The fight easily could have gone to Hawn, and one judge said it should have, scoring it 29-28 for Hawn. The other two judges scored it 29-28 for Hieron, who credited his training for getting him into the kind of shape he needed to be in to win three fights in Bellator's eight-man welterweight tournament.

"I just train my butt off, man," Hieron said. "No matter what's going on, I'm in the gym sweating."

Zuffa's yearly gathering of fighters brought 350 of MMA's best to Las Vegas. This was the first summit that included Strikeforce fighters, so it made for many strange interactions and pictures.  Here are some of the best.

Dana White and Josh Barnett hated each other ... until White bought Barnett's employer. Love Money changes everything.

Takanori Gomi clearly found the presentations riveting.

Man, Anderson Silva. Miesha Tate just wanted to take a picture with cool hipster glasses, and you had to go and photobomb it.

Strikeforce champion Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos and her husband Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos met their new employers.

Oh, cool. Just some fighters hanging out around my* orange Lamborghini. Don't scratch the finish, Meathead! From left: Ryan Bader, Urijah Faber, Cain Velasquez, Eddie Wineland, Matt Mitrione, Jake Ellenberger and Phil Davis.

See many, many more pictures from the week over at Combat Lifestyle.

* OK, so it's not technically mine. I drive a Honda Civic, which is basically the same thing as a Lamborghini.

In his weekly interview with MMAFighting.com, Nijem said that was a matchup he liked -- but not the matchup he requested.

Nijem talked about his game plan for Harvison, which member of Brock Lesnar's team he would have preferred to fight, and how he felt about the wild card fight between Chuck O'Neil and Javier Torres.

Nijem also weighed in on the annual coaches' challenge, which this year meant Lesnar and Junior dos Santos going through an obstacle course on Fertitta Field at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas.

The full interview is below.

Mon, 16 May 2011 17:55:18 -0700 Fighters give their take on Kobe vs. Pau http://munehay04.posterous.com/fighters-give-their-take-on-kobe-vs-pau http://munehay04.posterous.com/fighters-give-their-take-on-kobe-vs-pau

There's a delicate balance in the gym amongst training partners. Teammates in MMA are really no different than those in other sports. We've seen plenty of drama unfold in 2011 between for Jackson's MMA teammates Rashad Evans and Jon Jones, so when we brought up the Kobe Bryant vs. Pau Gasol rumors to several fighters, they had plenty to say.

If you're not an NBA fan, the Los Angeles Lakers were swept out of the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks. Lakers big man Gasol was underwhelming throughout the postseason and confirmed that he let problems off the court affect his play. Bill Plaschke from the L.A. Times:

"I have to learn from this," Gasol said. ''I have to learn that when something happens off the court, you have to keep it off the court."

He was referring to the report that he stopped talking to Bryant during the postseason because Bryant's wife, Vanessa, had contributed to the breakup of Gasol and his longtime girlfriend. Lakers fans will remember Karl Malone publicly accused Vanessa of interfering with his personal life in a similar fashion.

If the rumors are true, Kobe's reportedly had similar issues former teammates Karl Malone and Shaquille O'Neal.

Rashad Evans, Melvin Guillard and Anthony Johnson were all asked about how much dirt you're allowed to dish to your spouse about your teammates.

Mon, 16 May 2011 11:55:24 -0700 Gus Johnson's Contract Up at CBS http://munehay04.posterous.com/gus-johnsons-contract-up-at-cbs-0 http://munehay04.posterous.com/gus-johnsons-contract-up-at-cbs-0 by Michael David SmithGus Johnson, the lead mixed martial arts play-by-play man for CBS who has called many of the most-watched fights in the sport's history, is reportedly leaving the network.

Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated reports that Johnson, who's best known for calling college football and the NFL, is leaving after failing to come to terms on a new contract with the network. UPDATE: The New York Daily News reports that while Johnson's contract with CBS has expired, it's still possible he could reach a new deal.

It's not clear whether Johnson is also out at Showtime, where he has been both a boxing and MMA play-by-play voice. Johnson will still be part of Saturday night's Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley pay-per-view broadcast, but it seems unlikely that Johnson would stick around at Showtime, which a division of the CBS Corporation, for long.

Sun, 15 May 2011 20:55:18 -0700 Lima signs with Bellator, is he the best prospect at welterweight? http://munehay04.posterous.com/lima-signs-with-bellator-is-he-the-best-prosp http://munehay04.posterous.com/lima-signs-with-bellator-is-he-the-best-prosp

Douglas Lima has to be a patient guy as he works his way up the MMA ladder, but he doesn't operate that way in the cage. The 23-year-old welterweight, with 16 finishes in his 18, just signed a deal to compete in Bellator's quickly developing welterweight class. He put in his time in Canada with MFC and now it's time for a slot on American TV on MTV2.

"Over the last two years, Douglas has taken his game to an entirely different level," he said in a release. "Many considered him one of the top unsigned welterweights in MMA. I'm very happy to say that he's no longer unsigned and that he will be fighting for Bellator. We continue to develop one of the strongest 170-pound divisions in the sport, and Douglas will be a fantastic addition to that."

Lima (18-4) might get a chance to avenge one his losses against Brent Weedman, but more importantly wants to make an impression with Bellator.

"I always want to win, but sometimes it's almost more important for me to put on an exciting fight," Lima said. "I want to be in a fight where I can go home and watch in the next day and be like, 'Wow! That was awesome'. I want to put on the kind of performance that makes the people like me. I'm not going to go in there and just lay on a guy or run around the cage. When I step inside the cage, I'm ready to go to war. I'm not in there to play around."

Bellator's done a solid job of building it's 135 and 145 pounds divisions, but 170 is its best. The champ is uber-prospect Ben Askren. Jay Hieron just earned a shot against Askren by taking out Rick Hawn. Lyman Good and Dan Hornbuckle are also very solid fighters as well.

If Lima can storm through this division, he ranks right up there with the best prospects in the divisions. It's a deep weight class. The USA Today/Bloody Elbow rankings have Mike Pierce at No. 25 in the world. That's pretty solid.

Sun, 15 May 2011 17:55:19 -0700 Cain Velasquez could meet Brock Lesnar-Junior Dos Santos winner at UFC 136 in October http://munehay04.posterous.com/cain-velasquez-could-meet-brock-lesnar-junior http://munehay04.posterous.com/cain-velasquez-could-meet-brock-lesnar-junior By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

Cain_Velasquez_180_12.jpeg

UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez is being targeted for a return to action this October, as UFC President Dana White said on Saturday night he could return at the October 8 pay-per-view event in Houston, Texas.

The event, tentatively scheduled to be UFC 136, will be the UFC's first return to the Toyota Center since UFC 69 in 2007. That card saw Matt Serra upset Georges St. Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship.

Velasquez has been out of action since capturing the title from Brock Lesnar last October, suffering a shoulder injury in the fight that has required surgery and extensive rehab. He'll face the winner of the Brock Lesnar vs. Junior Dos Santos fight at UFC 131 in Vancouver this June in his first title defense.

Dos Santos was of course scheduled to meet Velasquez this spring, but took the bout with Lesnar when Velasquez was forced to undergo surgery. Velasquez will either still get that matchup, or he will rematch Lesnar nearly a year after defeating him to capture the belt.

Penick's Analysis: The UFC is doing a great job this year of building consistently strong and entertaining fight cards. They've yet to book the one major fight to draw a million+ pay-per-view buys, but they are keeping strong with big fights. Velasquez's return fight could be huge if it's the rematch with Lesnar, but the Velasquez fight in October wouldn't be nearly as big as it could have been this spring. Velasquez hasn't had a chance to follow up on the Lesnar win, and with it being out of mind for most by the time his return comes around the buyrate could suffer. Still, they could build up to his return in some capacity as the fight draws nearer to offset some of that, but again it's going to hinge on the June 11 event.

But Machida showed in his knockout victory over Randy Couture on UFC 129 that even more significant than a unique style is his unique talent: Machida can do things inside the Octagon that no one else can do.

Think for a moment about what it really means to say that Machida has a unique style: It doesn't mean that he's aware of some secret method of fighting; the style he employs is based on karate, which is studied by millions around the world. What it really means is that what he can do with karate is different from what all those other millions of karate students can do.

That's about talent. That's what makes Machida special.
