UFC Universe News

It’s the deepest class in the world, so much so that the top of the 155-pound division could be turned on its ear by this time next year. UFC champion Frank Edgar escaped with his title after fighting to a draw against Gray Maynard at UFC 125. Edgar’s a fantastic fighter, but people doubt him because of his size and lack of finishing prowess. With challengers coming at him from all directions, will Edgar still be the No. 1 lightweight in the world in Apr. of 2012?

Maynard, Anthony Pettis, Gilbert Melendez and Jim Miller are probably all two wins away from being the undisputed top dog in the division.  With a hot 2011, Sean Sherk, Shinya Aoki, Melvin Guillard, Clay Guida, George Sotiropoulos and Evan Dunham could all force their way into the picture as well. Additional wild cards include Ben Henderson and Eddie Alvarez, if he can escape Bellator. Now that’s depth.

Melendez certainly did his part last weekend against Tatsuya Kawajiri. He wasn’t going to let judges screw up his first fight in front of Zuffa management. The Strikeforce lightweight champ made sure of that by unleashing a fury of elbows, knees and punches at Kawajiri.

Melendez is knocking at the UFC door for a fight against Edgar, Pettis, Maynard and the rest of the elite crew in the larger fight promotion.

Melendez says his camp might be the best in the world. Looking at his competition with the "Skrap Pack," it’s hard to disagree.

"It’s discouraging in camp training with Nick [Diaz], Jake [Shields] and Nate [Diaz]," Melendez told HDNet’s Inside MMA. "You question yourself, ‘am I ready for this fight?’ You know, you have these terrible days. I’m getting smashed by these guys sometimes. And then you doubt yourself. And then you walk in there and you dominate, and then you realize that’s how fantastic your team is. We’re evolving and we always constantly raise the bar against each other."

Yahoo!’s lead MMA writer Kevin Iole joined us to debate the future odds on an Edgar-Melendez fight and how he’d matchup against some of the other elite lightweights.

Here’s my top 10 in Apr. of 2012:

1. Gilbert Melendez

2. Frank Edgar

3. Eddie Alvarez

4. Jim Miller

5. Anthony Pettis

6. Melvin Guillard

7. Gray Maynard

8. George Sotiropoulos

9. Ben Henderson

10. Evan Dunham

Enlisting the help of Capita and Dustin Craven, Monster Energy capped their week of events at Telus WSSF 2011 with a laid back pipe jam where the goal was , according to Craven, to find the pleased medium between trying too hard, and not trying hard enough (any spin over 900 was disqualified as the former. Craven and crew added a log jam and an obligatory bell ring to mix up the pipe format. Giom Morisset took home the $5,000 first-place purse.

Alvaro Bautista was delighted to be back in action in practice for the Portuguese MotoGP event following his leg injury. The Suzuki rider had broken his left leg in the first race of the season in Qatar, but returned to action just over a month later in today’s session. Although he finished at the bottom of the times in both sessions, Bautista was elated to be able to ride again.

Fernando Vargas is out, now Cesar Gracie says Nick Diaz and company are working on a boxing match with Jeff Lacy. But there may be a new wildcard in this effort to get the Strikeforce 170-pound champion a boxing match. The talk of a crossover fight has piqued the interest of boxing promoter Lou DiBella.

DiBella told Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole that response from MMA fans via email and Twitter about the possibility of a Sergio Martinez-Diaz fight has been overwhelming. DiBella has embarked on a fact-finding mission to see if he can really match his star middleweight champ against Diaz.

Why would a top three pound-for-pound boxer waste his time fighting someone like Diaz, with small professional boxing experience? Sadly, DiBella can’t find Martinez (47-2, 26 KOs) a top-notch opponent or a network to take the fight. Martinez is coming off one-sided victories where he dismantled and finished Paul Williams and Serhiy Zdinziruk. While they are plenty of intriguing fights out there at 154 and 160 for Martinez, nothing has materialized. HBO turned down a Martinez-Sebastian Zbik fight in lieu of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. versus Zbik on June 4.

Diaz has long talked about wanting to box. He again complained about his MMA career during a postfight interview with HDNet following his victory over Paul Daley.

"They don’t have anyone else for me to fight now. I’m better than all the guys they have," Diaz said. "The guys they have ranked above me, I’m sure they don’t want to fight me. I don’t see much of a future in this sport for me. I seriously don’t."

Gracie told the network that Diaz wants to box, signed a deal to fight former world champion Fernando Vargas and was awaiting a response from Vargas’ camp (0:35 mark). Now it looks like Vargas’ comeback is in jeopardy because of undisclosed medical issues.

DiBella said he plotted on reaching out to UFC president Dana White and Gracie to inquire about Diaz’s ability to sign a boxing deal.

The television thoughts for a possible Martinez-Diaz fight range anywhere from finding a spot on a cable television network to putting it on pay-per-view. Making the fight an eight-round exhibition is also a possibility.

As far as Diaz’s MMA contract, Gracie said his fighter did not sign a special provisional deal with Zuffa. Gracie hasn’t spoken to Strikeforce’s Scott Coker about the topic.

"I don’t even know how much in charge of things he is any more," Gracie said. "Ultimately, it’s going to have to go through the UFC, so the only people to talk about it with would be them. What am I going to talk to Scott about? He doesn’t own anything any more."

According to Gracie, Diaz’s MMA contract has been "re-worked" and he’s now free to box. Stay tuned on this one.

Vernay will occupy the team’s second seat in place of Kiwi Dominic Storey in what is understood to be, at the moment, a one-off. “Unfortunately, I reckon it is unlikely that Dominic will return this season,” said team manager Jordi Pons.

See, it was a brilliant go to give Chuck Liddell an office in the Las Vegas headquarters of Zuffa. The new Vice President of Business Development can act, book the largest and best for mega-fights and if you need someone KO’d in the break room, he’s still got it!

This is amusing stuff from Liddell and the UFC. The best line comes from Liddell "conversation" with Tito Ortiz.

"I’m not sure Ortiz-Machida II is what the fans want," Liddell said. "Ain’t happening Tito, no one likes you."

To no one’s surprise Tito tweeted that the acting sucked.

Dana White chimed in later to try and cool down Ortiz.

Ortiz answered with a "thanks" and then Tito’s wife Jenna Jameson got wind of it this morning. Look out!

Then DW flipped on Jenna.

Liddell also knocks out a co-worker for several slips of the tongue. He reminded us of Mike Tyson in The Hangover (NSFW).

Round Five of the iRacing.com World Championship Series Road Racing (iWCSRR) paid a visit to the twisty and dusty turns of the Infineon Raceway, where Jesse Nieminen jumped his way to the front of the pack to claim his third victory of the season. The My3id Team sim-racer started from the second row of the grid in fourth position, and by the time the first round of pit-stops arrived, Nieminen was up to third position, after capitalising on an error by Ilkka Haapala. This is when the Finn launched his Williams-Toyota FW31 into the lead, as a hair-raisingly quick entry to pit lane and subsequent high-speed service brought him out alongside erstwhile leader Luca Masier and ahead of Greger Huttu, who’d over-shot his pit box. ?Everyone pitted on the same [...]
