Belcher?s back with a win at Ultimate Fight Night 25

Belcher?s back with a win at Ultimate Fight Night 25

Alan Belcher showed that 16 months off didn't hurt him as he took out Jason MacDonald at Ultimate Fight Night 25 on Saturday evening in New Orleans.

Belcher outclassed MacDonald from the beginning of the fight. MacDonald tried for a takedown but ended up falling backwards with Belcher on top of him. Belcher took advantage of the position, ground and pounding MacDonald. Though MacDonald tried to spin away, it was too much and MacDonald submitted to strikes at 3:48 in the first round.

This was Belcher's first fight since beating Patrick Cote in May of 2010. Belcher suffered an eye injury, and had to have surgery that put his fight career in doubt. He worked back to be able to fight in his home state of Louisiana.

"I'm so emotional right now. I've been through so many trials and tribulations. I'm back, baby," Belcher said.

This win gives Belcher a record of 17-6, while MacDonald falls to 25-15.

?British spy? Jones admits he spied on Camp Jackson ? sort of

Score one for Jon Jones. With all the tomfoolery surrounding the MMA version of "Spygate," Jones fired back in mocking fashion this week. Joining 106.7 The Fan's Luke Thomas, Jones did an entire interview using a phony British accent. Why you ask?

"I'm British, being a double agent is what we do," said Jones.

Jones never broke character. It seems like the 24-year-old is handling the Jackson mind games in stride.

In our RawVegas.tv UFC 135 betting odds piece, Larry Pepe (ProMMARadio) and Damon Martin (MMAWeekly) talked about the mental side of the fight and made selections using the Las Vegas numbers.

Nick Diaz Responds to Being Cut from UFC 137 - Nick Diaz

We know there?s at least one Diaz fan left; White gives him Penn fight at UFC 137

Just when you thought everyone was steaming mad at Nick Diaz, Dana White pulled off a shocker by re-booking the quirky fighter for another fight at UFC 137 against B.J. Penn.

Thursday evening, White announced the move via Twitter. This was less than 24 hours after he dropped Diaz from the main event title fight against Georges St-Pierre.

When it comes down it, White is willing to deal with all of� Diaz's drama to simply satisfy fight fans. Are you any less excited for the Diaz-Penn versus Diaz-GSP? That's been a dream fight for many fans, for years. White could've easily banished Diaz to the MMA minor leagues for life, but the recognizes the guy is a great fighter with some serious psychological issues.

The door opened for Diaz when a Penn-Jon Fitch rematch couldn't be made. Penn ripped Fitch on Twitter and said he had enough of waiting for Fitch to commit. Twitter is hilarious though. Penn went from nasty to nice in 42 minutes when he was offered the Diaz fight.

Why did Diaz get another chance? White spoke to him and got a basic understanding of what was going through his head when he missed two prefight conferences and missed three flights.

"To tell you the truth, the excuses he gave me made no sense," White told Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole. "You've interviewed Nick Diaz before. You know what I'm talking about. But I started thinking about this: This kid is a real fighter and I love the B.J. Penn-Nick Diaz fight. He always does show up to fight. We have trouble with him doing p.r. We also sometimes have problems with [his brother] Nate, whom I have a great relationship with, in getting him to do his p.r."

"What basically happened is, Nick freaked out. He disappeared. He told me he couldn't handle the pressure of the main event. It wasn't that he couldn't fight it or wouldn't have fought it, but all the responsibilities that come with fighting in the main event, he said he couldn't deal with that. The fighting part is the easy part to him."

Rockhold takes Strikeforce middleweight belt with win over Souza

CINCINNATI --� Luke Rockhold became the new Strikeforce middleweight champ with a tight decision win over Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza at Strikeforce on Saturday night. In a bout that saw Rockhold outstrike Souza 145-63, the judges saw the fight 50-45, 48-47 for Rockhold.

Souza took Rockhold down early in the first round, but then had trouble maneuvering him. Rockhold worked to his knees, where was able to land punches, then get to his feet. Jacare took him right back down, but they worked back up again, and Rockhold was able to break free. Jacare took advantage, and stalked Rockhold down with kicks. Rockhold responded with a dazzling array of strikes, including three straight punches as Souza held Rockhold's leg.

Rockhold started the second round off well, showing a spinning back kick, but was wobbled by Souza twice. They continued to go back and forth, both landing powerful strikes, until Rockhold took over the round in the final seconds.

Early in the third round, Rockhold landed� a shot to Jacare's groin, halting the fight. When it was restarted, Jacare avoided Rockhold's strikes to get a takedown. Rockhold slipped back to his feet and pressured Jacare around the cage.

Blood dripped from Rockhold's face by the fourth round, but he did not slow down. He continued to stalk Jacare around until the Brazilian forced the fight into the cage. Jacare tried to turn their clinch into a takedown, but Rockhold slipped out. He returned to the clinch and landed damaging knees to Jacare's face.

Rockhold started well in the fifth and final round, but couldn't maintain his pace of landing strikes and pressuring Jacare around the cage, as Jacare managed a takedown halfway through the round. Still, Rockhold returned to his feet, withstood a front kick to the face, and landed more punches and kicks as the fight hit its final minute.

Rockhold, a product of the well-known American Kickboxing Academy, came up through Strikeforce's Challengers series before getting bigger shots. That system is in place just so that fighters aren't hurried along, and they did a good job with Rockhold, who is now their champ at just 26 yars old. .

But like with other Strikeforce championships, the future is vague. Though middleweight is one of their deeper divisions, it's not clear what will happen next. The young man can now just savor his victory before worrying about what's next.

Hughes goes old school, training with Penn and Miletich for next week?s fight

Hughes goes old school, training with Penn and Miletich for next week?s fight

Only in mixed martial arts, right? Unless we're talking Rocky III, when Balboa and Apollo Creed worked together, it's bizarre to see fighters working together just months after one knocks the other one silly in a fight. But that's exactly what Matt Hughes is doing by training with B.J. Penn, the guy who beat him less than 11 months ago.

"I brought in a couple of special guests ? B.J. Penn and Pat Miletich. Being around such great fighters and coaches is humbling, No. 1; and No. 2, it was a great learning environment because we all learned off each other," Hughes wrote in ESPN.com blog.

Hughes said he also worked with Jeremy Horn, Matt Pena and DaMarques Johnson. In advance of his UFC 135 fight next week against Josh Koscheck, the experience was eye opening.

"All I had to do was show up, not do anything on the mat, and I was gonna sit there and learn. If I wanted to, I could have charged admission and people would have loved to just sit there, watch and soak it in," said Hughes.

Publicly, Penn and Hughes seemed to have a pretty heated relationship until the last few years. Hughes pointed out that Penn's appearance in his latest camp was actually paying back a favor. Just weeks after he was laid out by Penn at UFC 123, Hughes actually traveled to Hawaii to work takedown defense for the Hawaiian's fight against Jon Fitch in February.

Miletich, a former UFC champion from 1998-2000, hadn't worked with Hughes since 2007. Hughes left Miletich Fighting Systems in Iowa to open his own training center, but fighter and coach stayed on good terms since the split.

Kyle ends Strikeforce prelims with a decision win

CINCINNATI -- Mike Kyle took a decision from Marcos Rogerio de Lima in the final preliminary bout at Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov on Saturday night.

In the first round, Kyle charged ahead, throwing a bevy of strikes, but de Lima didn't give up position, throwing several leg kicks of his own. A set of strikes appeared to have de Lima wobbly near the end of the round, but Kyle didn't follow up with anything that would have ended the fight.

De Lima started the second round looking woozy, and didn't improve as Kyle continued to pepper him with punches. De Lima looked a bit livelier later in the round, and he was able to land snapping leg kicks and a few strikes. As the round neared its end, Kyle knocked de Lima to the ground. He responded by throwing an upkick that appeared to be illegal, and Kyle complained to referee Greg Franklin, but no points were deducted or warnings given.

More leg kicks from de Lima and punches from Kyle filled the third round until Kyle took de Lima down late in the round. Kyle threw short strikes, holding de Lima down until the final horn. When it rang out, Kyle jumped up and yelled, "Yeah!"

Kyle has been out of the cage since December, when he lost to Antonio Silva. His record moves to 19-8-1.
