UFC on Fox 4 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, is in the books and it has presented one of the most exciting cards in UFC history. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua fought Brandon Vera in another all-out war, extending his great legacy against an opponent who left every ounce of his being in the Octagon tonight. Rua utilized some good wrestling and top control, but his bread and butter came through in the striking department, as he landed many significant strikes with punches, kicks,

The UFC on Fox 4 card made up for the major disappointment that was UFC 149. Going into this event, UFC President Dana White promised that whomever won in the most spectacular fashion in the Main Event (Shogun Rua vs. Brandon Vera and Lyoto Machida vs. Ryan Bader) at the Staples Center would go on to face the winner of Dan Henderson vs. Jon Jones at the upcoming UFC 151 for a shot at the Light Heavyweight Title.

At a press conference yesterday White said: “Hughes is one of these guys that, I absolutely, positively want Matt Hughes to retire. What else is there to accomplish? The guy’s done everything.

With UFC on Fox 4 rapidly approaching, Light Heavyweight Ryan Bader knows his chance is right now. He knows that Saturday, he is fighting for a potential title shot that should he gain, may match him up against one of the two fighters to ever defeat him. He is also thankful to be in this position whatsoever, as two submission defeats to Jon Jones and Tito Ortiz, consecutively, left the former rising contender with some re-evaluating to do. Bader has since rebounded nicely by knocking out Jason Brilz then

UFC president Dana White said today that BJ Penn has potential to make it into the UFC Hall of Fame, but at the same time he thinks that his training habits have held him back from being considered among the greatest fighters of all time: “He’s absolutely a Hall of Famer.
