LOS ANGELES -- Spencer Fisher has yet to be seriously viewed as a contender in the UFC's lightweight division, but the veteran says he is ready to face the best 155-pound fighter in the world, BJ Penn. First things first, though, Fisher must get by Joe Stevenson at UFC 104 on Saturday night. And while a win over Stevenson will probably not put him in the title mix yet, it would mark his fourth victory in a row over quality opponents.

FanHouse spoke to Fisher about why he thinks he is ready to fight Penn and why he already knows what Stevenson will try to do to him on Saturday. Check out the video interview below.

LOS ANGELES -- Prior to Joe Stevenson's June victory over Nate Diaz, there had been talk that another loss would mark the end of his UFC career. Thankfully for him, though, Stevenson, who had previously lost three of his last four fights, won the bout in impressive fashion, and all of sudden, regained his status as a major player in the UFC lightweight division.

But "Joe Daddy" told FanHouse on Wednesday that he would be fine walking away from his MMA career right now if he had to. The father of four, who faces Spencer Fisher at UFC 104 on Saturday, also said that training with Greg Jackson in Albuquerque, N.M., has rejuvenated his career. Check out the video interview below.

When Joe Stevenson steps foot inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles on fight night at UFC 104, it will be somewhat of a longtime aspiration fulfilled.

"I was born in Torrance at UCLA Medical Center and I always grew up living in Lennox, like wanting to go to The Forum to watch all the big boxing fights and stuff and always thought I was going to get a chance to fight at The Forum," Stevenson said. "Now I see today I'm at the modern Forum, which is the Staples Center, and I'm so excited actually to be able to fight there, but still in the back of my head I wished that it was The Forum because as a kid I wanted to fight there."

In this exclusive interview with FanHouse, Stevenson talks about his training at Greg Jackson's gym for his fight against Spencer Fisher, voices his displeasure at being ranked lower than Fisher and tells us how he intends on changing that.

Although nothing official has been announced, a couple of very good fights appear to be on deck for UFC 96 in Columbus.

First, Chuck Liddell, the former light heavyweight champ who is still one of America's most popular MMA fighters, said in a radio interview that he hopes to have a rematch with Keith Jardine in March. That would, presumably, come at UFC 96, which is tentatively scheduled for March 7 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus.
