Uriah Hall was everyone's pick for the guy to beat this season and after episode 3 of The Ultimate Fighter Season 17, he is the guy that everyone will be scared of as well. On last nights episode, Hall landed the most devastating spinning back-kick KO against Cella late in the first round.

You won't want to miss the most incredible finish in TUF history - The Ultimate Fighter Team Jones vs Team Sonnen, all-new tonight at 9pm on FX.

UFC 156 went down this past weekend from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Earlier today the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the salaries for the fighters who competed on the UFC 156 fight card.
The number one contender for Anderson Silva's middleweight championship has been a toss up for the past month or so. Many fans and critics think that the undefeated Chris Weidman should get the next shot.

Following the first two rounds of last nights UFC 156 main event, I leaned over to a buddy and said, "Jose Aldo will move up to lightweight after this fight." However my mood changed at the end of round five. Frankie Edgar rallied to win a couple of rounds in one judges eyes and in a ton of fans, so in that I believe he still has a few tests to prove himself at the 145 pound weight class.
The main event at UFC 156 was being dubbed a super-fight, as the former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar made the drop to 145lbs to take on the champ Jose Aldo.
