UFC no. 1 middleweight contender Chael Sonnen touches on UFC 117, Anderson Silva, Ed Soares, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and more in his own words.

Two men currently hold UFC heavyweight championship belts but there can be only one.

On the M-1 / Strikeforce conference call, Fedor said, “in some ways, the actions and behavior of a lot of the fighters in the UFC takes away from the sport.”

Two fighters looking to restore their status with the UFC were joined by two fighters hoping to gain any status at all.

“In the best interests of my district, I am resigning from my campaign for the Oregon House of Representatives,” Sonnen said.

Canada was the star of the call; the fighters themselves received comparatively little attention.

Rich Franklin suffered a broken forearm and still managed to knock out Chuck Liddell.

Vancouver embraces its sort-of hometown son and Chael Sonnen transforms himself from heel to hero.

The locals fearing a barbarian horde were met with a kindler, gentler, more loving UFC on Thursday.

Next week Robbie Lawler and Renato “Babalu” Sobral will share a rare mid-week card at a rare catchweight of 195 pounds.
