Alistair Overeem told MMA Fight Corner just moments ago that he has decided that he will sign with Authentic Sports Management and will begin training with Imperial Athletics in Boca Raton, Florida with the group known as the “Blackzillians” for his title fight vs Junior Dos Santos to take place at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV on May 26th. More details to follow from the interview soon!!

The MMA Fight Corner visited the UFC 143 open workouts and spoke with Nick Diaz, Josh Koscheck and Roy Nelson. UFC Welterweight contender Josh Koscheck talked about his place in the rankings, his thoughts on not being able to fight Condit, and what he really thinks about the media's influence on matchups.

Roy Nelson spoke about what makes Fabricio Werdum a great addition to the UFC Heavyweight division.

Nick Diaz talked about taking on Carlos Condit for the UFC Interim Welterweight title and reflected on the BJ Penn fight. He got real on his transition to the UFC & what his family means to him.

Not too many fighters can say that they stepped into a cage and knocked out their opponent in 11 seconds...Jimmy Jones can. In his MMA debut, Jimmy rocked Scott Bromage in King of the Cage knocking him out in 11 seconds. Since then Jimmy’s gone 3-1 fighting in various MMA promotions including BAMMA USA and Superior Cage Combat. Currently a Kickboxing coach at Xtreme Couture, Jimmy is a Las Vegas native. He’s still living the regular lifestyle of any average 25 year old, working as a computer tech, except for the part where’s he’s an MMA fighter and kickboxing instructor who trains in Randy Couture’s gym.

After defeating Efrain Escudero, Volkmann explained to me what happened in his first visit with the men in black, broke down what a "glass-ectomy" is and where he thinks he fits in the lightweight division.
