First it was Alistair Overeem, then Fabricio Werdum, and now apparently Chad Griggs will follow suit in joining the UFC roster after Zuffa recently announced their plan to do away with Strikeforce’s heavyweight division. Though no official reason was given for the organization’s decision, the widespread assumption is that axing the heavyweights will serve as [...]

UFC 142 look ahead: Anthony Johnson wants to play ‘TUF Brazil’ spoiler Vitor Belfort's in an interesting spot come late January.

The Brazilian has a tough fight against Anthony Johnson, but also has a fight likely booked for the summer against Wanderlei Silva. He and Silva are the coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter Brazil." It seems like a possible look ahead spot for Belfort.

Johnson isn't bothered by the double booking.

"That's fine. I'm gonna spoil it. I'm gonna spoil it for them. I'm glad they put that [together], the coaches together for a show," Johnson told Sirius Fight Club on Sirius 94/XM 208. "It's two legends in Brazil. That's great for the Brazilian fighters and the overall MMA community, and for the world to see. Because both of those guys have a ton of knowledge," Johnson said. "Hell, I might just take his job after the fight!"

Johnson, a good prefight trash talker, sounded like he's going to dial it down a bit around the sometimes over-the-top Brazilian fans.

"Only thing I'm worried about is if I can make it out of Brazil or not," joked Johnson. He's noticed Chael Sonnen really stirring the pot around a possible Anderson Silva fight. "[Now] Sonnen needs to worry. I'm not on his level in talking as much as he talks. What he's saying is good for promotion, but it's also bad. There's some things you say and some things you don't say."

Johnson said he's not worried about trying to verbally intimidate Belfort. He's more interested in making sure he's on point on fight night.

"Of course his hands are fast, but I have to stick my gameplan and what I know and what I do best. Once I start worrying about what he can do. Then that's when you stop thinking about what you can do," said Johnson.

The matchup makes for an intriguing fight. It's strength against strength.

The 6-foot-2 Johnson has spent his entire career fighting down at 170. How will he react to a smaller weight cut? Johnson said he'll still be cutting from around 210 pounds. Will his power translate to the 185-pound division? Maybe he does catch Belfort looking ahead. He's certainly got nothing to lose. We'll find out if Belfort, who's biggest weakness is his mental game from fight-to-fight, is rock solid in Rio.

If Jorge Masvidal’s striking looked off last night in his championship clash with Strikeforce title-holder Gilbert Melendez it may have been because he was working with one paw for most of their pairing. According to Masvidal’s camp, “Gambred” injured his right hand a few weeks out from the fight but opted to fight rather than [...]

Carlos Condit opened up as a betting favorite this week over Nick Diaz for their Interim Welterweight Title bout at UFC 143 in February, but he didn't stay there long.

After Condit opened as a -125 favorite, money quickly came in on Diaz at -105, moving him slightly to the favorite spot himself at -130, while Condit has moved to an even money pick.

That's a line that could continue to fluctuate between the two fighters between now and the time of the fight, as it's an even matchup that many can see both fighters winning; and if either becomes a significant favorite, money very well could come in on the other with more favorable odds.

There’s no question Jon Fitch’s recent accomplishments in MMA are on par with the two individuals fighting for the UFC’s interim welterweight belt at UFC 143, Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz.
