Jon Anik & co. talk about Rampage leaving the UFC, Cro Cop's retirement, Strikeforce signing Herschel Walker and Vitor Belfort's win over Rich Franklin.

If you couldn't tell already, I'm psyched for this season of The Ultimate Fighter, probably like no other, because we get to see all heavyweights, we get to see Rampage and Rashad yap back and forth at each other (see DW's quote above), see how the NFL players do, and then, see how long (or how short) Kimbo's stint on the show will be. It all starts tomorrow night (Wednesday) with Ultimate Fight Night at 8 p.m., and the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter at 10 p.m.

Ted: Dana White gives a hilarious rant about acting while fighting professionally. But, as one member of the mmajunkie forum said, maybe he should just let it go, because more mainstream exposure will most likely lead to more asses in the seats.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Dana White wants to make one thing very clear: He's no fan of fighters who also want to launch simultaneous acting careers.

While the likes of Randy Couture, Heath Herring and Georges St-Pierre have appeared in recent Hollywood flicks, the UFC president was none too pleased when he learned Quinton Jackson will reportedly play the role of B. A. Baracus in a film remake of "The A-Team."

Right now, the two LHWs are coaches on the set of The Ultimate Fighter 10 (which is actually for heavyweights, but whatever) and ever since their in-Octagon confrontation a while back, can't stand each other.

from mmaweekly.com:
Now that Lyoto Machida has cemented himself as the #1 light heavyweight in the world, the next step for him is to defend his title, and possibly build his reputation with more fans all over the world.

A natural step to build that bridge would seem to be placing Machida on the next season of the "Ultimate Fighter" reality show, and have him opposite his next opponent, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who previously served on the show during season 7.

UFC president Dana White was asked point blank if the coaches for the tenth season of the show had been picked, and while he was able to confirm they have been chosen, he wouldn't divulge any names.
