UFC issues statement regarding Sunday’s UFC.com hack
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
On Sunday night, a hacker group redirected UFC.com visitors to a site called UGNazi.com, claiming the hack was in response to the UFC’s support of the controversial SOPA and PIPA bills in Congress. The UFC has now issued an official response (via MMAFighting.com):
“On Sunday, January 22nd, the UFC.com website was redirected by a criminal hacker to another website. The UFC website was quickly restored to the control of the UFC, and there is no evidence suggesting that any confidential information belonging to the company or its customers was compromised by the re-direction of the website. UFC representatives are continuing to investigate the matter and are working with law enforcement agents to prosecute those involved.”

We’ve had a lot of Gina Carano coverage lately, as the onetime Strikeforce title contender has been making the rounds to promote her movie “Haywire.” This might be considered piling on, but during her appearance on Conan O’Brien’s show, she talked about why she got into MMA and how fighting is like sex. It’s not quite NSFW, but definitely PG.

By <a href="mailto:howie@mmanews.com">Chris Howie</a> <Br>
MMANEWS.COM Staff Writer<Br><Br>
"King Mo" Lawal has no plans to appeal a positive drug test for performance enhancing drugs according to manager Mike Kogan.<Br><Br>
Kogan told <a href=http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/01/23/mo-lawal-wont-appeal-positive-test-for-steroids-but-will-file/>Ariel Helwani</a> this week that the camp won't appeal due to Lawal not knowing taking the banned substance.<br><Br>
Kogan explained:<Br><Br>
"Since we're not contesting the findings of the commission test, we're not challenging the chain of custody, we're not pointing fingers at anybody and we're not calling for conspiracy theories, I don't believe we'll actually file an appeal per se," Kogan told Helwani. "What we will file is an answer, and an answer would involve affirming their test results and providing our findings and our explanation."<Br><Br>
The guilty party, according to Kogan and Lawal, is a supplement called S-Mass Lean Gainer by Rock Solid, which Lawal said he bought at a Max Muscle store in California and used only sporadically for "rehab stuff," the fighter explained. It was recommended to him by a Max Muscle employee some time in April of 2010, he said, though it's since been removed from the market, according to Kogan, who admitted he had no knowledge that Lawal was taking any supplements at all prior to his positive drug screening.<Br><Br>
"To the best of my research, this product was taken off the shelves some time in mid-2011, for exactly the same reason that we're facing right now. Its primary and only relevant ingredient of that particular product is a substance known as Methyldrostanolone, which is basically just a pill format of Drostanolone," Kogan said.<Br><Br>

Edson Barboza was cruising towards a solid victory, but that wasn’t enough. The Brazilian decided to try a spectacular spinning heel kick (some called it a wheel kick) and Terry Etim’s face was the unfortunate recipient.
Etim went down in a heap, his right arm stuck in the air. The Brazilian scored the third-round finish at the 2:02 mark to record his fourth victory in the UFC in the opener of the pay-per-view portion of UFC 142 in Rio de Janeiro.
What a way to kick off the PPV show at HSBC in Barboza’s homeland. The fight was actually starting to get a little stale. Barboza used his low kicks to settle into a good scoring groove, but he didn’t look like he was going to try for the kill.
The kick was perfectly executed and Etim never saw it coming. UFC analyst Joe Rogan said it was the first spinning heel kick knockout in the history of the UFC.
“When you fight in Brazil, it’s unlike fighting in any other place in the world. In a fight, you try things and hope they work. Tonight, it (the kick) worked. It’s something I’ve practiced a lot and I finally was able to land it hard,” Barboza said.
Barboza (10-0) is a perfect 4-0 in the UFC while Etim (15-4, 6-4 UFC) has lost 2-of-3.

By <a href="mailto:howie@mmanews.com">Chris Howie</a> <Br>
MMANEWS.COM Staff Writer<Br><Br>
The following is a list of quotes from the ?UFC on FUEL TV: Post Fight Show? for UFC On FX: GUILLARD vs. MILLER<Br><Br>
Jay Glazer and Stephan Bonnar hosted the ?UFC on FUEL TV: Post Fight Show,? while Ariel Helwani conducted exclusive post-fight interviews backstage. Here?s a rundown of what was said:<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar on Jim Miller?s future: ?He?s probably the number-two contender now. He?s up there. I think he?s about one fight away from the title.?<Br><Br>
Jay Glazer and Stephan Bonnar interview Jim Miller on set: ?It doesn?t happen often, but I got knocked down. Melvin is an animal. Melvin hit me hard, the hardest I?ve ever gotten hit.<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar asked Jim Miller if he got the submission of the night: ?Yes, I got the submission of the night.?<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar on Melvin Guillard losing to Jim Miller: ?Melvin should learn a lesson and be a little more patient on the ground. Don?t be so anxious. It?s all about not getting submitted.?<Br><Br>
Ariel Helwani asked Melvin Guillard about his fight: ?I think I fought the perfect fight. I knocked him down. He caught my back and it?s ironic because I?ve been working on back escapes. I could tell I hurt him and he didn?t want to be in there with me at one point. I need to work harder on my Jiu-Jitsu. That?s why I?m working with the Blackzilians.?<Br><Br>
Josh Neer about who he wants to fight next: ?I want to just keep moving up and fight a tough guy.? <Br><Br>
Josh Neer about losing his mouthpiece during the fight: ?I didn?t intentionally throw out my mouthpiece. I was still fighting for 30 seconds after that.?<Br><Br>
Jay Glazer and Stephan Bonnar asked Josh Neer about his win: ?He hit me with some good shots and I was able to survive it and come out with a win. I felt my legs wobble a little bit. I was able to get the take down and get the submission. I think my mental game has changed. Try to get on top and defend the takedown a little more. I?m trying to get to the top just like anyone else.?<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar on Duane Ludwig losing the fight: ?Duane looked crisp, but he got caught on the ground. Josh Neer is really good on the ground and that was Duane?s mistake.?<Br><Br>
Ariel Helwani interviewed Duane Ludwig on what when wrong: ?I got caught. I just hesitated for a second and he got the choke out. He was getting popped up a little bit and then lost his mouthpiece to get a breather.?<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar on Pat Barry beating Christian Morecraft: This is a new Pat Barry, he really showed composure on the ground. He?s just all around improved. <Br><Br>
Jay Glazer and Stephan Bonnar interview Pat Barry about how close he was to getting submitted: ?I would like to tell you that they were not close submissions, but I don?t know.?<Br><Br>
Pat Barry on not finishing fights with submissions: ?I?m not going to cut my hair until I submit someone. I might become Clay Guida.?<Br><Br>
Jay Glazer asked about Pat Barry about hanging out with Christian Morecraft two days before the fight: ?I don?t think that this applies to everyone, but I don?t have to hate you to fight you.?<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar on Mike Easton?s win over Jared Papazian: ?This was a great fight. I think it was the fight of the night. I?m really impressed by Jared Papazian, but he didn?t get the win. But with Easton, I was most impressed on his energy and intensity.?<Br><Br>
Ariel Helwani asked Mike Easton on his win over Jared Papazian: ?I knew [Jared] was a tough guy. So why not, let?s just stand toe-to-toe and swing it. We were both scrapping. I think the takedowns and being aggressive helped me get the win. I still have to get better all around. I can only get better.?<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar on Jorge Rivera beating Eric Schafer: ?Duane Ludwig and Melvin Guillard should watch this fight. This is a lesson on how to be patient on the ground with a dangerous submission artist on top of you. Jorge Rivera stayed patient and protected himself. He bought his time and finally turned things around with some ground and pound to take Schafer out.?<Br><Br>
Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones on who he wants to fight next: ?I want to fight Rashad. He?s the antagonist of my career.?<Br><Br>
Jon Jones on Dan Henderson: ?He?s a great fighter. I know what he brings to the table and I?ll be ready for him.? <Br><Br>
Jay Glazer asked Jon Jones about the bad blood between him and Rashad Evans: ?There?s no just pumping up pay per views when it comes to me and Rashad. Everything about us disliking each other is true. After we fight each other it?ll all be clear and he can go have a seat somewhere.?<Br><Br>
Stephan Bonnar asked Jon Jones about a super fight with Anderson Silva: ?People do want to see it. My job is to fight the best fighters in the world. If the UFC asks me to do it, I?ll do it.?<Br><Br>
Jon Jones pick on Evans vs. Davis: ?I?m picking Rashad Evans. I?m in his corner.?<Br><Br>
