Having stepped up for the UFC on several occasions, Constantinos Philippou knows that he still has to deliver, and that’s exactly what he intends to do against Jorge Rivera when the two meet on the main card at UFC 133. Read More >>

Weigh-ins for this month’s “UFC on Versus 5: Hardy vs. Lytle” event
take place Saturday, Aug. 13, at Milwaukee’s Harley-Davidson Museum.

MMAjunkie.com previously reported the date of the ceremony, but the location had yet to be determined.

The following night’s Versus-broadcast event, which features a
welterweight scrap between sluggers Dan Hardy and Chris Lytle,
takes place at the nearby Bradley Center.

On top of all the bad luck that’s befallen Rashad Evans in the past 12
months, he has a lot to lose going into his next fight – far more than
his opponent.

When Evans meets Tito Ortiz a second time in the main event of UFC 133, he will put his title
aspirations on the line against a man who just this past month was one
foot outside the promotion.

Ortiz, on the other hand, has little to lose. After stepping in for an
injured Phil Davis on late notice, he’s gone from perpetual whipping boy
to savior of the octagon, the star of the TV promo – a fan favorite.

Ex-Strikeforce champ Marloes Coenen appeared to have called Zuffa, LLC co-owner Dana White’s bluff on Thursday night.

However, according to the UFC president, his words remain true.

Coenen, along with her Golden Glory teammates Jon Olav Einemo and
Valentijn Overeem were cut for one simple reason, according to White: Zuffa simply can’t do
business the way the Dutch firm would prefer. Change one simple demand – one dictated by the government – and you’re welcome back with open arms.
