UFC on Versus 2 preview: Jones battles for "top eight" position on 205-pound ladder
UFC president Dana White says fast-rising light-heavyweight contender Jon Jones is undoubtedly one of the sport's top prospects.
However, he also says that the UFC on Versus 2 headliner has some big tests to pass before he's considered one of the sport's best.
In our official event preview, MMAjunkie.com's Steven Marrocco breaks down the latest test and why veteran opponent Vladimir Matyushenko thinks his years of experience could be the deciding factor in the Vesus-televised fight.

Cantu trade the right move, any moves left?
| A couple of days ago, the Marlins dealt Jorge Cantu away for a pair of minor leaguers, Evan Reed and Omar Poveda. I won’t pretend to know what these players are all about, but I’ll let prospect maven Bryan Smith of FanGraphs fill us in:
[Poveda] never had a particularly good fastball, so there has to be some concern that he’ll return to the mound without a heater to speak of. If so, it’s unlikely to project that he’d be able to carve out a big league career. But, he was a guy that had a feel for a change-up and [...] |
DON’T STOP BELIEVING
| Like the title of the popular song by the 70-80’s band journey, it seems that most if not all of the sports writers in this countryhave stopped believing. It doesn’t surprise me that they have because no matter what the Saints have accomplished in past years they never got respect and maybe rightfully so since in all previous years the bottom always fell-out and they would finish the mediocre team that everyone said they were, but not this time. It’s time the power rankings give us our due. I don’t know what kind of neighborhoods that these so-called sports [...] |

Denny Hamlin Talks About His “Disparaging Remarks”…With More Disparaging Remarks
| You’ve gotta love Denny Hamlin. He tells it like it is.
Hamlin was recently announced as one of two drivers fined for making “disparaging remarks” about NASCAR. According to sources, Hamlin was fined on two separate occasions; one coming after the Michigan race, and the other coming after Chicagoland.
Hamlin was fined for making comments about phantom debris cautions, as well as potential changes to the Chase.
Now, put yourself in Hamlin’s shoes. You’ve been fined twice this season for speaking your mind, so what do you do next? Do you shake it off and publicly make amends with NASCAR? Do you not [...] |

After two frustrating years, Mike Massenzio returns at UFC on Versus 2
It's been nearly 20 months since UFC middleweight Mike Massenzio stepped into the octagon.
After injuries and illness kept him away for so long, Massenzio surely feels the pressure going into his fight with former WEC champion Brian Stann on Sunday at UFC on Versus 2, right?
"I try not to think of it like that," Massenzio recently told MMAjunkie.com. "I love to fight, and I love to be in the UFC."

McCoy and Penn both sign contracts
| Finally, every member of the Buccaneers’ roster will be at camp. It was reported earlier that starting left tackle Donald Penn had agreed to a new long-term deal, but now, the details of the deal are out publicly. Penn inked a 6 year, $43 million deal. The new deal will pay him around $7 million per year.
But that’s not all Tampa has done in terms of signing their guys. The Bucs and rookie defensive tackle, Gerald McCoy, have finally reached a five-year deal. The terms of the deal regarding money have not been announced yet.
With these two key players locked up, they can [...] |

San Francisco Giant Trade Dealdine Rumors
| I’ll be updating this page as the day goes along…so keep checking back for new rumors.
As of this morning, all is quiet – but that’s mostly just the calm before the storm. The Giants need a lefty out of the pen. They’ve been in on a variety of guys, most notably Scott Downs and Will Ohman, but haven’t finished any deals off just yet. CSN BayArea’s Mychael Urban reported last night that the Giants were in some serious talks attempting to finish off a deal, but nothing was reported after that. So, pull your huggies up folks – it’s about [...] |
Qualls, Snyder Traded
| The trading merry-go-round continues as we near the deadline at 1pm Arizona time. Here is what we know so far:
Chad Qualls is gone. He has been traded to the Tampa Rays. The hard part of getting rid of Qualls was his salary. Many teams were looking for the Dbacks to pay his salary. Tampa has agreed to pay his salary for the rest of the season. Personally I think he’s pitched worth a bag of peanuts. Maybe a change of scenery will do him well.
Chris Snyder is gone. He was traded after league approval, to the Pittsburgh Pirates. D.J. Carrasco, [...] |
