TOKYO – Consider former PRIDE superstar Quinton “Rampage” Jackson the tour guide for his fellow American fighters heading to Japan for February’s UFC 144 event.

Jackson, who co-headlines UFC 144, knows the lay of the land, and he could write a travel guide about competing in the fight-crazy country.

But Jackson admits some of his advice doesn’t apply to UFC 144 headliner Frankie Edgar.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – If it’s 24 hours before one of his fights, former WEC
champ Ben Henderson is an octagon girl’s worst
nightmare.

You see, when “Smooth” is ready to weigh-ins for his fights, you can be
sure Burt Watson and Dana White will soon be holding a towel (sending the girls scurrying away), as
Henderson always makes use of the full 156 pounds allowed in his
lightweight contests.

But now, with a UFC title shot against a smaller Frankie Edgar looming
on the horizon, Henderson said he wants to push the envelope even
further.

LOS ANGELES – Maybe fighting on Facebook isn’t the worst thing in the world.

While many MMA fans and pundits have expressed their frustration that a
key UFC on FOX lightweight matchup between Clay Guida and Ben Henderson
has been relegated to the evening’s Facebook-streamed undercard, it
appears UFC brass is still dangling a rather large carrot in front of
the winner.

MMAjunkie.com has learned from multiple sources close to the
promotion that the winner of the Guida vs. Henderson matchup is expected to
receive an immediate title shot against current lightweight champ
Frankie Edgar.

Frankie Edgar doesn’t want to drop to featherweight just yet. He is the UFC lightweight champion.

“I want to defend that,” Edgar today told MMAjunkie.com.
