Jon Jones Wants Velasquez in 2014 and Retirement at 30

With Georges St-Pierre talking about possible retirement, fellow UFC Champion Jon Jones is speaking about his retirement as well, but he isn't finished yet.  Jon Jones, who is 26, is looking to retire by the time that he is 30.  Before doing that, he would like to put on a super fight against Cain Velasquez before the end of 2014.  With the Silva super fight pretty much diminished, Jones has admitted that he has really been considering a fight with Cain Velasquez, the current UFC Heavyweight Champion.

A fight with Anderson Silva was something that the UFC was seriously considering if both Silva and Jones had survived their recent title defenses, but Silva failed to defend his title against Weidman.  A fight with Cain Velasquez could be another great move for the UFC to make to get people to tune in. It will be a while before this fight could happen considering both men have contenders lined up in front of them already and both men having injuries.

Tim Kennedy Wants Bisping, Worried That Bisping Will Chicken Out

After his recent KO victory over Rafael Natal at UFC Fight for the Troops earlier this month, Tim Kennedy mentioned that he would be open to a fight with Michael Bisping as a possible next opponent.  Bisping agreed and said he was willing to fight Kennedy and that Kennedy should go ahead and make the call to the UFC so that the two of them can fight, but recently Bisping who is still chasing a UFC Middleweight Title Fight has stated that he would like a higher ranked opponent than Tim Kennedy.  Kennedy feels that Bisping is trying to dodge him and feels that he will chicken out of the fight believing that he feels he will lose to Kennedy.  Bisping then responded on that he has never backed out of a fight and that if Kennedy wants the fight, he should just ask for it.

This would be a great fight to make considering where both of these guys are in their careers.  Both men are possible title challengers in the next few years and need impressive wins to get there and a win over the other could be big for both men.  Big for Bisping in the fact that a victory for him would mean that he can still hang with the up-and-comers of the UFC Middleweight Division.  Big for Kennedy in the fact that he can better a long time contender in the UFC.  Only time will tell if this fight ever comes into fruition.

Ben Askren Meeting with Lorenzo Fertitta

On Monday, Bellator Welterweight Champion,  Ben Askren,  will be meeting with the UFC's CEO and Chairman, Lorenzo Fertitta to discuss a possible future in the UFC's Welterweight Division.  Dana White insists that he is still not interested in signing Ben Askren despite Bellator not fighting for Askren.

Recently Ben Askren has called out UFC Welterweight Champion, GSP and his training partner Rory MacDonald stating that he would fight them and if he lost would not collect pay for losing.  Askren is a confident welterweight that the UFC should at least take a chance on despite his 'boring' style.  He has a smothering wrestling style that seems to overwhelm all of his opponents.  GSP has been criticized many times for laying and praying, while Askren still advances his positions while on the ground.  If Askren were to further develop his striking I think that he would be a dangerous opponent to any welterweight in the UFC, even the current dominant champ St-Pierre.

Should the UFC sign Askren?

Yes

No

Rumors of Rashad and Cormier

Rashad Evans has hinted that he may possibly be facing Daniel Cormier in Cormier's first fight in the UFC's Light Heavyweight Division soon.  Nothing has been confirmed or set in stone, but Evans revealed on UFC Tonight that there had been talking about it the fight possibly happening.  Stay posted to Tough Spar MMA as we will follow this story and make sure that we inform you as soon as we get more details.

Machida-Mousasi, Jacare-Carmont

Two HUGE Middleweight fights have been scheduled for UFC Fight Night 36. The event will be headlined by former MMA champions Lyoto Machida and Gegard Mousasi and co-headlined by Francis Carmont and Jacare Souza. The event will take place in Brazil on February 15th.

This will be an event with four of the best that the UFC has to offer. We are in for an amazing night of fights in February and I cannot wait. All four of the fighter s have world class skills and are sure to got out and perform to the best of their abilities especially considering how close they all are to getting a title shot. I feel that a win for Machida or Souza could be a guarenteed title shot depending on how the UFC decides to eliminate the other if they both win. I feel like Carmont would be one win away with Mousasi being two fights away from a title shot.  This will be a night to look forward to.

Anthony Pettis Injured, Henderson Returns to the Octogon

With Anthony Pettis suffering with an injured knee, Anthony Pettis is being pulled out of his title fight with Josh Thomson at UFC on Fox 9.  That fight is being entirely pulled from that card and will instead be headlined by Demetrius Johnson versus Joseph Benavidez II.  Since that fight was originally scheduled to be the headlining fight for the TUF 18 finale, Nate Diaz's fight with Gray Maynard will be headlining the TUF 18 finale.  Also with Pettis out of his title fight, the UFC has decided to put Thomson in a fight with former UFC Lightweight Champion, Benson Henderson in January 2014. This will be Henderson's first fight since losing the title in late August. 

UFC 167 Recap w/ Prediction Results

Last night was  a very entertaining night of fights that ended with a very controversial split decision win for the UFC Welterweight title.

We will begin with the headlining fight of the prelims. Donald Cerrone who was on a two-fight losing streak coming into his fight with Evan Dunham and he desperately needed a win last night and he got it.  He was able to out-strike and out-grapple Dunham and eventually finish him on the ground with a beautiful triangle choke in the second round.  The question now becomes what should Donald Cerrone do now after his win?  Should he continue to fight at 155 or should he make the move to 145 as he had stated he would do win, lose or draw?

The first fight on the main card was a fast-paced fight between Tim Elliot and Ali Bagautinov. It was an interesting fight in which both men participated in excellent striking exchanges which involved Tim Elliot landing more volumes of strikes and Bagautinov landing the more devastating strikes.  It was a match in which I had Bagautinov winning rounds 1 ad 3, but felt the fight could go either way depending on what the judges saw was more important, volume or clean, power strikes. In that fight the judges chose accurate, clean, power strikes.  The question for this match up would be how many wins would Bagautinov be away from a title fight and who will he face next?

The next fight was the first of three fights at 170 lbs on the main card. Tyron Woodley faced Josh Koscheck in a match that ended in the first round by way of TKO.  Koscheck hurt Woodley early in the round with a straight right hand that made Woodley begin to step backwards, but Woodley survived that and some impressive grappling from Koscheck in order to rock Koscheck with a right hand and send him flat on his back.  The question I have is how would Woodley perform is he is given a top ten opponent for his next fight?

After that match was GSP's training partner, Rory MacDonald taking on Robbie Lawler in the second welterweight fight of the main card.  After promising to be more exciting than his last fight, we saw MacDonald do exactly the same thing he did in his last fight, which was boring us to death.  Robbie Lawler won a split decision after he out-struck MacDonald and kept pressure on him the entire fight.  There were moments when MacDonald did get the better of Lawler, but those moments were few and very short.  What will happen to Rory MacDonald after putting out two terrible performances?  Also will this win put Lawler in the top 5 in the UFC's Welterweight Division? Also who will Robbie Lawler face next?

The co-main event of the evening included a bout between friends and coworkers, Rashad Evans and Chael Sonnen.  It was a match up in which Rashad quickly put away Chael Sonnen on the ground due to strikes.  Who will the UFC put against Evans who has recovered from his two-fight winning streak?  Does Evans still have the ability to become the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship again?

In the main event we saw a very close match in which we could have seen either man get their hand raised at the end of the fight, but Georges St-Pierre retained his title by split decision.  The fight was too close to call, but (contrary to popular belief) I did score the fight for the champ giving him rounds 1,3 and 5.  There is also controversy as to whether or not Johny Hendricks tapped out to a submission in the first round of the fight.  Video below:

I think that it is obvious to see that Hendricks didn't tap, but many people are entertaining this notion of GSP having a submission ignored.  After the fight St-Pierre hinted at possibly needing some time away to deal with some things in his personal life.  Dana White had a conversation with the champ and says that GSP will overcome his personal issues and will not be retiring.  He also stated that GSP owes Hendricks a rematch they look forward to putting that together.

Below is a prediction on how I felt that the event would play out and the actual results that occured:

Sefo and WSOF's 180 Degree Turn on Palhares

When Rousimar Palhares was discharged from the UFC, Bellator's Bjorn Rebney and WSOF's Ray Sefo both expressed extreme disinterest in signing Palhares to either organization.  Now WSOF President, Ray Sefo, believes that Rousimar Palhares could possibly deserve a second chance to compete in a major promotion and has spoke with his team in regards to possibly being the organization to grant that opportunity.  Sefo has stated that nothing is set in stone and they will further look into the matter of possibly bring Palhares into the WSOF.

What are your thoughts?  Be sure to comment below on how you feel about the possible move for Palhares.

WSOF Signs Jessica Aguilar

It appears that WSOF is looking to get involved in the rapidly growing WMMA world as it has been reported that WSOF has taken that first step by signing former Bellator star Jessica Aguilar. Jessica is 16-4 and had a 5-1 during her time in Bellator.

Fitch Believes He's the Number One Guy in the WSOF

After defeating Marcelo Alfaya by split decesion at WSOF 6, Jon Fitch believes that he is the only contender that makes sense for Steve Carl's first WSOF Welterweight title defense.  Steve Carl captured the title on the same night that Fitch defeated Marcelo Alfaya.  Fitch has stated that he knows that a match with Josh Burkman could possibly occur but is willing to fight him despite how he feels about his contender status.

I think that Fitch may be right in his assumption that he is the number one contender due to the fact that the WSOF Welterweight Division isn't that deep.  I feel that Fitch could be next in line with another win or two in the WSOF.  I think that a clash between Fitch and Burkman would be necessary before either one of them could truly face Steve Carl.

Pickett Looks to 125 lbs for the Future

Twitter continues to method that UFC fighters use to get their fans the latest on what's going on with them. The latest tweet to get attention come from UFC Bantamweight Brad Pickett who revealed to his followers that he was planning a drop to the UFC Flyweight Sivision and is hoping to make his 125 lb debut on the London card in March 2014.

I think that Pickett definitely could make the 125 lb limit and find success there. He will have a power that few men in that division will have. I would love to see a potential bout with John Dodson or Ian McCall.

Jake Ellenberger and Tarec Saffiedine in Singapore

The UFC has announced that Jake Ellenberger and the last Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Tarec Saffiedine will be going to battle in Singapore as the headlining bout for the Asian card.

This will be Jake Ellenberger's first fight since his boring decision loss to Rory MacDonald in July of this year.  This will be Tarec Saffiedine's first fight in the UFC. Saffiedine defeated Nate Marquardt in January to become the last Strikeforce Welterweight Champion has yet to fight since then due to injuries.

This match has the potential to be a barn burner if both men go out and perform how they have in the past. It is an important match for both of the men who both need a win for different reasons.  Jake Ellenberger needs to make up for his poor performance against MacDonald in order to stay in the mix at 170 lbs.  Saffiedine needs to win in order to get in the mix at 170 lbs. Though Saffiedine was the last Strikeforce champion, he still needs to make a case in the UFC by defeating Ellenberger and extending his current 4-fight win streak.

Velasquez and Werdum Targeted for April in Mexico

It has been reported that the UFC is targeting Cain Velasquez's next title fight to be against Fabricio Werdum in April of 2014. The fight is being planned to be the UFC's first fight in Mexico.

Mexico makes sense for Cain's next title defense considering he is the biggest name in the UFC of Mexican decent and the baddest man in the UFC's Heavyweight division.  I feel like the tickets will sell out instantly with Cain as the headliner. If you don't believe me, just replay UFC 166 and listen to the eruption in the Houston crowd as the Hispanic-inspired theme song came on when Cain walked out to the Octogon. That eruption resembled that of GSP in Canada or Anderson Silva in Brazil.

This is a great move for the UFC as they further develop their global expansion around the world.  The Spanish speaking community will be very pleased with the move and bringing an event to that area will definitely open the door to other events in the future if this event is successful.

Machida/Mousasi in the Works

The UFC is currently looking to put Lyoto Machida in his  second Middleweight bout in early 2014 as it has been reported that Machida and Gegard Mousasi are being target to headline a UFC Fight Night event in Brazil February 8th.

This will be an excellent match between two elite former MMA champions.  This will be Mousasi's first fight since his UFC debut in April in Sweden. Machida is fresh off of a knockout victory over Mark Munoz at UFC Fight Night 30. I see this as being the potential for a FOTN as long as both men deliver.
