USA TODAY: For UFC 162′s Roger Gracie, confidence comes with famous last name

(This story appears in today’s edition of USA TODAY .) You can count on a few things happening when you grow up in the Gracie family. There’s a good chance you’ll learn the art of jiu-jitsu from some of the world’s best practitioners. And you’ll probably get pretty good at it. You’d better, because almost everywhere you go, from childhood on, there’s bound to be someone who thinks it would be cool to beat up a member of Brazil’s first family of fighting, just like there’s bound to be people who expect you to be some sort of superman on the mat. “That talk starts when you’re very young, and it never stops,” Roger Gracie (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com)

BAD MMA News — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 04:15:00 +0000

The UFC plans to put Cung Le front and center for the first Chinese edition of “The Ultimate Fighter.” Sources with knowledge of the situation told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Le, a former Strikeforce champ and current UFC middleweight, will serve as a coach on the reality show’s fourth international edition, which currently is casting and is set to begin filming later this year. On Monday, UFC President Dana White told MMAjunkie.com Le would be a good fit for “TUF: China” and said there was “a real good chance” that he would lead a squad of fighters hoping to secure a UFC contract. UFC officials recently put out the word that the promotion is holding auditions this month for featherweight, lightweight and welterweight talent to try out for the show, which will air on the Chinese-language Liaoning TV. Auditions are being held in Beijing, Singapore and Macao. The latter of those locations is where the Vietnam-born Le made his most recent appearance in the octagon. In the UFC’s first event held in China, he knocked out ex-champ Rich Franklin in the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 6. The former Strikeforce middleweight champion now is 2-1 in the promotion.

UFC 161 headliner Rashad Evans: ‘I’m not tired of fighting – I want to fight’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:00:00 +0000

This is absolutely new territory for Rashad Evans . The former light heavyweight champion didn’t know what it was like to lose two straight fights until he left the cage after meeting Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in February. And it hasn’t been something he’s been enjoying. Evans (17-3-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) headlines UFC 161 later this month against fellow legend Dan Henderson (29-9 MMA, 6-3 UFC), and he’ll be trying to snap that two-fight skid in a major way. “I’m real excited,” Evans told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “It’s a good chance for me to jump back on the scene and let everybody know I’ve stumbled a bit, but I’m definitely not out.
