Longtime veteran Vladimir Matyushenko has secured his spot with the MMA juggernaut that is the UFC.

Since his inception into the world of mixed martial arts, Matyushenko has experienced the full gamut that the sport as had to offer, the highs and lows. The former IFL light heavyweight champion holds signature wins over Jamal Patterson, Pedro Rizzo and Antonio Rogerio Nogueria. He’s challeneged for the UFC’s 205-pound strap against then champion Tito Ortiz, was a contender in it’s heavyweight division, but has never been able to secure a top spot in the organization.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship recently released the official lineup for their upcoming UFC 121 event, and it should come as no surprise that Brock Lesnar defending his UFC Heavyweight Championship against Cain Velasquez has taken center stage as the show’s main event. Brock Lesnar was last seen pulling off one of the biggest, best comebacks of 2010, absorbing all former UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin had to give him for five full minutes, then submitting Carwin via Arm Triangle Choke early in the second round. Cain Velasquez’s last fight saw him demolish the once-unbreakable chin of PRIDE FC legend Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira. UFC 121 will take place October 23 in Anaheim, California, and features a star-studded main card in addition to the big-money main event.

Forrest Griffin, the first ever winner of the famed reality series “The Ultimate Fighter”, has become a bit of an entrepreneur in the days he spends outside of the octagon.

Does Tito Ortiz still peak interest with MMA fans?

How about Kazushi Sakuraba? Does the “Gracie Hunter” still make you wish you would have paid attention to Japanese manga more and bought a cheap leatard and called yourself a wrestler?

It seems we have come to the end of the ordeal involving “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz (15-7-1) and his girlfriend Jenna Jamesson as Tito will not be prosecuted for domestic violence.

TMZ once again scoops the entire mixed martial arts (MMA) world by announcing that the Orange County District Attorney rejected the case based on “insufficient corroboration to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he attacked his girlfriend Jenna Jameson.”

Tito was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence after officers were called to the couple’s residence on April 26 in Huntington Beach, California.

The lack of charges filed likely stems from the constant changing story of Jenna. Originally she stated Tito had been physical with her. Tito stated he found the pill Oxycontin in her pants and this was the reason for the argument.

Later Chip Matthews, Tito’s lawyer, told Sherdog that the incident had been a “misunderstanding” and the couple was moving towards reconciliation.

Then Jenna recanted once again and the District Attorney decided to take a look at the charges.

I am sure all the MMA fans worldwide are happy to see an end to “As the World Turns” starring Jenna and Tito.

I stated in my last piece detailing the arrest of “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz (15-7-1) for domestic violence that we would update this story as news came out. Today celebrity news site TMZ reported that Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz have recanted their stories.
