Elliot Worsell, UFC - The date was November 14, 2009 and the opponent was Denis Kang. For Britain's Michael 'The Count' Bisping, nine minutes with Kang was enough to transfer negative thoughts to positive ones and, crucially, restore every ounce of his crumbled confidence.

LAS VEGAS - Whether or not you feel former UFC champion Tito Ortiz won his November 2009 rematch with Forrest
Griffin, almost
every MMA observer and fan agreed on one thing: Ortiz's post-fight
injury report probably wasn't appropriate.

Ortiz is aware of the criticism, but he promises to be physically ready
for his summer bout with opposing "The Ultimate Fighter 11" coach Chuck
Liddell.

In fact, the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" told MMAjunkie.com
that if he's not feeling up to
the task, he promises to withdraw from the fight rather than offer any
post-event explanations for his performance.

We've known since November that former NFL star Herschel Walker (0-0 MMA, 0-0 SF) would
make his professional MMA debut on Jan. 30 at "Strikeforce: Miami" at
BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla.

Now we know who he'll face.

MMAjunkie.com has learned from sources close to the
promotion that Walker will meet two-time Rage in the Cage veteran Greg
Nagy (1-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
