Nick Catone is regrouping at a new gym after
suffering three herniated discs in his back which forced him to withdraw
from a planned fight with John Salter at UFC 113.

The UFC middleweight told MMAjunkie.com that he has
joined the Renzo Gracie Fight Team out of UFC welterweight Ricardo
Almeida's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Hamilton, N.J., which hosts
around 25 fighters including UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.

In the course of the move, the New Jersey native Catone decided he wants
to drop from the middleweight to the welterweight class.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship confirmed all of the bouts for “UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans” event.

UFC 114 is set for Saturday May 29th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and will be headlined by former light-heavyweights Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and “Suga” Rashad Evans.

A UFC superstar and former light heavyweight champion, Forrest Griffin (fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev. / professional record 17-6) knows what it takes to be successful in the Octagon™. Coming off of a split-decision victory over Tito Ortiz in a highly anticipated rematch, Griffin looks to build off of this victory in his quest to regain the light heavyweight title. Standing in his way will be a difficult challenge. Half of one of the most respected brother duos in mixed martial arts, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil / 18-3) has plans of his own in the light heavyweight division. Holder of a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Nogueira also has impressive boxing skills which he used in his UFC debut to dismantle Luiz Cane via first round TKO. Fireworks are sure to be produced when these two veterans of the sport collide.

Coming off a three-round war with MMA legend Wanderlei Silva, Michael Bisping (fighting out of Manchester, England / 19-3) is back with victory on his mind. The U.K. superstar with devastating stand-up ability looks to impose his will on another veteran of the UFC in Dan Miller (fighting out of Whippany, N.J. / 11-3, 1 NC), an accomplished wrestler who was recently awarded his black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu from Renzo Gracie black belt Jamie Cruz. Miller and Bisping are both hungry for a victory in what is sure to be an exciting matchup.

All competitors from this past month's UFC 111 event tested negative for performance-enhancing drugs as well as recreations drugs/drugs of abuse.

The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board's Nick Lembo today confirmed the drug-tests with MMAjunkie.com.

UFC 111 took place March 27 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and aired on Spike TV and pay-per-view.

Last year World Extreme Cagefighting officials first confirmed the addition of a flyweight division.

More than a year later, though, the organization remains void of flyweights fights, and no bouts are on the horizon.

While in Newark, N.J., for last week's UFC 111 event, WEC General Manager Reed Harris said the organization still plans to do add the 125-pound division but that the promotion's three existing weight classes remain a priority.

As a remember, the debut edition of M-1 Global's "M-1 Selection
Americas" tournament takes place tonight in Atlantic City, N.J.

HDNet's Mike Straka and MMAjunkie.com's John Morgan will take to the
broadcast booth to call the action from the first-ever mixed martial
arts card at Bally's Atlantic City.

Straka and Morgan replace veteran broadcasters Jimmy Smith and Sean
Wheelock who recently departed for a similar gig at Bellator Fighting
Championships.

After earning a series-high 1.9 million viewers for its UFC 109 broadcast, Spike TV's "UFC Prelims" broadcast for this past weekend's UFC 111 event dipped to 1.2 million viewers, MMAjunkie.com today confirmed with an industry source.

The two-fight March 27 broadcast, which featured Nate Diaz vs. Rory Markhman and Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Brown, faced stiff competition from tail end of the Elite Eight round of the NCAA basketball tournament.

After enduring a year-long layoff, Shane Carwin posted his most remarkable win to date at UFC 111 with a violent first-round TKO of Frank Mir at this past weekend's UFC 111 event in Newark, N.J.

For Carwin, who twice had scheduled bouts with heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar fall apart, he and fans alike worked hard to keep his name in the MMA forefront - with feature stories, blog posts, Twitter updates and fan appearances - before he won the interim belt and another booking with Lesnar.

However, now that UFC president Dana White has confirmed Cain Velasquez additionally has already earned a title shot, can the fellow contender also stay relevant during an extended layoff?

Saturday night’s UFC 111 event saw six medical suspensions handed down by the The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board who also issued one suspension for disciplinary reasons.

UFC 111 took place Saturday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and aired on Spike TV (two preliminary-card fights) and then pay-per-view (main card).

Brazilian fighter Rousimar Palhares was issued with a 90 day suspension for failing to release his submission hold in time. Palhares locked in a heel-hook on opponent Tomasz Drwal in the first minute after Drwal slipped in the center of the ring. The submission can be very dangerous to an opponents knee and is often banned in lower-level competitions. Palhares locked the submission in putting Drawal in a lot of visible pain, failing to release the hold even after the Polish fighter tapped repeatedly and had to be pried off by referee Kevin Mulhall.

Drwal was handed an indefinite suspension pending an x-ray to his left knee and ankle.

Also given indefinite suspensions were Jared Hamman and Matthew Riddle.

The full UFC 111 fighter suspensions are as follows:

- Frank Mir: Suspended 30 days for precautionary reasons
- Mark Bocek: Suspended 30 days for scalp laceration
- Rory Markham: Suspended 30 days for facial laceration
- Rousimar Palhares: Suspended 90 days for not releasing submission
- Tomasz Drwal: Suspended indefinitely pending X-ray of left knee and ankle
- Jared Hamman: Suspended indefinitely pending X-rays of right foot; also suspended minimum of 60 days due to lacerations on right foot
- Matthew Riddle: Suspended indefinitely pending CT scan

NEWARK, N.J. - UFC president Dana White can keep a secret. He just can't always keep the secret that he has a secret.

Following Saturday's UFC 111 event at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. - the latest blockbuster event for the world's top fight promotion - White dropped some hints.

Soon after telling MMAjunkie.com about his plans for international editions of "The Ultimate Fighter," White said a UFC 113 co-headliner between top contenders Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley could have something extra riding on the line besides a potential title fight with UFC welterweight champion and UFC 111 main-event winner Georges St-Pierre.
