Following a win at last Saturdays UFC Live 6: Cruz vs. Johnson, add another name to the long list of contenders at 170 lbs. While Anthony "Rumble" Johnson may not weigh close to that on fight night it is the weight that he competes at and wow, did he ever put on a show in D.C. this past Saturday Night.

When Mac Danzig and Matt Wiman step into the Octagon together for the second time Saturday night, one can only hope controversy doesn't rear its ugly head once again. The first time these two TUF alum's did battle back in Vancouver last summer Wiman got the win, albeit with an asterisk. Referee Yves Lavigne called the bout to a stop while Wiman was attempting to finish his opponent with a guillotine choke, key word being attempting. Neither Danzig or Wiman were satisfied with the decision.

Welterweight Chuck "Cold Steel" O' Neil has trained with some of the biggest names in MMA today, and it shows. Chuck is no stranger to the cameras having most recently taking part in TUF Season 13: Team Lesnar vs. Dos Santos. As a part of Team Lesnar, O' Neil's shining moment was his impressive D'arce choke victory over Team Dos Santos Javier Torres as the fight was coming to a close.

Jon Jones is in full control of his career inside and outside of the cage heading into UFC 135. I've seen a lot of writers say that he looks uncomfortable trading verbal shots with Rampage in the months, weeks and days leading up to his first career title defense Saturday Night. I beg, I don't even beg, I just flat-out differ. As a matter of fact I almost feel like I must be watching some completely different programming.

There was not shortage of Battles on the Bayou tonight as the 25th installment of UFC Fight Night went off without a hitch once again. Following the preliminary card which streamed on the UFC Facebook fan page, the main card featured a two TUF season winners and a multi-promotional champion.

Former Strikeforce Middleweight Champ Jake Shields hasn't really wowed anyone since his high-profile signing with the UFC last Summer. In his promotional debut last October he earned a split decision victory over Martin Kampmann via sleep jitsu. That earned him a title shot at GSP where the two managed to put one of the largest crowd in UFC fast asleep after an incredible night of fights leading up to the Main Event between the two.

The first event of a jam packed day of MMA is now in the books. The BAMMA 7 Event ended with Team Rough House product "Judo" Jimmy Wallhead notching the biggest win of his career over Frank "Twinkle Toes" Trigg via split decision. Also of note, despite not being able to finish the "face full of concrete" that was Jordan Radev, an overweight Paul "Semtex" Daley still added another man to a very long list of victims.

After putting on a KO of the Night performance in his first fight at home, what does Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira have planned for an encore? How about avenging his UFC 92 loss to Frank Mir for starters.
