I can't remember who it was, but I was looking at the Wiki bio for a fighter a week or 2 ago, and they had a rank of 'black belt' in MMA, although it was under some guy's developed name for a fighting system, I did lol.

One of the funniest things about the early UFCs were the funny names for martial arts, like pitfighting, trap fighting, SAFTA, the list goes on. And even the guys like Goodridge and Kimo who were given ranks without the credentials.
Though Goodridge certainly picked up some good stuff in his training session or two before UFC 8:
You mean Gary Goodridge - the World arm wrestling champion? 
There were a run of 7th, 8th & 9th degree blackbelt old geezers in their gi's coming through in those days I remember. Most of those titles were later determined to be bogus.

A featherweight bout between TUF 5 alumni Cole Miller and Manny Gamburyan has been scheduled for the fight card of UFC on FOX Sports 1.
UFC officials confirmed featherweights Darren Elkins vs. Hatsu Hioki and bantamweights Erik Perez vs. Takeya Mizugaki are set to meet at the August 28 event, which takes place at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. (UFC on Fox Sport 1: 2).
Cat interview. Injured herself doing squat jumps over hurdles, a freak accident. Initially thought it would be McMann replacing her. She'll get her title shot when she heals up.

GSP vs. Hendricks in November in Vegas most likely.
Josh Thomson is an idiot.
Jones vs. Gustafsson is 165 main event, September 21.
Cain vs. JDS 3 will probably be in Houston in October.

Sweet some good main cards coming up then. And it looks like Jones v Silva COULD happen for the Dec 30 card in Vegas. I sort of don't want it to because my brothers are going over for that card, if they get to see that live I'll be ****ing pissed off ha ha!

Dana/Ariel interview. States Jones picked Gus over Machida because he 'annihilated Machida'.

3 month turn around for Jones is a big ask to fight the pound for pound greatest.
In lieu of GSP's car being stolen.

This whole thing with Bigfoot and Thiago Silva has been so weird. At first Bigfoot says to fight him at heavyweight. Thiago Silva says no to that, but says that he'll fight Bigfoot at LHW. Bigfoot then says he'll check with doctors to see if he can healthily make 205 pounds (no way that's happening). Now a 220 pound catchweight fight's being talked about. I don't think there's any way Bigfoot's going to be able to get down to that weight either.

Sadly, Nelson probably won't re-sign with the UFC for that match to happen anyway. It appears 50/50 at this point.

What's with all the fighters saying stupid shit? Roy Nelson with the uncle tom comment towards Cormier straight after Josh Thomson's bizarre outburst. 
I think he will. He'll get a much deserved pay raise and after beating Miocic, will be interested in big time fights with the HW divisions top 5.
Anthony Pettis has hurt his knee and wont be fighting Aldo. Korean Zombie gets the call up for the shot at the title.

. I don't think TKZ is much of a chance TBH.

Hope petis goes to lightweight when he returns
Lamas is the one no one is talking about, he's lost a good opportunity too.
Jon Fitch gets choked to sleep in 41 seconds in his WSOF debut against Josh Burkman. Steve Mazzagatti didnt stop the fight either. Hopefully we can get a video to post soon, but it wasn't the best work by a ref.
Check the WSOF thread, I posted 2x .gifs and the video.
Edit: I'll repost it here too.
I was wondering why I didn't see it posted earlier... It turns out that I'm just going crazy!
Thanks mate
