Is Frankie Edgar Ahead of GSP and Jon Jones on Pound-For-Pound Best List?
The third fight between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard at UFC 136 was once again magnificent. But perhaps the most intriguing aspect that emerged from the fight was Dana White's take on the sport's pound-for-pound rankings. If you are still in the dark, White stated that current lightweight champion Edgar is the number two pound-for-pound fighter in the world,“I don’t care who disagrees, you are wrong and I’m right.

Another week of the fourteenth season of UFC reality show The Ultimate Fighter has come to a close and USCS's own MMA Mom Lynne McCreary continues her blog as she follows the show and her son, Dennis Bermudez, as he journey's through it: Team Bisping got right into their revenge prank as the week opened. Bisping reasoned that since Mayhem like tires so much, referring to last week's prank filling Bisping's locker room with tires, he'll give him some tires. The coaches of Team Bisping proceeded to strip all four tires off of Mayhem's Dodge Charger and place them in Team Mayhem's locker room.
