Light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida came into Staples Center in Los Angeles on an impressive streak that included not having lost a round since making his UFC debut in 2007. That streak swiftly came to an end when he met ...

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin will try to derail the title aspirations of Antonio Rogerio Nogueria if and when the two meet at the upcoming UFC 113 event from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on May 1, according to Tatame.com.

The last time he was going up against a very weak UFC 103 card headlined by a catchweight bout between Vitor Belfort and Rich Franklin.
