Overeem, suspended until late December for his well-documented drug screen failure, had been publicly disparaged by the always outspoken White.

UFC President Dana White has gone on record multiple times saying that Anderson “Spider” Silva is the greatest fighter or the greatest martial artist in the world. Last night’s post fight press conference was no exception as White summed it up with: “He is an amazing fighter, he’s an artist with his hands and feet. The guy is a freak of nature. He

Tito Ortiz voiced his opinions post-fight at UFC 148 in what would be his final fight pres conference. He had several good quotes concerning his career ending bout with Forrest Griffin, a fight that he lost by unanimous decision. Ortiz was not surprisingly upset with the outcome, thinking that he did more damage and was looking to finish the fight, but still gave respect to Griffin.

The monumental rematch between Middleweight champion Anderson Silva and arch-nemesis Chael Sonnen began as we may have expected, with Sonnen looking for the double leg early and securing it. He spent the rest of the round in top position, scoring some strikes on Silva and looking for a few submissions to no avail. As the second round started, Sonnen pushed Silva up against the cage. He appeared to have gone for a spinning backfist, as he was previously seen training. This one was wild and found no home, as

MMA H.E.A.T.’s Karyn Bryant interviewed an unusually reserved Chael Sonnen at the UFC 148 open workouts in Las Vegas. In what has been billed as the fight (or at least the rematch) of the year against Anderson Silva, Sonnen, surprisingly claims that he still has to lose 20 pounds before tomorrow’s weigh-ins: “I am 20lbs over and have 24 hours to go, I’m going to go through a lot of discomfort, but I’ll make the weight.”

Future UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz will fight his final battle against Forrest Griffin at UFC 148, ending their trilogy and marking the end of an extremely influential MMA career. While Ortiz may be retiring, he is still a fighter at heart and heads into the bout with a gameplan, hoping to go out on a high note.

UFC Featherweight Chad Mendes was the last man to face class champion Jose Aldo, and while that fight did not go exactly how Mendes had planned, it has given a wealth of valuable MMA title fight experience. The KO loss to Aldo remains the only blemish on Mendes’ 11-1 record, and he seeks to rebound strongly at this Saturday’s UFC 148 in Las Vegas. Facing Cody Mackenzie in preliminary card action, many believe Mendes will find himself in another Featherweight title fight one day. Speaking to Fightline.com,

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:
