Ten-year MMA veteran Phil Baroni makes no attempt to shy away from the situation.

Winless in his past two fights, “The New York Bad Ass” recognizes that
victory is imperative at UFC 125 if he hopes to continue his pursuit of
octagon success.

And while some fighters often shy away from admitting additional
pressures that accompany their matchups, Baroni welcomes the idea of
what failure would cost.

Greg Jackson has found himself in the unenviable position of defending his life’s work – against a man to whom he owes his livelihood.

More than a month after UFC president Dana White singled him out as a partial cause of a dud main event at UFC 122, Jackson has broken his silence.

“To say (that) everybody doesn’t try to finish and that it’s a consistent problem with us when the exact 180-degree opposite is true – I don’t think there’s another team that can claim half of all bonuses given by the UFC,” Jackson today told MMAjunkie.com.

In lieu of a planned bout with Jon Fitch, Jake Ellenberger instead is expected to meet welterweight prospect Carlos Eduardo Rocha on the televised main card of UFC 126.

Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com verbal agreements are in place with contracts on the way.

UFC 126 takes place Feb. 5 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view.

An intriguing light-heavyweight bout between Thiago Silva and Brandon Vera has been salvaged from untelevised purgatory.

Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com the onetime preliminary-card bout has been promoted to the pay-per-view main card of “UFC 125: Resolution.”

The event takes place Jan. 1 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by UFC lightweight champ Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard.

Perhaps we’ve witnessed too many uninspired fights lately. Or perhaps
the HDNet Fights archive team simply has a knack for finding vicious and
gruesome knockouts.

Either way, this week’s edition of HDNet Fights Video Vault features undoubtedly one of the most violent KOs of 2010.

The fight took place this past month at World Victory Road’s Sengoku
Raiden Championships 15 event in Japan and pitted surging Maximo “Maxi” Blanco
against former King of Pancrase Kiuma Kunioku.

It may not be the fight he initially expected, but Benji Radach returns to fighting after more than a year and a half out of the cage when he steps in with Ovince St. Preux at Saturday night’s Strikeforce event. Read More >>
