This Saturday, February 25, the UFC will head to Japan to present UFC 144. In the evening’s main event Frankie Edgar will defend his UFC Lightweight title against former WEC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson.
While the UFC’s Lightweight division may not be one of the “glamour” weightclasses, it is without a doubt one of, if not the, deepest weightclasses in the UFC and when the two top fighters in the division face off on Saturday it should be something to see.

Recently a video emerged where Quinton “Rampage” Jackson took great exception to UFC commentator Joe Rogan’s analysis of his fighting style. He spent a good amount of time of the interview with Fighters Only tearing into Rogan with one of the highlights being, “He’s so one-dimensional, he’s so one-dimensional’ – he’s going on about jiu-jitsu the whole time. That’s why I’m like, ‘Oh here comes Joe Rogan’ and he’s all fake in his face like he’s not just picked apart your whole game

Over the course of a few months Anthony Pettis went from being next in line for a UFC Lightweight title shot to having to fight his way back into title shot consideration. 
Pettis took the WEC Lightweight crown from Benson Henderson at WEC 53 and was then lined up to face the winner of the January 1, 2011 Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard bout. The problem with that was, there was no winner. The fight finished in a draw and a rematch was booked, a rematch that was delayed by injury.
Pettis decided that

If Quinton “Rampage” Jackson defeats Ryan Bader at UFC 144 the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan may prove to be a bit uncomfortable as Jackson does not to be too big of a fan of the UFC commentator.
Jackson recently spoke to Fighters Only about his upcoming fight against Ryan Bader on Saturday, February 25. Other topics Jackson discussed were his return to Japan and what would happen in a perfect world if he defeated Bader, which quickly led to Jackson offering his opinion on Joe

At UFC 142 Edson Barboza ran his record to 10-0 when he stopped Terry Etim at 2:02 of the third round with what was the first spinning wheel kick knockout in UFC history. It was a spectacular finish, straightening Etim’s body as soon as the kick made impact, earning Barboza a handsome bonus for the night as he claimed both “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout of the Night” honors.
Barboza has a huge buzz surrounding him and will move up a level in competition for his next fight

Ever since his lackluster performance against Michael Bisping on December 3, Jason “Mayhem” Miller was left wondering what his UFC future held. He found out today, as it was announced that Miller will meet C.B. Dollaway at UFC 146, which will take place over Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas.
Before meeting Bisping, Miller had only one other UFC fight on his record, an April 2005 unanimous decision loss to Georges St-Pierre. There was a significant amount of hype going into the bout with

When Miesha Tate steps into the cage on March 3 to defend her Strikeforce title against Ronda Rousey it will mark her 15th professional MMA bout. Tate is brimming with confidence heading into her first title defense, with that confidence being something she gained very early in her career.

The UFC will head to Atlanta on April 21, 2012 for UFC 145, which will be headlined by a bout that will see Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones defend his title against Rashad Evans, a fight that many, including the combatants, have been looking forward to for some time.
The two former friends had once said that they would never face each other inside the Octagon, but once UFC gold came into the equation that talk went out the window and the relationship between the two became quiet contentious.

After being promised a “dog fight” in the UFC 143 main event, UFC fans could not be blamed if they were somewhat skeptical when Diego Sanchez proclaimed that his UFC of Fuel TV main event bout against Jake Ellenberger was going to be the same.  
After 15 minutes, I’m not sure if you could construe what occurred between Sanchez and Ellenberger as a dog fight, but even if you don’t there’s no denying that it was one of the more entertaining fights that fans witnessed
