    Many words have been used to describe Chuck Liddell during his storied mixed martial arts career. Until recently, "shredded" wasn’t one of them. During Thursday’s press conference at GM Place, however, that is exactly the way UFC President Dana White chose to describe him.

    Although Tyson Griffin admits he felt no hesitation when agreeing to fight Xtreme Couture teammate Evan Dunham at UFC 115, it wasn't because he's willing to put relationships on the line for the sake of his career. In fact, Griffin is very clear in his stance that he'd never fight family - it's just that Dunham isn't family.

    Martin Kampmann’s return to the UFC octagon is a mere four days away, but don’t be surprised if he’s still crossing his fingers that he and his opponent, Paulo Thiago, get there healthy. The way things have been going for Kampmann, the chances of one of the two tripping and spraining an ankle before this weekend seem downright likely.

UFC 158
Nick Diaz fails to back up years worth of talk

UFC 158 A welterweight title fight that felt incredibly different wound up remarkably the same. Georges St. Pierre manhandled nemesis Nick Diaz with his wrestling. St. Pierre won every round on every judges' scorecard in Montreal for his sixth straight unanimous-decision victory. Diaz had preached his superiority over St. Pierre for years, but when he finally got his chance, he looked as helpless as all the other challengers to the 170-pound division's throne in the last six years. St. Pierre's consistency continued to amaze. Now it's on to Johny Hendricks, who defeated Carlos Condit in the evening's co-main event. Could he be the one to finally threaten St. Pierre?
