• UFC Fan Expo Hits London Oct 15-16
  Ever since the first UFC® Fan ExpoTM took place last July, UFC President Dana White has been inundated with questions from European fans when they get their own action-packed weekend of UFC events.
  
• Second Times the Charm for Vladimir Matyushenko
  Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - It's been a long time since Vladimir Matyushenko's last UFC headlining gig back in September of 2001 - nearly nine years, 16 fights, and a short layoff ago.
  
• Jacob Volkmann The Doctor is In
  Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - "You gotta start growing up and taking things serious." The words directed at Jacob Volkmann two years ago didn't come from his wife, his parents, or a close friend, but from the owner of a bank in his hometown of Fergus Falls, Minnesota who apparently believed that being a professional fighter wasn't the right path for a family man who was also a practicing chiropractor.
  
• Brian Stann -No Rest for the "All-American"
  Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - The fight is the same every day for Brian Stann. It's a battle that doesn't take place in a gym or in an Octagon, but wherever the UFC middleweight may open an email or catch a television news program. For a decorated war hero and Captain in the United States Marine Corps like Stann, it could take just one phone call and he will go from being a professional athlete to a leader back on the battlefields in Afghanistan or Iraq.
  
• Meet Tito Ortiz Saturday at Ultimate Blood Drive V in Phoenix
  Every summer since 2006, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz has cleared time from his schedule to visit Phoenix, Arizona, and work with United Blood Services on their annual blood drive, and this Saturday, July 31st, "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" expects a bigger turnout than ever before for Ultimate Blood Drive V.
  
• Charles Oliveira Just One Man to Beat
  Martins Denis, UFC - The history of Brazilian MMA athletes who come from difficult beginnings in the sport due to the lack of proper training conditions is well known. Struggling all the time, eventually there comes a moment where they decide if it's time to change things up and get a full-time job or stay the course in the hopes of achieving their fighting dreams.
  
• Munoz Winning Mindset Key to His Success
  Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - It was a fairly innocuous question, but when UFC middleweight contender Mark Munoz responded to a query about his readiness for the 185-pound title picture should he defeat Yushin Okami this weekend in San Diego, one word in his response told you everything you need to know about the competitor dubbed 'The Filipino Wrecking Machine.'
  
• Uncovering the mysteries of Igor Pokrajac
  Martins Denis, UFC - If you had your eyes on nearly every Pride FC event since April of 2002, you would have seen the same tough guy in Mirko Cro Cop's corner - current UFC light heavyweight Igor Pokrajac.
  
• Fighters confirmed for UFC Fan Expo in Boston
  With the city of Boston buzzing about the arrival of the UFC® Fan Expo™ at the John B. Hynes Convention Center on August 27 and 28, the Ultimate Fighting Championship® turned up the heat today by announcing the list of fighters that will participate in the weekend of festivities.
  
• The Doomsday Doctrine It Aint Over Till Its Over
  Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - One of the great aspects of mixed martial arts is that a fight is never truly over until the final bell rings. It's a claim that few sports can make, as there are no 20-point touchdowns in football, a nine point shot in basketball, or a goal in hockey or soccer that awards five points. In other words, when it gets to a certain point, it's time to pack it in and accept your defeat.
  
• Steve Steinbeiss -Ready for Redemption
  Rhett Butler, UFC - For former kickboxer turned MMA fighter Steve Steinbeiss, when he entered the UFC he expected a different outcome. The event was UFC Fight Night: Diaz vs. Guillard and it was the UFC's first appearance in Oklahoma. The striker was facing a veteran talent in Ryan Jensen and the stage was all set to show why he was chosen for the biggest show in the sport.
  
• Featherweight title fight set for Sept 30 in Colorado
  One of the sport's pound-for-pound elite returns this fall to defend his title against one of the division's most dangerous fighters. Featherweight champion Jose Aldo, universally recognized as the number one ranked lighter weight fighter in MMA, makes the second defense of his crown against judo ace Manny Gamburyan when World Extreme Cagefighting® invades the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colo. on Thursday, Sept. 30.
  
• The Blueprint: Jones vs. Matyushenko
  Michael DISanto, UFC - Jon Jones will tell you that he has been in this position before, but he hasn't. Headlining a UFC event is a big deal. Distractions increase—from additional media interviews to multiple promotional appearances to friends coming out of the woodwork with advice and ticket requests—which means that the pressure to perform also increases.
  
• UFC Serves Subpoenas on Streaming Sites
  Zuffa, LLC, ("Zuffa"), the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®), announced today that it has served subpoenas on two streaming video websites, commanding them to reveal the identities of users who have uploaded video of live Pay-Per-View UFC events.
