In a recent interview Chuck Liddell weighed in on Kimbo Slice, noting that "Kimbo's one of those guys who doesn't have any ground game. He's training and he's learning but he's been built up as such a big star and that's the thing that bothers me. People talk about him like he's the next great thing when he really hasn't done anything. He's been built up because of the Internet and him beating a bunch of guys on the street."

Matt Hughes confirmed that he is moving up in weight class to light heavyweight, and he will be fighting Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in June. The former welterweight champion is currently in Colorado helping train Ultimate Fighter Season 7 finalist Tommy Speer for his fight tomorrow night on UFC Fight Night on Spike TV.

UFC Lightheavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has been involved in a recent war of words with Wanderlei Silva. Rampage noted that "Wanderlei thinks everyone is scared of him, and I'm not!" and later noting that "This dude is stupid". If Jackson manages to defeat Forrest Griffin in June and Silva gets past Keith Jardine, this fight may happen this year.
