Did Chael Sonnen Know About Jon Jones' Coke Use? Welterweight Contender Fight Set, More

- Much has been made the last few days of a scene from the UFC 159 weigh-ins, that saw challenger Chael Sonnen set to face Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Following his weigh in, Chael Sonnen took a drink of Coca-Cola, which many have pointed to as Sonnen knowing about Jones' use of "Coke."

Regarding this, FRB Show host Front Row Brian says it isn't the case. The friend of Sonnen's said that it is simply a coincidence, and Coca-Cola paid him for product placement.

- A number one contender's bout has been set for the UFC's welterweight division as Rory MacDonald and Hector Lombard will square off at UFC 186 in Montreal.

While the bout hasn't been finalized, it looks to be on for the April 25 card. Rory MacDonald was originally promised the next title shot, but a close Johny Hendricks/Robbie Lawler bout put the brakes on those plans.

- Speaking of the UFC welterweight division, it appears former 155-pound king Ben Henderson has put a hold on his planned move to 170 pounds.

Henderson had originally planned on moving to welterweight after his next fight at lightweight, but instead will opt to fight in his current division as long as he can. Henderson is open, however, to big name fights or opportunities at welterweight.
