe Benavidez and middleweights Brian Stann and Michael Bisping face off.
Yep, they're just hanging around the Edgewalk of the CN Tower, 1,168 feet in the air. Notice how Bisping has his feet on the platform but Stann is precariously dangling?

After a decorated career with the Canadian promotion MFC, Ryan Jimmo made a memorable UFC debut. He knocked out Anthony Perosh in seven seconds at UFC 149 in Calgary on Saturday.
Light heavyweight Jimmo took two steps in at Perosh before unloading a massive right hand that knocked Perosh right against the fence. He followed up with a strike on the ground, but it wasn't needed. Referee Josh Rosenthal stopped the fight, and Jimmo's win streak was extended to 17.
"I'm very happy, Joe. I'm very happy," Jimmo said to commentator Joe Rogan. "He's a big strong guy, so I went at him."
UFC president Dana White was pleased with Jimmo's debut.
"WOW!!! Ryan Jimmo just tied the fastest KO in UFC history!" White tweeted.
Jimmo is now 17-1 and 1-0 in the UFC. Before fighting with the UFC, Jimmo showed why a fighter shouldn't give up after one loss. He was knocked out in his first fight, but has won 17 bouts since then. Though he was impressive in Canada, Jimmo was only known in the U.S. to the most fervent of fight fans, but now he will be known for a seven-second debut.
Perosh was on a three-fight win streak before ending up on the wrong end of an MMA record. He is now 13-7, and 3-2 in his most recent streak in the UFC.

In case you were wondering, female mixed martial arts is still very much alive and kicking. The latest installment of the Invicta Fighting Championships is this Saturday night, and in August, Strikeforce returns to Showtime with a main event that will feature champ Ronda Rousey attempting to remove challenger Sarah Kaufman's arm in the most painful, non-surgical way possible. Yep. Wimmins. They be fightin'. So in the spirit of all this impending violence perpetrated by the fairer sex, Cagewriter tracked down 125-pound female fighter Munah Holland, who knocked out Strikeforce veteran Carina Damm two weeks ago at Matrix Fights (a regional show in Philadelphia) to get her perspective on things. She is, after all, on the front lines.
Things to know about Holland: she's a product of the Tiger Schulmann MMA system, and manages one of the organization's gyms in New Jersey. In 2004, she won the prestigious Golden Gloves amateur boxing tournament, transitioned to professional fighting with Chuck Norris' ill-fated kickboxing promotion the World Combat League, and now fights in the cage, shimmying out of the clutches of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts and feeding them knuckles until they fall. In her MMA debut, Holland brutalized Kim Couture for three rounds; more recently, she's KO'd top New England fighter Marianna Kheyfets in Bellator and put away Damm.
That's Holland. Here's what she had to say about some of her fellow fighters:
On Strikeforce bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey - "Ronda is, I would say, this deliciously deadly, amazing person. She has something that, when I watch her fight, is incredibly contained, and at the same time, explosive. It's really fun to watch, and her ground game is sick. She is definitely a force to be reckoned with, no matter her opponent in front of her. I can't wait for the upcoming fight between her and Sarah Kaufman — I think that's going to be a great fight."
On top Strikeforce bantamweight challenger and former champ Sarah Kaufman - "I've watched Sarah for a long time, because as a female martial artist, she was one of the girls I knew about first. She's got really, really powerful hands — like, lead in her hands. She's very dangerous. She's constantly evolving… got a lot of heart, and like Ronda, she's a force to be reckoned with. And Sarah has some very good wrestling, so it's going to be interesting, because if Sarah can maintain her wrestling defense and use her hands and use her range, it could be a really interesting fight. If it stays standing, Sarah can do some damage with her hands. We haven't really seen Ronda's chin, we don't know how much damage it can take." Her prediction for the August 18 Strikeforce title fight? "If it stays standing, Sarah's going to have the advantage. If it goes to the ground, my gut says Ronda."
On former Strikeforce bantamweight champ Miesha Tate - "I love Miesha. I once said this out loud and people heard me, but if you have a bum that looks like Miesha's, you've got to plaster it everywhere. She's beautiful, she's tough as nails. And that fight with Ronda, that was sick."
On former Strikeforce featherweight champ Gina Carano - "Gina, I think, has done a world of good for female fighting in general. She's chosen her own path, and gone the way she feels where her future lies. You have to do whatever it is you have to do in this world to have a life and a good living, but I thank her for exposing female martial artists to the world, and making it important for people to watch and making it exciting for people to watch, and proving that, regardless of whether it's females or males, it's just a great sport to watch. She proved that the numbers can be there, that the seats can be filled for female mixed martial artists just as they can for men."
On former Strikeforce featherweight champ Cris "Cyborg" Santos — "Cyborg would scare most grown men away in the cage. The first time I saw Cris Cyborg, I was like, 'Uh, this woman is just frightening.' And frightening in a good way. What a beast. What a beast of mass proportions. This girl… frightening strength, amazing ability coming from Chute Boxe, can really take so much. She's just like a pitbull. She's just going to keep on coming and keep on coming."
On female MMA pioneer Tara LaRosa - "Long before Gina or Cyborg came into the picture, you'd hear about Tara just making her way through one person after another in the circuit — especially in New Jersey, where she's got a lot of fans. For me, she was definitely an inspiration. We can do it, we can do it really well and with a lot of class."
On hoping to fight in the UFC one day - "Oh yeah. Some little girls want to grow up and wear pink slippers, but for me, the thought of being in the UFC… I hope it gets to that point for women, I hope it gets to that point in my MMA lifetime. We can only hope for that. Who wouldn't want to be in that arena?"
On Dana White reconsidering his stance on not allowing women in the UFC's Octagon - "I don't know any woman who wouldn't want to see women in the UFC, and I hope Dana White considers that at some point. Because we'll bring the crowds, we'll fill the seats, and people really enjoy watching it."

Renan Barao won the UFC bantamweight interim belt by taking a decision from Urijah Faber on Saturday night. He exuberantly celebrated right after the win, and the celebrations did not stop after he left Calgary.
He brought the belt home to Brazil and posed in front of Christ the Redeemer, his home country's most famous sight.
He went back to Nova Uniao to celebrates with his teammates. Why so serious, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo?
Perhaps Aldo is just cranky because no one surrounded HIS belt with brownies.
Cheer up, Jose. Renan is sharing his brownies. Sharing is caring, even among UFC champions.

Brian Ebersole is on an 11-fight win streak, and took his bout with James Head just a month after beating T.J. Waldburger. Helping out the UFC by taking a fight on short notice will usually land a fighter on UFC president Dana White's good side. However, White is not a fan of Ebersole's manscaping, which usually has his chest hair shaved into a "hairrow" pointing up.
MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani tweeted the bad news during the UFC 149 press conference.
Ouch. For some reason, White is not a fan of fighters expressing themselves in the cage. Jason Miller and Tom Lawlor's entrances also drew his ire. It's a shame, because with more than 400 fighters on the roster, little touches of personality make a fighter stand out. Ebersole hasn't lost with the hairrow, so why would he stop now? Rock that hairrow, Brian.

All of the fighters from UFC 149 made weight for Saturday night's card in Calgary. It was a low-key weigh-in. The biggest news of the day was that two Octagon Girls who haven't worn the UFC bikini in years were on-duty. Rachelle Leah, who moved onto to other UFC hosting duties, and Logan Stanton, who hasn't worked for the UFC since December of 2009, were both onstage for the weigh-ins.
Complete weights for the event, courtesy of MMA Fighting, are below:
Main Card
Urijah Faber (135) vs. Renan Barao (135)
Hector Lombard (185.5) vs. Tim Boetsch (186)
Cheick Kongo (231) vs. Shawn Jordan (250)
Brian Ebersole (171) vs. James Head (170)
Chris Clements (170) vs. Matt Riddle (170.8)

In Monday's discussion of middleweights looking to inch closer to a shot at Anderson Silva and the championship, two names were not discussed: Mark Munoz and Chris Weidman. Since they already have a fight, they don't need to lobby for the right fight, like Michael Bisping, Alan Belcher and Brian Stann do.
They'll face each other on Wednesday night at UFC on Fuel 4. For Munoz, a win means a shot at Silva.
"With a win over Chris Weidman, I'm going to prove that I should have the title shot," Munoz told MMAjunkie.com Radio.
Weidman told MMA Fighting he is also seeking a title shot. After a lackluster win over Demian Maia in January, he wants to make it crystal clear he deserves the next shot at the belt.
"I'm fighting to make a statement in this fight," he said. "It would be my fifth win in the UFC in a row, I've fought a lot of tough guys, veterans in this sport. I really didn't have any easy fights, so I want to make a statement. I would love a chance against Anderson Silva, I think I really match up good against him, and I mean, I would love a shot, so we'll see. I really just want to make a statement in this fight. I want to make it blatantly obvious that I should be the one fighting Anderson Silva. That's the goal."
Both men have NCAA Division I wrestling backgrounds, though Munoz was a national champion for Oklahoma State while Weidman wrestled for less-acclaimed Hofstra. They are also coming in riding win streaks: four in a row for Munoz and five in a row for Weidman.

I'll admit it. I was suffering from Chael Sonnen fatigue. Though he never fails to give a good soundbite, it's also never apparent if you're hearing from Chael Sonnen the man or Chael Sonnen the character. I am ready for UFC 148 and his fight with Anderson Silva to just get here.
But after watching this video, my Chael fatigue was lifted, and I knew you lovely Cagereaders had to see it.

After the preliminary card, UFC 149 seemed to be headed towards classic status. The momentum from exciting performances early in the night would have to carry over to the main card, right? As we soon found out, wrong. Whether it was injury, short notice or "Octagon jitters," most of the pay-per-view had none of the magic from early in the night.
Who were those fighters who stood out? Here are Cagewriter's Three Stars. Tell yours in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.
No. 1 star -- Ryan Jimmo: Two fighters with long careers in other promotions made their UFC debuts at UFC 149. Though Hector Lombard came in a steam-powered locomotive of hype, it was Jimmo who had the memorable fight, knocking out Anthony Perosh in just seven seconds. He tied the UFC record for fastest knockout and won a $65,000 Knockout of the Night bonus.
No. 2 star -- Matthew Riddle: On less than a month notice, Riddle took out Chris Clements with a third round arm-triangle choke after a thrilling bout to kick off the pay-per-view card. (See? Not the entire PPV was terrible.) He pulled off that win after driving from Texas to Calgary so that his pregnant wife could be with him for the fights. Did I mention they also have twins at home? I'm exhausted on his behalf. Hopefully, the $65,000 Submission of the Night bonus will buy Riddle some rest and relaxation.
No. 3 star -- Francisco Rivera: Coming right after Jimmo's knockout, poor Rivera didn't have a chance at the Knockout of the Night bonus. However, he still delivered with a huge left to send Roland Delorme to the canvas with a first-round knockout.

You know you've made it as an athlete when a Major League Baseball team asks you to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at one of their games. Such is the case with Strikeforce middleweight champ Luke Rockhold. Two weeks ago, Rockhold was handling challenger Tim Kennedy in the cage; on Monday, he gets to drop by the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and put one across home plate (the A's are playing the Tampa Bay Rays, if that means anything to you). Of course, this isn't the first time that an MMA fighter has been granted this honor. Other examples include:

To call the UFC's relationship with former champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson rocky is an understatement. With just one fight left on his contract, the UFC wanted to give him one last fight to remember.
What Bon Voyage gift did they give Jackson? A fight with phenom Glover Teixeira in Brazil in October at UFC 153. Teixeira, you may remember, is the fighter who blew through Kyle Kingsbury at UFC 146. His winning streak dates back to 2006, and his last six wins were by submission or decision.
Jackson, on the other hand, is 2-3 in his last five fights. His last win by stoppage was against Wanderlei Silva in 2008.
The UFC is also doing Jackson no favors by sending him to fight Teixeira in Brazil. Though Jackson spent much of his career in Japan with Pride, few non-Brazilian fighters have found success in the UFC's three cards there in the past year. Brazilians are 13-3 against foreigners across UFC 134, 142 and 147.
The two questions about this fight are will Jackson be able to stop the Teixeria hype train, and will he keep fighting after the bout is over? He has made it clear he doesn't want to stick with the UFC, but will Jackson fight elsewhere, or move on from MMA? Tell us what you think his next move should be.

Jackson, on the other hand, is 2-3 in his last five fights. His last win by stoppage was against Wanderlei Silva in 2008.
The UFC is also doing Jackson no favors by sending him to fight Teixeira in Brazil. Though Jackson spent much of his career in Japan with Pride, few non-Brazilian fighters have found success in the UFC's three cards there in the past year. Brazilians are 13-3 against foreigners across UFC 134, 142 and 147.
The two questions about this fight are will Jackson be able to stop the Teixeria hype train, and will he keep fighting after the bout is over? He has made it clear he doesn't want to stick with the UFC, but will Jackson fight elsewhere, or move on from MMA? Tell us what you think his next move should be.
