Jon Jones Not Looking For Hamill Rematch

UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones is not looking for revenge.

Since debuting in the UFC, Jones has done anything but slow down the momentum that he's been riding since a signature win over one of the original "Ultimate Fighter Season One" cast member Stephan Bonnar.

Jones was undefeated until a bout opposite fellow wrestler Matt Hamill came to pass, ending in controversial fashion. Jon used illegal 12-to-6 elbow strikes, resulting in a disqualification and the first loss of his young professional career.

You'd think Jones would want to right a wrong, get a piece of his once undefeated career back, but he's perfectly content with what has passed. It's all just another experience for the young 22-year-old.

"I definitely wouldn't want to have a rematch with Matt Hamill," said the newly minted Greg Jackson fighter.

"I actually hung out with him a few weeks ago -- well, several weeks ago. We were both down in Miami, taking care of some things for Dana (White). He's just a great guy. He has a great personality, great heart.

"(The fight) was a great learning experience for me. It was the first fight that I was really relaxed, I was thinking the whole time, and it was the first time I was actually having fun instead of being nervous out there. It was just a great experience. Win or lose, it was a wonderful thing and I wouldn't change what happened for the world."

Dan Hardy Talks About Marcus Davis and Psychological Warfare

The fight between Dan Hardy and Marcus Davis seemed to reach a fever pitch when the two squared off at UFC 99 last year, but the war of words didn't end there.

Prior to the fight, Hardy did everything in his power to rile up the Irishman, and he accomplished his goal. A Photoshop contest amongst fans, and some well placed trash talk, brought Davis to a frenzy before their fight ever happened.

Right after the fight, Hardy admitted that it was all part of a strategy to get into Davis' head and earn a shot at the Maine based fighter. Still even though the fight seemed over, Davis fired back just weeks ago via his Twitter account stating, "I hope Dan Hardy dies of AIDS."

The comment was eventually deleted, but Hardy says that Davis obviously didn't know when enough was enough.

"Some people can't see it for what it is. Obviously with Marcus Davis making a comment like that it obviously proves he can't deal with the situation, and he doesn't get it," Hardy commented recently when appearing on MMAWeekly Radio.

"Apparently the Photoshops that I helped create were completely unacceptable, yet he makes a comment like that (and) it's okay? I don't understand where his logic lies."

Hardy admits that psychological warfare goes a long way, and he's become a master of that particular trade.

"Any time you can use any psychological warfare, it's different for every fighter," Hardy said. "The Marcus Davis fight was a blatant, outright, I'm going to punk him, I'm going to make him look stupid, and you're going to get crazy and lose your mind.

"Mike Swick was a little bit more fun, a little bit more jokey, but when it got to the end of the build up of the fight, he'd been expecting me to say all kinds of stuff that he didn't know really how to deal with it. He didn't know how to prepare himself for what was to come."

Hardy's teammate, Paul Daley, has started a similar campaign for his upcoming UFC 113 fight against Josh Koscheck. Daley encouraged fans to Photoshop a new haircut for Koscheck ahead of their fight, and when Hardy was asked if he would possibly put the best photo on his walkout t-shirt for UFC 113?

"Don’t give him any ideas, you know he will," Hardy responded.

Dan Hardy Debuts His Version Of "England Belongs To Me" At UFC 111

A long time fan of metal, punk and hardcore, UFC 111 main eventer Dan Hardy will test out his vocal chops when he debuts a version of the Cock Sparrer classic, "England Belongs To Me" with "The Outlaw" providing vocals for the track.

Hardy talked about his choice of songs when appearing on MMAWeekly Radio earlier this week.

"I'm using some traditional British punk again. I'll be using the same song, "England Belongs To Me" by Cock Sparrer, but this is a re-recorded version with me putting the vocals on it, so an interesting one," Hardy said about his UFC 111 entrance song. "It's got a bit more balls than the last one as well."

Growing up as a metal fan in England, Hardy says he started out with the classics and still follows his love of music to this day.

"My favorite band when I was younger was Megadeth," said Hardy. "I just went from them to Pantera, and Slayer, and then I just started getting into hardcore, Earth Crisis and Madball, and I also listen to a lot of the British punk and ska, like Madness and The Clash and bands like that."

The new track with Hardy's vocals will debut at UFC 111 in New Jersey. Check out the original below.

Faber And Bonnar Pay Tribute To Sakuraba

Legendary Japanese fighter, Kazushi Sakuraba, is a very familiar name to most hardcore fans, but there are many new fans that may have never seen the former Pride star grapple his way to the top of the sport several years ago, and many fighters today still talk about the "Gracie Hunter" and his fights.

Two of the fighters who proudly claim Sakuraba as their favorite are WEC featherweight, Urijah Faber, and UFC fighter, Stephan Bonnar, who both mentioned the Japanese fighter when speaking to fans at a recent Q&A session.

"I would say past or present, favorite fighter for me is Sakuraba," Faber said when asked who his favorite fighter was. "If you watch the guy, first off he's a wrestler, a top level wrestler, but he really has a great attitude out there. He's always out in front, really, really creative, and he's been in one of the most inspiring fights that I've ever seen."

The fight that Faber referenced was Sakuraba's last fight against Zelg Galesic, in which he pulled off a kneebar after suffering damage throughout the fight. Faber also mentioned Sakuraba's historic 2000 no-time limit win over Royce Gracie as a favorite performance.

Stephan Bonnar went one step further when paying tribute to the former Pride star.

"I love that guy, I even named my cat after him," said Bonnar.

The ageless Sakuraba continues to come up in conversations when fighters mention who they admire most, and for anyone that isn't sure about how good he really is, go back and watch his 2000 fight against Renzo Gracie, but don't expect to hold down your lunch when you see the finish.

Miguel Torres' Cut Gets 20 Stitches

The elbow that landed from Joseph Benavidez on Miguel Torres left the former bantamweight champion wearing a crimson mask for the remainder of their fight on Saturday night.

On Sunday, Torres posted a picture of the cut on his Twitter page (@MiguelTorresMMA) and said in a separate post that it required 20 stitches to close up.

The Indiana based fighter also said that he was breathing in blood during the fight, and obviously struggle to see much of anything.

Guess the old saying is true. A picture is worth a thousand words.
