UFC on FOX 15 had every MMA fans attention this past Saturday. Four big time fights highlighted the main card, and boy did they deliver. Women's Strawweight prospect Paige VanZant kept her hype train going with a dominate unanimous decision win over Felice Herrig. Another young fighter, Featherweight Max Holloway, added another victory to his win streak after defeating Cub Swanson via guillotine at 3:58 of round 3. Middleweight Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza made quick work of late replacement Chris Camozzi with an armbar at 2:33 of round 1. And in the main event Middleweight Luke Rockhold earned the biggest win of his career. Rockhold defeated former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida by way of rear naked choke at 2:31 of round 2. Rockhold's next fight will most likely be against the winner of Vitor Belfort and Chris Weidman for the Middleweight title.
Three bouts have been announced for UFC on FOX 16. The main event will feature a rematch between Bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw and Renan Barao. The co-main event will mark the return of Anthony "Showtime" Pettis as he faces off against Myles Jury. Finally, Jessica Eye and Miesha Tate will fight in a Women's Bantamweight contender fight.
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Phil Davis has signed with Bellator. Also signing with Bellator is former TUF contestant, Featherweight Justin Lawrence.
Cage Fury Fighting Championship has signed a television agreement with CBS Sports Network.
Several sources say former UFC Lightweight champion Benson Henderson will fight Micheal Johnson at the TUF 21 finale.
