Aaron Simpson will honor Pat Tillman at UFC on Fuel 4
"I can remember exactly where I was when I found out Pat was killed, and how I handled it, which wasn't good," Simpson told Cagewriter. To honor Tillman and his legacy, Simpson will wear the number 42 on his fight shorts for his bout with Kenny Robertson at UFC on Fuel 4.
"I want people who don't know him to at least give notice to who he was. Look him up. Honor his family, his wife, and bring more viewership to his foundation, the Pat Tillman Foundation."
Tillman surprised the sporting world when left a promising and lucrative NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals to become an Army Ranger after the September 11th attacks. He was killed in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004.
He went to high school in the San Jose area, where Simpson's fight will take place. It seemed like the perfect time for Simpson to honor Tillman. Kevin agreed.
"I texted Kevin, and he said, 'Pat would really appreciate it. Pat would have loved this,'" Simpson said.
"He didn't want to be known for what he did in serving the military. He was the kind of guy that wasn't about himself or bringing recognition to himself or what he did. He was a team player. I don't want to make too big. In a way, it's a kind of personal thing. I just want to remember him."
The Pat Tillman Foundation gives scholarships to military families. Support them here.

Mark Munoz and Chris Weidman fighting for a title shot at UFC on Fuel 4
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.
Who will walk out of the main event closer to the title shot? Tell us in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Chael Sonnen details the rough streets of his youth
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.

PSG add Marco Verratti, shoot up European charts
Three weeks ago, long before the club signed Thiago Motta and Zlatan Ibrahimovic away from AC Milan, PSG were considered fringe contenders for the 2012 – 2013 Champions League title. According to multiple bookmakers, the Parisians faced odds of around 28 to 1 in Europe’s flagship tournament back on July 1.
But what a difference a few weeks can make.

Nate Marquardt, Luke Rockhold big winners at Strikeforce
Former UFC contender Nate Marquardt won the vacant Strikeforce welterweight championship with a knockout of Tyron Woodley. Marquardt controlled the stand-up for the first two rounds and held off Woodley's takedown attempts.
In the third round, Woodley knocked Marquardt down, but couldn't finish him immediately. While Woodley was still working on the ground, the referee stood them up. Marquardt made his move in the fourth, hitting Woodley with three upper cuts that knocked Woodley out for the first time in his career.
