Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight number one contender Carlos Condit, who held the 170-pound strap for World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), has been hovering at the top of the division for the past couple of years. What kept him from going all the way, was his inability to neutralize good wrestling. That's an aspect of his overall game "The Natural Born Killer" wants to improve before he makes his return to the Octagon, which could be as early as August, if UFC has its way, but may not be until September, according to manager Malki Kawa. From

his conversation with MMA's Great Debate Radio: "There actually is a fight on the radar. The UFC has been talking about a fight for Carlos Condit, but Carlos right now at this moment is looking to improve his wrestling. He's really concentrating on that a lot. I think his timetable is September, and I think the UFC wants him to come back and fight some time in August. So we'll see what happens, I think right now he really wants to perfect his wrestling." Better late than never.

Newport Beach, CA. (May 20, 2013) - With a division already boasting the likes of Ben Askren, Paul Daley, Douglas Lima, Ben Saunders, Andrey Koreshkov and Karl Amoussou, Matt Riddle knows he will be swimming in "Deep Waters" when he enters the Bellator Welterweight Tournament this Fall as Bellator has signed a long-term promotional agreement with the controversial Pennsylvania native. Riddle joins Bellator coming off four straight victories with the UFC, but was recently released as he failed his post-fight drug test after his victory over Che Mills. Known for his

strong wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu background along with a stifling takedown defense, Riddle is ready to challenge himself against the best in the world inside the Bellator cage. "I had so many options after I left the UFC, but knowing that I was able to compete in a tournament against guys like Paul Daley, Ben Saunders, and Douglas Lima, signing with Bellator was an easy decision," Riddle said. "This division is just so stacked, and being able to fight in a tournament makes it even better. Bellator is doing a lot of great things right now, and I want to be a part of it." Bellator CEO & Chairman Bjorn Rebney understands some of the risks involved with signing Riddle, but after discussions with Riddle, Rebney is...(Read Full Article)

Just because he's the current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion and has won seven straight fights in his division -- including two title defenses -- doesn't make Ben Henderson the best 155-pound mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter in the world. At least, not according to Gray Maynard. Appearing on today's (May 20, 2013) edition of "The MMA Hour," Maynard declared that "Smooth" is "tough to beat" and the current king of the lightweights, but that doesn't necessarily make him the best in his weight class. Especially seeing as how Henderson's last three fights against
