MMA Fan HQ News Update Jan 24-UFC On FOX 3 Announced with Diaz/Miller & ...

On January 24, 2012, UFC On FOX 3 was officially announced with a Lightwight #1 contendership bout between TUF5 winner Nate Diaz and veteran Jim Miller, as well as a Flyweight bout between TUF14 winner John Dodson and Darren Uyenoyama.

Nate Diaz vs Jim Miller Set to Determine #1 LW Contender

Announced late Tuesday, January 24, TUF5 winner Nate Diaz and one of the division's top grapplers Jim Miller as part of UFC On FOX 3 on Saturday, May 5. This bout has been announced to decide who will become the #1 contender in the Lightweight (155-146lbs) division, with the victor of this bout expected to take on the winner of the upcoming bout in late February between reigning champion Frankie Edgar and former WEC champion Benson Henderson. Depending on the conditions of both winners of these two upcoming bouts, the eventual meeting between contender and champion will be expected to happen some time before the end of this year.

Diaz will be coming into this bout riding a two fight win streak since returning to the division after going 2-2 attempting to fight in the Welterweight division. Since returning to the division, Diaz has earned a Rnd1 Submission victory over former PrideFC Lightweight champion Takanori Gomi that earned Submission of the Night honors at UFC 135: Jones vs Rampage, and a Unanimous Decision over former 2x WEC title challenger Donald Cerrone that earned both fighters Fight of the Night honors at UFC 141: Lesnar vs Overeem, both being some of the best performances of his career.

Miller will come into this bout following a Rnd1 Submission win over TUF2 alumni Melvin Guillard at the promotion's recent FX debut headlining UFC On FX 1: Guillard vs Miller. This victory followed a Unanimous Decision defeat from Benson Henderson for the chance to fight champion Frankie Edgar. That loss was Miller's first since 2009, and snapped a seven fight win streak that included wins over top grappler Mark Bocek, then undefeated rising prospect Charles Oliveira, and veteran Gleison Tibau.

Though not officially announced, the winner of the upcoming bout between final WEC Lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and TUF5 alumni Joe Lauzon will likely produce a contender that could step in as a substitute for either Diaz or Miller if one of them should be forced to withdraw from the bout due to injury.

MMA News Update-Jan 18, 2012-Anthony Johnson Released by the UFC

Former Welterweight star Anthony "Rumble" Johnson has been released by the UFC after failing to make weight for a bout for the third time in his UFC career.

Anthony Johnson Released from the UFC

Former Welterweight star Anthony Johnson has been released from the Ultimate Fighting Championship after failing to make weight for a third time in his UFC career and his recent loss at UFC 142: Aldo vs Mendes. Once seen as the most dangerous and most powerful fighter in the Welterweight division, Johnson chose to finally make the move up in weight to fight in the Middleweight division, and would debut in the weight class for the first time in a bout with former Light Heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort, but would suffer a Rnd1 Submission loss.

Before making the move up in weight, Johnson was always advised to do so because of his problems in making the 170lb limit as a Welterweight and the possible health risks he could be bringing upon his body in doing so. Being 6'2" and walking around 250lbs (give or take) when not preparing for a fight, Johnson would look at dropping around 80lbs attempting to make the 170lbs maximum in the weeks leading up to his bouts, and failing to do so twice while competing in the UFC weighing 7.5lbs and 6lbs overweight those two times. Coming off a two fight win streak with Unanimous Decision over former title challenger Dan Hardy simply outwrestling him, and a Rnd1 TKO over Charlie Brenneman, Johnson finally made the decision to move up to fight at Middleweight where he would be able to keep an extra 15lbs with the difference in the two weight classes. This move up in weight made Johnson more comfortable and in pictures leading up to his bout against Belfort proved so with even more size to show for it.

Leading up to the bout, Johnson was 30lbs above the weight class's maximum just two weeks away from the event. Coming in on the day of the official weigh-ins, Johnson and his team stated he was just a few pounds over the maximum cutoff, but that quickly changed. Beginning to feel ill as a result of cutting so much weight, Johnson consulted the official UFC doctor who issued that he take in fluids immediately. Coming into the official weigh-ins the day prior to the bout, Johnson officially weighed in at 197lbs, 11lbs over the maximum (that is 11lbs over the extra allowed pound for non-title bouts that makes the cutoff 186lbs), which is the most pverweight a fighter had ever been for a bout in the UFC. This marked the third time in Johnson's UFC career that he had missed weight, which violates the contracts signed for each bout with the stipulation that a fighter comes in on weight for a bout. This meant that Johnson would be penalized with a fine with 20% of his fight purse being forfeited to Belfort. As seen in UFC President's video blog, Belfort was informed of Johnson's failure to make weight, and was given the options of either abandon the bout, be allowed to come in overweight and still fight (which would forfeit receiving the 20% extra pay taken from Johnson fight purse), or make the cutoff as contractually obligated and still receive the extra 20% pay taken from Johnson's fight purse; Belfort accepted the bout still making weight as a show of professionalism. Added to the fine, Johnson had to weigh-in again the next day no more than 205lbs just hours before the event to be allowed to fight; Johnson weighed in at 204lbs. When the fight started, Johnson had a visible size and strength advantage, but Belfort being a veteran and fighting opponents who had these same advantages before was still no easy task. The bout went back-&-forth in the first round until Belfort got Johnson to the ground, taking his back quickly and landing multiple strikes before locking on the Rear Naked Choke to earn the Rnd1 Submission victory with eleven seconds left in the round. Following the bout, Dana White stated in an interview that Johnson would be released for missing weight for a third time, being overweight so much, and coming off a loss.
