Wrestling Inc will have full, live coverage of UFC 185 this Saturday night, starting with the prelim bouts at 6:30 PM eastern.

- Laila Ali made headlines this week when she stated that she'd be able to defeat UFC Women's Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in a fight. Rousey was quick to call Ali's bluff and accept the challenge if the legendary female boxer chose to do so.

Laila Ali started the verbal jabs, telling TMZ "She's like the size of my daughter, my 3-year-old."

"If she wants to take me up on that, I'm around," Rousey told the Daily Beast this week. "She's retired and has several kids. I understand why she'd think that because she has a size advantage, but if you saw my last fight it had nothing to do with size or strength at all. That's not how I beat people."

Ali put a screeching halt to any potential talk of a Rousey-Ali superfight, however, by saying she's retired and has no plans to take on Rousey.

- Jon Jones is being featured in a new set of Reebok commercials that show him running through the streets of Los Angeles. The commercial is to promote Reebok's new edition of the ZPump.
