If you’ve got 9.5 minutes to spare, check out this extended trailer for UFC 92, which runs down the event’s three marquee matchups. I have to say, I literally LOL’d at the 3:13-3:15 mark, where Dana White describes the Forrest Griffin/Rashad Evans fight as "the hard worker vs. the explosive athlete" — which, as every sports fan knows, is barely-concealed shorthand for "the white guy vs. the black guy." Later, the Nog/Mir bout is previewed, with Mir aptly describing Minotauro as "like a zombie…like Frankenstein. Every time you kill him, you think he’s dead, and the motherfucker rises again." Finally, we get another look at Rampage/Wandy III, which thankfully includes some PRIDE footage (which Zuffa seemingly only pulls out for very special occasions). Silva on Jackson: "I know he remembers my knee." And so do we, Wanderlei.
Speaking of UFC promos, the first episode of "UFC Primetime: St. Pierre vs. Penn" will debut January 14th on Spike TV. Each 30-minute episode — there will be three in total, airing Wednesdays at 10:30 — will profile the UFC’s current welterweight and lightweight champions as they prepare for their much-anticipated rematch at UFC 94 (January 31st, Las Vegas). The shows will be modeled after the popular 24/7 series on HBO, which has helped publicize boxing matches like Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr., and most recently, Joe Calzaghe vs. Roy Jones Jr.
Bonus, after the jump: Depending on the result of De La Hoya/Pacquiao boxing match on Saturday, either Roger Huerta or Brandon Vera will be wearing a chicken suit in a heavily-trafficked area.

IN TUF ALL YOU HEAR IS HIM SCREAMING BREAK IT EVERY TIME THIS TOOL IS ON HE HAS TO TALK ABOUT BREAKING ARMS..
Shut the fuck up already. All you do is post about how much you hate what this site does but you post on every article. So if it sucks so much why are you always on here? And CP doesn't have to talk about pre Zuffa MMA because you do every chance you get, were all already sick of hearing about from you. So please do us all a favor and fuck off already.
And Jackson vs Silva will be diffrent than the first 2 times they met cuz this time its in a cage.
And I also pray Mir loses so we can see Minotauro face Lesnar and finally unify the belts as should have been done in the first place.
and yeah, huerta is the gayest straight guy ever
1.) Intellect
2.) Knowledge of the sport before the ZUFFA acquirement and subsequent incremental watering- down of the Sport, especially the Grappling side of MMA.
3.) Pubic Hair.
4.) No tolerance whatsoever of the pathetic infantile antics and urine drinking glorified on TUF, where so called "Ultimate" "Fighters" regularly break down and cry like the little spoilt little Western Pussies that they are. Or they roll around clutching their stomach while their shrunken penises are showing. Or they piss in each other's beds. Or wipe other people's gear between their asses. Oh and if you're not disgusted with yourself for watching TUF, well you're an asshole.
5.) Knowledge of LEGITIMATE MMA journalists like Eddie Goldman from No Holds Barred.
Fact is that St. Pierre is one of if not the most explosive athletes in the UFC. Brock Lesnar can't be mentioned without the word "athletic" and "explosive".
I think you, the author, shouldn't be mentioned without the tag line "small minded and often wrong".
