DALLAS -- While Floyd Mayweather managed to steal most of the major sports headlines away from UFC 103 on Saturday night, UFC President Dana White was in full belief he put on the better event.

How did he know? Because even though White was in the midst of a 13-fight card, he bought the Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez fight and had it playing on a monitor near him.

"It sucked," he said. "It sucked just like I said it would and knew it would."

Vitor Belfort's KO Win Could Vault Him to Title Match With Anderson Silva

DALLAS – While Rich Franklin will likely never say it, he didn't want a fight in September, let alone one against Vitor Belfort. Franklin would have preferred some time off, but the need for a headliner for UFC 103 pushed him into making the decision to participate.

Franklin may be a company man, but that loyalty – along with Belfort's considerable skills – cost Franklin, as Belfort returned to the UFC with a shocking first-round TKO over the ex-UFC middleweight champion in front of 17,428 at the American Airlines Center.

The Ultimate Fighter 8 winner Efrain Escudero is all healed up and ready for his first stab at making a mark in the UFC lightweight division since securing a six-figure UFC contract last December.

Escudero is a superb submission wrestler who tapped out all three of his opponents on the show until decisioning Phillipe Nover in the finals. At UFC 103 on Sept. 19, he takes American Top Team's Cole Miller, who, like himself is a master of choke holds.

In this exclusive interview with FanHouse, Escudero talks about returning from injury for the Miller fight, Drew Fickett's recent slump and why it's important for him to finish college even with all the dedication required as a professional fighter.

UFC Fight Night 18: Cole Miller Exposes Junie Browning

Junie Browning became a big name in the UFC by playing the role of bad boy on the reality show The Ultimate Fighter. But is Browning a legitimate fighter, or just a guy who got 15 minutes of fame on a reality show?

Based on how Browning looked Wednesday night in his UFC Fight Night 18 bout against Cole Miller, it appears that he's more reality star than fighter.

The much more experienced Miller had no trouble at all beating Browning, looking better than Browning on his feet and then catching him in a guillotine choke on the ground and forcing him to tap out in the first round. Standing over the fallen Browning, Miller asked, "Who's overrated now?" -- an allusion to pre-fight trash talk between the two fighters.

Junie Browning: Cole Miller in for a Surprise at UFC Fight Night

Junie Browning was the most hated man on The Ultimate Fighter last year, a guy who seemed more eager to fight in the reality show's Las Vegas house than in the Octagon.

But now that Browning is off The Ultimate Fighter and in the UFC, is he a changed man? When I interviewed him on Wednesday, he told me that when he's not in the cage, he'd rather run away from a fight that get into one, and that he's been training hard for his upcoming UFC Fight Night appearance against Cole Miller (April 1 on Spike). The full interview is below.
