Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - In a war of words, soft-spoken middleweight champion Anderson Silva would likely be on the losing end to his August 7th challenger, the loquacious Chael Sonnen. But fights are won and lost in the Octagon, and not in the press, and that's where Silva has reigned over the 185-pound division since late-2006.
Despite this, "The Spider" has had plenty to say over the years about his style, his upbringing, and his place in the MMA history books, and here's a sampling from the pound for pound king.

Michael DiSanto, UFC - It's amazing to think that Brock Lesnar's mixed martial arts career began just three years ago. During that time, he has competed five times, including four wins, a dominant performance over a living legend and, of course, he has both won and successfully defended the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

By Paul Daley - I'm packing my gear and ready to fly out of England. In case you haven't heard, it is Fraggle Hunting Season in Canada, and I've packed a ton of Semtex in my suitcase to blow that critter away. Some people think it is cruel to hunt Fraggles - and they are on the endangered species list - but like rats they are actually vermin with weird dirty hair and they have to be exterminated before they breed.

By Josh Koscheck - By the time you read this, it will be one more week until my fight with Paul Daley at UFC 113. This past week, I pretty much focused on making sure I got no cuts or injuries, and I worked my cardio hard, because the other hard work is pretty much done.

Frank Curreri, WEC - Those who labeled Dominick Cruz to be a light puncher must eat their words following his masterful performance night against WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles. The 4-to-1 underdog battered Bowles over two rounds with crisp punching combinations and leg kicks, and Cruz went back to his corner at the end of round two and did not return for a third round. The unbeaten champion told doctors his hand was broken and opted not to continue fighting, conceding his title to his tearful and overjoyed challenger.
