During his two-year break from MMA between November 2009 and November 2011, he was competing in jiu-jitsu tournaments around the world, including claiming gold and silver medals in Abu Dhabi in 2010. After a stint like that, one would expect him to come out with tons of subs, but he came back with a first-round knockout in the Philippines and a decision win over Chinese submission artist Tiequan Zhang in his UFC debut nearly a year ago. He is making his long overdue second appearance against a strong wrestler in Parke, which should make for an interesting match-up.
Woah, woah woah Joe I will let you know when I'm done, Joe," Sonnen said as Rogan pulled the mic away from his face. "I just got done with a world champion. If you think I'm going to let a middle-aged comedian just for the goddamn pleasure of it, you better think again. Wanderlei Silva, three months you and the bad guy!" Sonnen and Silva have been barking at each other for months. With Sonnen's victory at UFC Fight Night 26, it appears Silva could be next in line to face him.
It felt great to get this win here in the UFC," Barnett said after finishing Mir at UFC 164. "It's been a long time coming. And it's great to get this match-up with Frank.

The sport reached a new peak of popularity in North America in the December 2006 rematch between then UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell and former champion Tito Ortiz , rivaling the PPV sales of some of the biggest boxing events of all time, 6 and helping the UFC's 2006 PPV gross surpass that of any promotion in PPV history. In 2007, Zuffa LLC , the owners of the UFC MMA promotion, bought Japanese rival MMA brand Pride FC , merging the contracted fighters under one promotion 26 and drawing comparisons to the consolidation that occurred in other sports, such as the AFL-NFL Merger in American football 27
It should also be noted, the champion Anthony Pettis was in attendance for this fight and he looked in a state of shock whilst watching them go at it. This is the kind of fight we haven't seen Pettis in, where there's blood and mess everywhere, with the fight hanging in the balance and UFC it being an absolute war. Before this fight I wasn't sure if Sanchez could find the fire to be the Sanchez of old; I honestly wasn't sure what to expect from Diego, but now after everything has been said and done it is fair to say that Diego Sanchez is back and he isn't going anywhere.
