Rafael dos Anjos  has flown largely under the radar in his run to a UFC title shot, and he admits that’s probably because he’s a bit on the reserved side when it comes to hyping a fight. But he warns not to let that color your opinion on his chances.

Uriah Hall has won three in a row in the UFC. | Jeff Sherwood/Sherdog.com “The Ultimate Fighter 17” finalist Uriah Hall will meet Rafael Natal in a middleweight showdown at UFC 187 . Promotion officials announced the matchup on Thursday. UFC 187 takes place on May 23 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a light heavyweight title tilt between Jon Jones and Anthony Johnson . After struggling in his first two Octagon appearances, Hall has won three straight fights with the Las Vegas-based promotion. In his most recent outing, “Primetime” scored a first-round stoppage of short-notice foe Ron Stallings at UFC Fight Night “McGregor vs. Siver” on Jan. 18. The 30-year-old also owns wins over Thiago Santos and Chris Leben during his promotional tenure. A 12-time Octagon veteran, Natal enters the bout with Hall having won two straight fights. “Sapo” concluded his 2014 campaign with a split-decision triumph over Chris Camozzi before kicking off 2015 with a three-round verdict against Tom Watson at UFC 183.

Her sister,  Maria Burns Ortiz , is a sports journalist who serves as the social media columnist for ESPN.com and is a contributor to FOX Latino. Ortiz wrote a great feature about Ronda with 5 facts you probably don't know about the transcendent star. I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't share this fun piece with our readers, so I have chosen two of those facts for here and will link you to the  ESPN post to read the rest.

Now, you know, what happens when you're going against a man, they put a little more power behind their punches, the knockout power is stronger, and who knows, they can muscle out of submissions a little crazier. But I'll tell you what, once she's latched onto a limb, I don't care who's limb it is, they're going to tap. That's for sure. She finds ways to incorporate her entire body, the leverage of her whole body, against the joint that she's attacking. So, I wouldn't put it past her, but I don't know if I'd go so far as to claim [she'd beat most male UFC bantamweights]. It's just, I know what Ronda's capable of and I know for sure that it's not fair, it's not competitive where she's at right now. Because man, she's just too good. I just don't see any woman in the world beating her.

"I want to be one of the pay-per-view kings in the UFC," Pettis said. "I think there's a path right now set up for someone to come in and take over, and I can be that guy. I have the fighting style and people like seeing me fight. I don't plan on changing that. I just need to keep doing what I do and everything will happen."

Yeah. But, I don't think so. I need to check for old supplement I used. Because, I never fought the commission in this sport. I'm very happy because the commission help me, I help commission. I go to work together [with] the commission. Because, I think this is bad for the sport, it's so bad for me in my life, because I never use nothing for change my performance in the fight.

Tim B. takes a look at who the current lineal title holder is for every single Ultimate Fighter show over the years.

You know Ronda Rousey fights are short because animators can crank out their own versions of em in under a week. First it was wood engraving and now Ronda comes to the world of claymation. Amazing stuff!

Writing, much like fighting, is an art form exposing oneself to criticism or praise, becoming vulnerable and laying it all on the line in the hopes of reaching others. I love this website, I love the personalities within it, and I am honored to be a part of it all. I hope I’ll be held to the same standard and in the same regard as the other talented writers here at Bloody Elbow, and I look forward to growing with the community. Thanks again, and happy reading.

UFC bantamweight champion  Ronda Rousey  has become so dominant in the women's division that promoter Dana White has gone so far as to joke that he may start matching her up against men to fight, from now on. Not too long ago, reporter Aaron Tru  made the mistake of questioning whether or not "Rowdy" Ronda had the skills to take on a man.

Be honest... when we say Nebraska, you think of corn. It's ok- no judgement here, but what if we told you there was a whole world of awesome nature, scenery, and even bizarre roadside attractions (Like Carhenge ) all along one awesome drive: The Sandhills Journey. Our friend Rachel Bowes from 4Wheel Drive gives you the low-down on this great drive...

I smoked pot from the age of 18 to 55, daily if I had it. I met hundreds of people over that time period, many were friends that also smoked pot daily if they had it. None of these people turned to hard drugs. But a few of them, including my oldest brother became alcoholics. That screwed up there lives. These same people would run out of pot and it was no big deal. My brother was murdered on September 1st, 2014 along with 3 other men by a guy who gave his self up to the police and said he did it for the money, about $1000.00. He said he did it because he was a COKE addict. The point I’m making is know one would do this just to bye pot, or it would be 1 in 100million. The world has been smoking pot in recent times since the 60’s and the world has been cruising along just fine. People are going to smoke it whether it is legal or not, why because you don’t have to make it like COKE,METH and so on, just plant it and stand back. Take the states that have approved it, the people that are smoking it were already smoking it so nothing is going to change. There was a story on TV about 2 years ago were a guy had 3 pot plants that he was growing for his personal use.

After his first violation, back in 2006, he ignored his suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission by fighting in England. Years later, the UFC kept him fighting abroad, outside the jurisdiction of credible and strong commissions while he used a drug treatment (testosterone replacement therapy) that then-Nevada commission executive director Keith Kizer said that he'd be unlikely to receive a therapeutic use exemption for if he applied for one in the state -- the world's fight capital and the home of the UFC -- because of his past steroid use.

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson believes that Manny Pacquiao will be too much to handle for Floyd Mayweather when the two fighters clash on May 2 in Las Vegas. Watch the video below as Tyson discusses why the Filipino ring icon's activity inside the ring will spell trouble for the unbeaten American champion.

But behind the appeal of Indian food — what makes it so novel and so delicious — is also a stranger and subtler truth. In a large new analysis of more than 2,000 popular recipes, data scientists have discovered perhaps the key reason why Indian food tastes so unique: It does something radical with flavors, something very different from what we tend to do in the United States and the rest of Western culture. And it does it at the molecular level.

The oldest video footage of New York City is really pretty incredible to watch. This version has some graphics added so that viewers can see exactly where these landmarks fall in modern day New York.

"Well, I'll tell you, a lot of things. I mean I feel bad for him. Honestly. Anderson's had this long run and then of course when something like this happens the fans are going to start asking, 'Well, how long has he been on this stuff?' And for him to have such a run the way that he did and to come back from an injury the way that he did, it's just, it's a shame to think that that is going to tarnish his reputation -- like, that that's what he'll leave his career on. Even if he doesn't leave now, that's the overriding factor that's going to be remembered. Much like Lance Armstrong," Franklin said.

We often ask ourselves why we spend so much time chasing such an elusive species. It's simple, once you start musky fishing you can't stop. This project is our best way of showing and explaining our passion for the sport of chasing muskies, the fish of 10,000 casts... Is it addiction, yes, but more so an OBSESSION.

“To fight Tito would be an absolute honor, because this dude’s a legend in the sport,” he said. “But for him to say that he’s going to capture the belt and defend it once, that’s him living in his little dreamworld. I’ve got the belt, and it’s time for me. There’s no defend it once and lose it – I’m keeping a hold of that.”

I honestly don't know. It seems weird that one of the first details of the movie would come from a random, high-ranking Sony executive on Twitter, but it seems even weirder for that high-ranking Sony executive to randomly share Battle Cat art that isn't in some way involved in the long-in-development movie project. I certainly hope it's real, because it is awesome , and I'm not just saying that as a crazed He-Man fan.

Ronda Rousey defends her title by submitting Cat Zingano with a spectacular armbar in a record-breaking 14 seconds! Ronda has never used this variation of the armbar, and the submission was so fast that no one could comprehend what she did. To help you understand, Ryron and Rener break down every second of the fight including the pivotal moment where Cat's decision "keep the head" costed her to give up her arm and lose the fight. Is there anyone left for Ronda? Leave a comment as let us know!

"The Sports Guru? Ya he's a DJ named Adam Nagel (DJ is a bit strong since he's on the air for 1 hour a week) on Brookdale Student Radio at Brookdale Community College,” Schilling blasted. “How do you think that place feels about this stud representing their school? You don't think this isn't going to be a nice compilation that will show up every single time this idiot is googled the rest of his life? What happens when a potential woman he's after googles and reads this?" he wrote on his blog.

I like how he lumps the entertainers in with the Negroes, Hispanics and Filipinos. Bing Crosby must have hated that guy. Listen: if jazz and swing music are the product of marijuana use, then marijuana is even more awesome than you think it is. But that’s not even his best line. Try this one : “Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.” Yeah, well, we certainly can’t have that. We can’t have the “coloreds” getting high. Next thing you know, they’ll be putting on airs or getting uppity, not because all human beings have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but because of marijuana. Better to put them in jail before they get any big ideas about “equality”. Could it be that the laws prohibiting marijuana are founded on racism and fear? Is this the reason why blacks are arrested 3.7 times more often than whites , even though blacks and whites use cannabis at about the same rate? I will let you draw your own conclusions. I deal in facts.

Because he has better offensive techniques Samuel Ha:  “The subtle feints and the crazy angles will pose a serious problem for Floyd, like it has done all of Pacquiao’s other opponents. The question is, how long will it take Mayweather to adjust to the feints and angles of Pacquiao?  Mayweather needs to be able to read them and not fall for them(easier said than done), or make Pacquiao miss because the more impatient he misses, the less he feints and the more wild he gets.”

Best known for his powerful single- and double-leg takedowns and dominating positioning on the ground, Clifford Starks comes from a wrestling background having taken up the sport as a young teenager. He can end matches with submissions – his first and last fight ended with a keylock and guillotine, respectively – or through brutal g’n’p. However; the majority of Clifford’s stoppages have come via his anvil fists which he continues to polish up whilst training with the Lally Brothers at Arizona Combat Sports.

Salaverry excuses himself to drop off his kids and lets Russell tour me around before later returning. The gym is separated into two areas: striking and grappling, color coordinated by green and red, respectively. Russell first shows me around the Green Room, the gym’s main training area that is sure enough, tiled and floored with green mats. Hanging alongside the windows are a series of slender Muay Thai heavybags that when followed lead to a back room with a raised boxing ring and free weight area. All pads, gloves, and protective gear are neatly stacked facing the same direction, a reflection of the gym’s meticulous attention to detail. Through the parking garage is a new addition: the infamous Red Room that went up only a few months ago. The first thing you notice walking in is the humidity and the musk, something along the lines of unbaked pizza dough. Like the Green Room, it is also tiled with mats color-coordinated with its name, and I walk in on a group of sweat-drenched jiu jitsu fighters wrapping up a session of rolling. Russell makes a comment about the odor and one of the students looks up to me and says with a smile, “It’s the smell of victory.

Chael Sonnen will meet Renato "Babalu" Sobral on May 9 at Metamoris VI, according to Sonnen. Metamoris founder Ralek Gracie confirmed the news, as well. Gracie said the event would take place in Los Angeles, but he would not confirm the location just yet. Gracie added that Sonnen vs. Sobral will not serve as the main event, which will be announced in the coming days.

Boxing, "the poor man’s sport," has long given kids from America’s roughest neighborhoods an opportunity to escape violence with violence. But with success in the ring comes new fights for which there is no training: champions are made and broken in the blink of an eye, and young men thrust into the spotlight are often ill-equipped for the fame and fortune that accompany a title belt. Built around the stories of heavyweight legends Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins, CHAMPS balances these uncensored recollections with gorgeous reenactments, classic fight footage, and candid interviews with Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington, Ron Howard, Spike Lee, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent. More than just a sports documentary, CHAMPS examines what it means to pursue the American Dream through boxing, painting a picture of a controversial and unregulated sport in a moment of crisis.
