It was recently announced that the man who wins most impressively amongst the two headlining Light Heavyweight bouts at UFC on Fox 4 will find himself in line for the next title shot versus the winner of Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson. While this may have come as a bit of a surprise to many, it may also make the most sense for the UFC in terms of drawing power and excitement, something the promotion has been lacking recently.

Former UFC fighter and BJJ trainer Renzo Gracie spoke out recently against the words of one Chael P. Sonnen, becoming the latest in a long line of Brazilians to lambaste the outspoken number one contender. Gracie’s words stem from Sonnen’s statements that centered around slapping champion Anderson Silva’s wife “on the ass.” Gracie spoke the following, via Sherdog.com:
