2 After about a (2) year layoff, it looks like Ricardo Arona will be back in action in September when he takes on UFC veteran Marvin Eastman.
3 The August Strikeforce card just got another title fight as Alistair Overeem will put his heavyweight belt on the line against Fabricio Werdum. This makes (3) title fights on the card as Gina Carano and Christiane Santos will battle for the promotion’s inaugural 145 pound belt and Josh Thomson will meet up with friend Gilbert Melendez.
2 On the above-mentioned Strikeforce card, (2) of the three championship bouts will be rematches. Werdum submitted Overeem in PRIDE in May of 2006 and Thomson whipped Melendez to take the Strikeforce belt back in June of 2008.
34 At (34) minutes after midnight on July 5th, Strikeforce heavyweight, Lavar Johnson was shot while attending a family reunion party. The shooter is still at large. Let’s hope Johnson has a full recovery.
4 It seemed like Jon Jones came out of nowhere because he kind of did. After only (4) months as a professional and six wins, he debuted in the UFC and is now 2-0 with the promotion. At UFC 100 he’ll take on Jake O’Brien who is currently 11-2.
13 To add to the Jon “Bones” Jones lore, it took him only (13) days to win his first three fights.
