Here are the results from one of the, if not the best FOX card the UFC has had to date. (Fight Cove)
UFC President Dana White announced on the FOX broadcast that Lyoto Machida would get the next title shot and if you don’t like that, White says to simply not buy the pay-per-view when he fights. (MMA Mania)
With Machida getting the title shot and “Shogun” looking in from the outside, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira wants to coach TUF: Brazil 2 opposite Rua. (Bloody Elbow)
Although the card was great, just 2.36 million tuned into the card, slightly below the last FOX card from May. (MMA Fighting)
When it came to the bonuses, no surprise that Joe Lauzon cleaned house and grabbed an extra 100k for his troubles. (MMA Junkie)
Following the main event on Saturday night, Dana White announced that Rory MacDonald was out of his UFC 152 fight with B.J. Penn due to a nasty cut above his eye. (Sherdog)
Now that Penn doesn’t have an opponent, names like Jon Fitch, Siyar Bahadurzada and Sean Sherk have said they would like to meet “The Prodigy” inside the octagon. (5oz of Pain)
