- UFC has released their video promo for their huge UFC 187 card, featuring two title fights. The show will see Anthony "Rumble" Johnson take on Daniel Cormier for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight title, and Chris Weidman defend the UFC Middleweight Championship against Vitor Belfort.
We'll have full, live coverage of UFC 187 on Saturday May 25. You can see the promo video above.
- Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones had his personal information released last week, and has been bombarded with phone calls. Jones' personal phone number was listed on court documents that were available to the public.
Jones has been receiving anonymous phone calls, and his attorney has requested that the information becomes sealed. It's legal within the state of New Mexico for courts to release legal documents with your personal phone number and address listed.
- The UFC sent out a press release today saying that they're planning an overhaul of their long-standing Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame will have a new, four-category system, allowing inductees to be much better represented. Those categories can be seen below:
* Modern era wing: commemorating fighters who made their pro MMA debut in the modern era
* Pioneers era wing: commemorating fighters who made their pro MMA debut in the pioneers era
* Contributors wing: commemorating significant contributions outside of active competition
* Fight wing: commemorating the greatest and most important bouts in the sport's history
The previous inductees will be assigned to the category in which best suits them. The company also announced that it will develop a physical hall of fame, which will be located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
