Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen will coach TUF; Title fight set for April of next year

Apparently, even if Dana White could have gotten Anderson Silva to say ‘yes’ to a superfight with Jon Jones, that fight would have had to wait for quite some time anyhow. Breaking news comes that Jones will act as coach on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, and will be pitted against former Middleweight title challenger and trash-talk specialist Chael Sonnen. The two were almost on their way to a UFC 151-saving bout on September 1st before the now-infamous incident of Jones turning down the fight.

Almost healed up from a partially torn MCL, Dan Henderson is a friend and training partner of the polarizing Chael Sonnen. However, that does not mean that he is happy about how the 205 lb. title scene has played out. Hoping for his shot at Jones, Hendo was supposedly matched up with

Newly motivated, Rampage wants Glover Teixeira fight next

After being forced to withdraw from his scheduled UFC 153 bout with surging prospect Glover Teixeira, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has taken to Twitter to reiterate his desire to face Teixeira.
