		<description><![CDATA[ In his last fight at UFC 159 in April, Jon Jones suffered a horrific injury during his victory over Chael Sonnen . He dislocated his big toe, which looked like something out of a horror film, the bone poking through his skin, his toe dangling from his foot. That was nearly five months ago, and Jones now says that he – and his toe – is good to go for Saturday’s UFC 165 main event. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil" veteran Daniel Sarafian has bumped into his next opponent, Eddie Mendez , more than a few times prior to UFC on FUEL TV 10. For some fighters, that's a cue to mean-mug or get bent out of shape. But the way Sarafian (7-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) sees it, as long as they're not sharing a gym for training camp, it will be just the kind of distraction he needs before their fight, which is part of the event's main card at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. "I really don't try to intimidate my opponent or anything like that when I run into him," Sarafian told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I think it's good, because in a sense, it gives me some motivation and it serves as a stimulus to me to be more alert. "And there's an adrenaline rush]]></description>
