UFC on FX 8 may have been short on stars, but the few that were in the arena on Saturday night made their presence felt with style.

Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza put on an absolute clinic, lulling Chris Camozzi into unconsciousness within a matter of seconds after locking in a first-round arm triangle for his UFC debut. And then came Vitor Belfort. An underdog o...

It's been a crazy, crazy week in MMA. Let's get right to finding out what's hot and what's not.

Not -- Pat Healy: After a memorable, double-bonus winning fight at UFC 159, Healy tested positive for marijuana. He lost his bonuses, worth $130,000. It was a very costly lesson.

Hot -- Bryan Caraway: He was the only other fighter at UFC 159 by submission, so he picked up Healy's vacated bonus.

UFC on Fox 8 is scheduled for July 27th in the Key Arena in Seattle, WA, and the card is pretty much full now. The main event will see Demetrious Johnson defend his UFC flyweight title against John Moraga, in a bout that was originally scheduled for the TUF 17 Finale. In the co-main, Jake Ellenberger will look to build on his UFC 158 win over Nate Marquardt when he takes on Canadian standout Rory...

This is Strikeforce champion Tarec Saffiedine's two-year-old son, and he has some training to do on this laundry basket. Check out his technique on low kicks. Clearly, he has been watching Daddy and learning from him. The older Saffiedine is making his UFC debut in July against Robbie Lawler. Will he be as effective as his son is against the laundry?

After enduring weeks of bad publicly, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney finally went of the defensive late last week. In an extended interview with MMAFighting.com's Luke Thomas, Rebney responded to several of the accusations cast towards his promotion by current and former fighters.

Though one of the most compelling aspects of the conversation arrived when Rebney denied claims made by former UFC feathe...

Legend has it that Tarec Saffiedine placed headphones on his wife's womb that played Bruce Lee parables and martial arts podcasts while his son was developing in her womb. We can't confirm it, but it's possible Tarec's wife can take a shot to the stomach better than Houdini, because we think Tarec's son was kicking and throwing combos while climbing his umbilical cord to stay in shape."You can'...

A bantamweight fight between John Albert and Yaotzin Meza has been added to the upcoming UFC on FOX 8 fight card, according to UFC officials.

Albert is in on a three-fight losing streak, including a submission loss to Scott Jorgensen at UFC on FOX 5 on Dec. 8, 2012. Meza, who trains with UFC champion Benson Henderson, will try to bounce back from being knocked out by Chad Mendes at UFC on FX 6 o...

In what will probably be the final addition to the card Yaotzin Meza is facing off against John Albert at UFC on Fox 8. It's not the most scintillating of matchups, but carries with it the promise that both of these fighters will probably get cut with a loss. It's hard to say what effect that has on a fighters mentality going in, it may make the fight more exciting, or it may lead to a safe, poin...

"I think we will keep this fight standing, that is exciting for the fans. They like to see people standing, we have different styles standing but we are both exciting. However, if it goes to the ground I am ready to go there, it will be an exciting fight. I believe a win will put me close to being a title contender, I think one or two fights away from being a contender. Whenever you fight a top...

In an alternate universe, former Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez fought at UFC 159, reeled in a hefty pay-per-view point paycheck from one of the year's biggest cards, and wouldn't be spending his time preparing for a long, potentially torturous court case. Unfortunately for Alvarez, that universe isn't the one we all call home.

Settlement talks between Alvarez and Bellator MMA appea...

When Tarec Saffiedine -- the last man to hold the Strikeforce welterweight title -- was booked to swing leather against Robbie Lawler at UFC on FOX 8 on July 27, 2013, the collective thought was: Bangfest!

Saffiedine has been known to systematically pick apart his opponents on the feet, as he did to Nate Marquardt earlier this year at Strikeforce: "Marqaurdt vs. Saffiedine." Tarec battered and b...

Until today, no one has kicked the crap out of a couch better than Dave Chappelle while in his Rick James character on the Chappelle show back in 2004. That's almost ten years of holding the title of G.O.A.T couch effer upper. Pretty impressive run. Unfortunately for Dave Chappelle though, it's time to hang up those couch kicking shoes and pass the title over to a whole new king of beating the ...

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the future of the sport.

This little tyke is Tarec Saffiedine's two-year-old son, shown here during a recent sofa-training session. From his vicious leg kicks (look familiar?) to his jackhammer-esque ground-and-pound, Sponge Jr. already possesses the kind of skills that would make the Ruffo Brothers and Pretty Boy Bam B...
