LAS VEGAS – The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s own media notes on
Brazilian bantamweight Renan Barao sum it up nicely:
“Has best record, on paper, in all of MMA.”

On Saturday night, Barao earned his 28th-straight win by downing onetime
title-challenger Scott Jorgensen via unanimous decision.

The 24-year-old is now 5-0 under the Zuffa banner, and while UFC
president Dana White isn’t ready to grant him a title shot just yet, he
admits the Nova Uniao product is quickly becoming one of Brazil’s most
popular fighters.

Former Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Dan Henderson has put himself in limbo, according to UFC president Dana White.

“Dan Henderson’s in a position right now where it looks like he wants to wait for Jon Jones,” White said today.

Earlier this month, White said Henderson turned down a fight with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC on FUEL 2.

LAS VEGAS – UFC president Dana White doesn’t anticipate having to find a new heavyweight contender a week after the current one was charged with misdemeanor battery.

White said today that it’s his understanding that the charge arose when Alistair Overeem was confronted outside the restroom of a popular Las Vegas club.

“I don’t think he’s in that much trouble,” White said. “This isn’t a situation where he beat somebody up; I don’t think that’s the case.”

LAS VEGAS – It took Fabricio Werdum more than three years to make it back into the UFC.

He believes God smiled on him. If nothing else, the gods of corporate acquisition were.

“If I wasn’t in the UFC, I wasn’t going to be able to fight Fedor
(Emelianenko),” Werdum said today. “I think that was the one thing I had
to do in my career. But now I’m here, and I’m back.”

CHICAGO – A win is a win is a win.

For fast-rising – but still relatively unknown – Chris Weidman, you don’t pass up an opportunity to fight on a FOX main card against a top-10 middleweight.

Not even if you get just 11 days’ notice and still have 32 pounds to shed in order for it to be official.

CHICAGO – For a man who’s famously (or perhaps, infamously) walked the walk after talking the talk, Chael Sonnen nearly was tripped up by Michael Bisping.

In the co-headliner of Saturday’s UFC on FOX 2 event, Sonnen edged the fellow middleweight contender to secure an April title fight and rematch with elusive foe Anderson Silva.

After the fight, Sonnen was all compliments when it came to Bisping. Silva, on the other hand, didn’t get off so easy.

UFC president Dana White’s war on Internet piracy may have just taken an unexpected (and somewhat bizarre) turn.

Twenty-four hours after hackers posted White’s alleged personal info -
including his apparent phone number, social security number and current
and past addresses – a Las Vegas woman has come forward and claims at least part of that information is completely incorrect.

“When I look, it’s my phone number and my address,” Las Vegas’ Julie
Breeler told FOX 5 Vegas in a Friday night report. “There’s no Dana
White here, folks.”

He hated the report, knew he would hate it, and told the world he hated it as soon as ESPN hit “publish.”

But UFC president Dana White said he’s communicating again with the
sports news giant since a report on fighter pay got everyone talking.

White didn’t characterize the nature of the talks but said, “we’re working on this relationship.”

CHICAGO – Here’s a statistic for you, courtesy of Michael Bisping: Seven out of
his eight most recent opponents went to the hospital after fighting him.

“That’s a 100 percent (true) statistic – ask the UFC,” Bisping said Wednesday. “Fingers crossed, on Saturday night, it’s
going to be the exact same thing.”

The British middleweight admits that won’t be easy. He’s likely to spend
15 minutes defending takedowns and getting off his back when he meets
Chael Sonnen on Saturday at UFC on FOX 2.

CHICAGO – Regardless of what Chael Sonnen says, should he defeat Michael Bisping at Saturday’s UFC on FOX 2 event, Anderson Silva is next.

UFC president Dana White clarified the organization’s plans at today’s UFC on FOX 2 pre-event presser in Chicago.

“Chael is nuts,” White told MMAjunkie.com. “He says
all kinds of crazy things. … He will fight Anderson Silva if he wins.”
