By UFCmania Lauzon may have also picked up a few things from Penn in terms of driving traffic to his Web site. In the wake of his win over Jens Pulver at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5 Finale, “The Prodigy” stayed in the Octagon just long enough to tell viewers to visit his site.

By UFCmania Michael Bisping will face Ken Shamrock (26-12-2) — not Matt Hamill as previously reported — at UFC 75 on September 8 in London, England, according to Loretta Hunt at FightNetwork.com.

By UFCmania We passed along news just a few days ago that the lightweight would be in action at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 23 — possibly against a contestant from this season of the mixed martial arts reality series on Spike television.

By Jesse Holland The two remaining quarterfinal matches are set to go and Pulver teammates Nate and Corey face-off followed by Manny and Wiman. Wiman is sucking wind. BJ is screaming at him to continue. Manny is pounding away. Wiman looks close to giving up as his body goes limp from exhaustion. The round ends wi...

By UFCmania Marlon Sims and Noah Thomas — the two contestants kicked off The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5 reality series because of an unsanctioned backyard brawl — will not fight at the TUF 5 Finale on June 23 despite a press release issued last week that said the match up was booked.

By Jesse Holland Brandon wants to defect to Team Penn and decides that honesty is the best policy. He confronts Jens and Andy. Yes Andy, who is now the Danny Abbadi to Brandon’s Matt Hamill. An interesting piece of trivia for this season: Randy Couture’s first stint as commentator was during Penn/Pulver 1.

By UFCmania Quick answer: Ratings. Lightweight contestants on this season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5 — Marlon Sims and Noah Thomas — will settle their backyard brawl during the show at the TUF 5 Finale on June 23, according to FightNetwork.com.

By Jesse Holland As if BJ wasn’t feeling bad already Dana then hits him below the belt, and I mean way below by warning him not to become this season’s Ken Shamrock. Ouch. Stay tuned next week as we start the quarterfinals, BJ and Jens get hot and bothered, and two eliminated fighters duke it out in the backyard.

By Jesse Holland Normally there are varying opinions on how to best evaluate the progress of a specific body of work, but in the case of The Ultimate Fighter, I think the merits are clearly determined by the quality (or lack thereof) from the weekly fights. Or is it?

By Jesse Holland He then starts crying and believe me when I tell you the breakdown Forrest Griffin had after losing to Keith Jardine seems like a mere whimper when compared to the performance Andy just turned in. I’m a firm believer that there’s no shame in crying but Andy really put that theory to the test in...

By UFCmania This scenario is eerily reminiscent of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 when Dana needed a replacement opponent for Michael Bisping and both Kristian Rothaermel and Tait Fletcher declined the offer citing lack of focus and preparation.
