Quality of non-Zuffa fighters

After watching decent amounts of the first two TUF episodes, and several Bellator episodes, I have a question for the BE community. How good are the TUF competitors in relation to fighters in Bellator and other non-Zuffa organizations??

UFC on FOX: The Ramifications on the UK market

Can any community members enlighten us on the potential loss of gratis UFC broadcasts in the UK market due to the souring of relations between ESPN and Zuffa? Is this going to be an exclusive contract across all markets?

UFC Personal Trainer

I trained BJJ for a while, but am currently lacking funds to continue training. I'm massively out of shape and would love to find an affordable way to do some kind of MMA. So my question is, while this is obviously no where near the real thing, would the upcoming game UFC Personal Trainer (fon Wii) be a worthwile, or useful, way to add a splash of MMA into attempt at getting in shape? http://www.ufcpersonaltrainer.com/

Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader

Jon Anik on ESPN Radio

Jon Anik is about to be a guest on ESPN Radio's V Show to discuss UFC 117.

Brock Lesnar (-125) opens as a slight favorite over Cain Velasquez (-105)

figured Lesnar would be a bigger favorite but I like Cain in this one.

For all people without showtime

Just fyi (sounds dumb, but im sure it will help a few people), if you don't have showtime, you can just order it and cancel tomorrow. they wont charge you 10$, they only charge you for how long you have it. I believe its around 35 cents a day. So, strikeforce for 35 cents= win right? (sorry showtime)

Shane Carwin talks about why he never quit his job

No the job is not about the money. I made more at UFC 111 (sponsor, bonus etc) then any of my fights combined. My sponsor dollars alone were bigger then my annual salary at my job. It is not about the money, Dana offered me an insane amount of money to quit my job last year. When I was coming out of college I had a lot of agents telling me they were going to make my dreams come true. Were talking more money then I may ever make. Then the phones just went silent. Not long after that my first wife left. It was me, a shit degree that kept me on the football field and my son. My mom had told me this day could come and that all we really own in life are the opportunities and examples we create for those around us. She was a single mom who raised three boys and she never complained. Here I was just having a kid, playing in the Sr. Bowl and wrestling and I was unhappy with my choices. I decided then that I would get my Engineering degrees and pursue that career and make sure I raised my son with the same set of values my mom had instilled in us. That a real man puts his families needs above his pursuits, that a real member of society holds down a job and contributes. Millions of dollars or the hopes of that kind of money will never make me take to focus off of setting an example for my kids, an example that they can strive for. Not everyone will play for the NFL or fight for the UFC but everyone can contribute to society and give a little back. I want my kids to know me as their father who worked hard enough to find time to live his dream instead of a guy who chased a dream while putting his life on hold. The UFC pays me well, my manager is doing things I could have only dreamed possible, and I have no need to work other then I like that Kamden knows me as his father who works for the water district.
