If all the fighter appearances, Hall of Fame inductions, grappling superfights, and Kimbo sightings aren't enough of an incentive to check out the UFC Fan Expo (July 10+11, Mandalay Convention Center, Las Vegas), maybe this will convince you. From UFC.com:

It’s the Ultimate gig in the world of sports modeling, and when The Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) decided to search for potential new Octagon Girls™, it reached out to the only magazine devoted to discovering new beauty around the world: Maxim, the largest young men’s lifestyle magazine in America. The result? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for attendees of the UFC® Fan Expo™ to be on hand when the winner of the first-ever Maxim UFC® Octagon Girl™ Search is chosen at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, July 11th, just hours before the lights go down for the biggest event in mixed martial arts history, UFC 100.

Jon Fitch on Talking Smack, UFC 100, and Fighting a Man in a Dress

Jon Fitch

At UFC 100 next weekend Jon Fitch takes on Paulo Thiago, the relatively unknown Brazilian who shocked his teammate Josh Koscheck in his first UFC fight.  Here he tells us why he's not playing along with the revenge storyline in this fight, or any storyline in any fight, for that matter, and he ponders what it might take for him to get the rematch he wants against UFC welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre.

You came out to fight Akihiro Gono right after his epic evening gown entrance.  What was that like?

I was backstage right behind him, just a few feet away in the staging tunnel, and I saw these girls in dresses.  I was like, ‘Why are the ring girls up here?’  Then I realized, oh shit, it’s Gono and his cornermen.  I put my head down and didn’t watch the entrance because I didn’t want to start laughing.  

The funniest thing was in between rounds when I look over and see this girl in pantyhose and a little bit of skirt hanging out below a t-shirt running into the Octagon.  I was like, ‘What is she doing in the cage?’  Then, again, I realized it was Gono’s corner.  They didn’t have time to change.  They took off the wigs but just put t-shirts on over the dresses.  So that was a little distracting.  I told Crazy Bob that I’m going to do that to him next time, put him in a dress.

Did you ever think, ‘Man, if I lose to a guy who came out in a dress I’ll never live it down?’

Big Time Actor Alert: Don Frye Intimidates Movie Audiences with Role in "Public Enemies"

Don Frye
(Big deal, so you went to Julliard.  Don Frye studied at the prestigious Pride FC Institute for the Performing Arts.)

As those of you who rushed to the movie theater to see the John Dillinger film “Public Enemies” already know, MMA icon Don Frye brings some much-needed mustacheness to the movie in his role as Clarence Hurt.  This is a pretty big deal for Frye, whose previous movie roles have included such characters as “Nation Member” and “Soldier Ant” and “Long-Haired Aryan Brother.”  This is a summer blockbuster movie in which he actually has a character name and as many as one (1) lines.  Okay, it’s not so much a line as it is two words, but the way he delivers those two words makes Johnny Depp look like even more of a pussy.  Congrats, Don.  You do us all proud.
