While Jon Jones has brought as a lot of attention to the mixed martial arts world with his dynamic and flashy style, he has also created discension in the infamous Greg Jackson training camp. Rashad Evans was one of the originals of the famed team, having began training there several years ago after his underdog performance on the second season of "The Ultimate Fighter" where he became the winner of the heavyweight field. After paring down to the light-heavyweight class, he became the champion of his division, and though he lost the crown soon thereafter, he worked his way back at a shot at the title. However now, Evans will be facing his former teammate in Jones, who has since made permanent residence with the Jackson team, causing Rashad to sever ties with his friends. Mike Winkeljohn, one of the head instructors and co-owner of the Jackson training facilities, wishes the whole situation could have been averted, and partly blames UFC champ Jon Jones. ...

What does the future hold for Andrei Arlovski? That’s a loaded question if I’ve ever heard one. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion is currently on a four-fight losing-streak, with three of those losses by highlight-reel KO. Both Arlovski and his head trainer, the famed Greg Jackson, seem defiant and ready to give it another go, while a growing section of Arlovski’s fanbase begins to call for Arlovski’s retirement. Recently, Jackson spoke about what he thinks is holding Arlovski back. Here are all the details. ...

From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, it’s been quite a career for former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski. Despite his numerous ups and downs, Arlovski remains an incredibly popular athlete that routinely gets one of the largest fan reactions of the night whenever he fights. But is it time to call it a career? Head trainer Greg Jackson certainly doesn’t think so, and in a recent interview, he claimed that Arlovski will be back and that “The Pitbull” doesn’t have the weak chin everyone accuses him of having. ...

At the recent UFC 124: “St. Pierre vs. Koscheck 2” event, UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre proved once again why he’s regarded as one of the Pound-for-Pound best. GSP utilized the often-overlooked jab to such a degree that Koscheck’s right eye was more or less useless from the first round onward. And according to a recent report, GSP did in fact break Koscheck’s orbital bone. According to GSP’s head trainer Greg Jackson, though, even that wasn’t enough to call the fight a success. Here are all the details. ...

Dana White doesn’t mind making enemies. Time and time again, the controversial UFC President has proven that he’s more than willing to state his opinion on any given subject no matter what his reaction garners.

But Greg Jackson has never been one to lay down and be humbled, and recently, he’s fired back an impressive salvo at the UFC’s head honcho. Here are all the details. ...

Following the events of UFC 122, it's safe to say that Dana White wasn't all that satisfied with some things that had taken place at last Saturday's night of fights. The UFC head honcho spoke openly about his feelings concerning the card, but was mostly critical of the main event of the evening. In a match that pitted two of the organization's top middleweight contenders in Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami, both men met each other in the center of the cage with the promise of an immediate title shot for the middleweight title. However, neither competitor, especially Marquardt, fought with any sense of urgency that would warrant said person with the coveted shot at the championship. UFC President Dana White won't hold back on his promise, but still has his opinions on Marquardt and now has his eyes set on the Jackson camp. ...

As previously reported, Shane Carwin will be making his return at ufc 125, though no opponent was mentioned at the time of the reveal. Carwin himself, in fact, made the news of his return on his official Twitter page (@ShaneCarwin), and since then many have speculated who the former title challenger will be facing. In his last outing, Carwin attempted to unify his interim heavyweight title, which he earned with a first round knockout of former champion Frank Mir at UFC 111, when he tangled with the current title holder in Brock Lesnar, at UFC 116 last July. After a dominant first-round turned in, where "The Engineer" was able to drop Lesnar with a barrage of punches, eventually gassing himself when he unloaded a heavy dose of ground and pound that had left Brock on the ropes, but otherwise still in the fight. ...

As the year is coming closer to an end, the now annual World MMA Awards, which is hosted by Fighters Only Magazine, has recently announced their finalists for the December 1st event, which will take place once again in Las Vegas, Nev., which has become a hot bed for all things fighting related. The 2009 event opened up to a large audience, and has become a propellant in the mixed martial arts world, opening up the eyes to a mainstream audience, by the community taking leaps and bounds in order to legitimize itself as not only a legitimate sport, but one that deserves that same sort of recognition that most others receive, here in these United States. ...

The dust has barely settled from the UFC’s latest Fight Night outing, but people are already beginning to call the main event showdown between Nate Marquardt and Rousimar Palhares the second coming of “GreaseGate”. For those not abreast of the situation, Marquardt escaped Palhares’ patented heel hook rather easily when Palhares finally got Nate “The Great” to the ground, so easily in fact that Palhares tried to stop the fight due to his allegation that Marquardt had used a greasing agent on his legs. In that split-second of lost focus, Marquardt pounced and secured a dominating win that may go down as the most controversial fight of his career. But both his trainer and Marquardt himself strongly deny  the allegations of greasing, and I have to tell you, they make a very solid argument. ...

Former UFC lightweight title challenger Diego Sanchez is making changes. After his losses to former champion BJ Penn at lightweight, and then budding welterweight star John Hathaway, Diego will try his hand once again at the 170-pound division at UFC 121 against Paulo Thiago. Sanchez largely made his name after winnings "The Ultimate Fighter" season one as a middleweight, before dropping down to the welterweight division in dominating fashion. After defeating fellow finalist Kenny Florian at the TUF finale, Diego would make a name for himself in victories over Karo Parisyan, Nick Diaz, and Joe Riggs. While Diego can attribute a large amount of his success to his hard work and dedication, but in some respects a little of that success also needs to be addressed to the man, the myth, the legend--Greg Jackson. ...

Fighters.com fourth-ranked light heavyweight "Sugar" Rashad Evans (14-1-1) received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from Rolles Gracie (2-0) Saturday before UFC 108. The awarding of black belts today in mixed martial arts (MMA) is becoming homogenized as many fighters seem to be able to get them as easy as a Big Mac. It is a disgrace to the fighting style of Jiu Jitsu, the black belt lineage and to Helio Gracie himself. ...
