Miguel Torres Tells It Like It Is On Twitter

Fighters connecting with their fans via Twitter is one of the newest and most popular ways to stay in touch with the MMA community, and former WEC champion Miguel Torres admits that he was hesitant at first, but now loves it like everyone else.

"I never wanted to be on Twitter and then Ecko, one of my main sponsors, they were like dude you've got to get on Twitter. They're like bro if you just tweet what you're talking about or tweet what you normally would say you'd have so many followers," Torres told MMAWeekly Radio recently.

"At first it was like a joke, and let's see what happens and I just got carried away with it."

A typical "tweet" from Torres could range from training to just his general thoughts on life. For UFC 110, Torres was in rare form Twittering gems like, "Bisping remembered the "Whoomp" but forgot the "there it is." That guillotine was as tight as Bispings a-- hole." and "When Chuck Norris goes to sleep, he wears Wanderlei Silva pajamas."

Always having fun, Torres says that the world is not getting a taste of what it's like to listen to whatever pops in his head.

"I tell you what my brain's pretty crazy and they got me on Twitter and let me put my thoughts on the screen so it's kind of nuts," Torres said.

The WEC's bantamweight star will also be handling guest Twitter duties for the UFC's Twitter page for UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi.

WEC Champ Ben Henderson A Sell Out?

The biblical figure Samson generated his strength by his long, flowing locks of hair, but World Extreme Cagefighting lightweight titleholder Ben Henderson isn't bound by such a curse.

Henderson tells MMAInisder Blog that he'd cut his hair for the right price.

"I like the hair. There isn't a problem with it," Henderson told MMAInsider Blog. "It's cool, but I'm not so attached to it that if the WEC offered me a bunch of money I would definitely sell out. It's just hair."

The hair isn't what makes Ben Henderons "smooth."

"If it came down to money or whatever, I would definitely sell out," said the WEC lightweight champion.

Frank Mir Wants Brock Lesnar To Get Well

Frank Mir does not want to see Brock Lesnar leave the cage.

The former heavyweight champion said he hopes the ailing champion gets well soon.

Why? He's obsessed with a rematch.

"That's pretty much been my driving focus to go to the gym every day, to change myself and grow as a fighter," Mir said at a Q and A session for the WEC on Tuesday.

Lesnar was hospitalized last week and diagnosed with a bacterial infection of his intestines -- a local news affiliate in Minnesota called it a severe case of diverticulitis, a digestive disease in the large intestine -- prompting the indefinite delay of a title bout with Shane Carwin.

UFC president Dana White on Monday told TMZ that Lesnar might never fight again but appeared to back off those comments in subsequent interviews, saying the champion's fate depended on the severity of the condition.

If Lesnar was out for good, Mir said it didn't matter that his prospects in the division improved.

"To know that there's a possibility that (a rematch) might never happen, that's been taking me a couple of days to try and wrap my mind around," he said.

"It's going to give me a hard time."

Train And Live With Cowboy Cerrone & Leonard Garcia

The road to being a well trained and successful mixed martial artist can be very long and arduous, but thanks to two WEC superstars, the path just got a little shorter, and probably a lot less expensive as well. Top WEC lightweight contender, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, and featherweight, Leonard "Bad Boy" Garcia, have opened up their home in New Mexico to young, up and coming fighters to stay with them and train with the legendary Jackson's team in Albuquerque.

The offer was extended by both Cerrone and Garcia, who just recently invested in a new house in New Mexico, to help young fighters work and train with a top team, for a minimal cost considering the world-class team they'll be working with.

"We did this to be able to offer our house as a fighters house to pros and amateurs looking to take their fight games to the next level," Cerrone said via his Facebook page on Monday. "We already worked out a deal with Greg to have you live with us at our house, and also train at Jackson's. We will only be offering this to a few people each month. The total cost for the month, which includes a month of training at Jacksons, and a month of living at our house is $ 500.00."

Many top fighters have already flocked to Jackson's school to work under his expert tutelage, and now many young pros and amateurs will have the same system to excel under as champions such as Georges St. Pierre and Rashad Evans have been doing over the last few years.

"We designed this with the idea of having up and coming fighters live and train with us to get a feel for what it takes to train and compete at one of the top camps in the world," Cerrone commented.

This unprecedented offer comes on the heels of the news that Cerrone will be training for a WEC title fight on Sept 2 against Ben Henderson, while Leonard Garcia prepares for an August match-up against Jameel Massouh.

For more information on taking part in this new opportunity please contact Donald Cerrone's manager, Bryan Hamper, at: bryanhamper@gmail.com
