- Brash Irishman Conor McGregor absolutely ran over Dennis Siver at UFC Fight Night 59, easily wrecking up the durable German with devastating strikes at 1:54 of the second round. McGregor's unparalleled skills on the mic, coupled with the violent manner in which he's dispatched his opponents, earned him a title shot at division ruler Jose Aldo at UFC 189 in July.
- Ricardo Lamas will continue his quest back up the 145-pound mountain against fellow former title challenger Chad Mendes at UFC Fight Night 63 on April 4.
- Patricio Freire continued his reign of terror over Bellator's lightweight division in January, submitting Daniel Straus via rear-naked choke with a mere 10 seconds remaining in the fourth round.
