Seriously you guys, how many patently bad ideas can the mixed martial arts industry possibly support before it collapses inward on itself like a dying star? Answer: At least one more.

Props to the boys at MiddleEasy.com for pulling our coat to this thing, which frankly sounds like the worst proposal since Nick Cannon married Mariah Carey. It seems a couple of impresarios previously responsible for a video series called “Felony Fights” – which reportedly pits recently released prisoners against each other in what we can only imagine are incredibly gripping no rules fights – are bringing their singular promotional talents to MMA with an event called “Cage vs. Cons,”  … and yeah, it’s exactly what you think it is: Professional MMA fighters battling ex-cons inside the cage.

No, we’re not making this up.

UFC president Dana White says fast-rising light-heavyweight contender Jon Jones is undoubtedly one of the sport's top prospects.

However, he also says that the UFC on Versus 2 headliner has some big tests to pass before he's considered one of the sport's best.

In our official event preview, MMAjunkie.com's Steven Marrocco breaks down the latest test and why veteran opponent Vladimir Matyushenko thinks his years of experience could be the deciding factor in the Vesus-televised fight.

We’re not sure if this meets the legal burden for proving premeditation, but boxing champion James Toney says he’s liable to kill (yes, literally kill) Randy Couture next month at UFC 118 if he hits him while wearing MMA gloves. Oh, and as for Couture’s takedown prowess? Lights Out’s not even sweating it.

“Everybody asks ‘How are you going to defend the takedown?’ I’m not worried about that. How are you going to defend these punches?” Toney told MMA Weekly in an interview published on Saturday. “I’m going from 10-ounce gloves to four-ounce gloves. If I hit someone with four-ounce gloves, oh my goodness, me and my crew might go to jail for homicide.”

It's been nearly 20 months since UFC middleweight Mike Massenzio stepped into the octagon.

After injuries and illness kept him away for so long, Massenzio surely feels the pressure going into his fight with former WEC champion Brian Stann on Sunday at UFC on Versus 2, right?

"I try not to think of it like that," Massenzio recently told MMAjunkie.com. "I love to fight, and I love to be in the UFC."

(Go ahead, write untruths about this man. See what happens ...)

Almost by definition, the media conference calls that fight companies stage before major events are pretty tedious affairs. On rare occasions, the stars align and they can turn into total shitshows where something interesting actually happens, but usually you just end up sitting on the phone for 45 minutes while different writers ask the same questions over and over and the athletes repeatedly mumble the same prepared responses.

Unfortunately, last week’s reporter cattle call for Sunday’s UFC Live on Versus event was no different. In fact, it was perhaps even more monotonous after first being interrupted by a fire alarm at the conference center (seriously) and then when Jon Jones and Vladimir Matyushenko spent the whole time trying to out nice-guy each other. The only halfway illuminating or unexpected exchange occurred nearly 35 minutes in, when a reporter from Fox Twin Cities-Minneapolis asked Jones about reports a couple months back that he had balked at the chance to fight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 114.

The main card for September's WEC 51 event now appears complete.

World Extreme Cagefighting officials recently moved a featherweight bout between "The Korean Zombie," Chan Sung Jung, and opponent George Roop from the preliminary card to the night's Versus-televised main card.

The five-fight televised lineup is now set for the card, which takes place Sept. 30 at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colo.

The flow of massive wrestlers into mixed martial arts continues, and former Oklahoma State Cowboy Jared Rosholt is the next heavyweight ready to make the plunge.

Team Takedown boss Ted Ehrhardt revealed on Thursday to MMAjunkie.com Radio that Rosholt has joined brother Jake, WEC lightweight contender Shane Roller, and UFC welterweight Johny Hendricks on the Team Takedown roster.

"We have signed a new fighter - Jake's brother, Jared Rosholt," Ehrhardt said. "He's a three-time All-American, and he finished second in nationals this year."

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Before he was Bones Jones, NBT (Next Big Thing), Jon Jones was a 21-year old armed with talent, desire, and the dreams of every young fighter in mixed martial arts - to be in the UFC. And despite a spotless 6-0 record, when he set foot inside the Octagon for the first time to face Andre Gusmao at UFC 87 in August of 2008, it was more than just another fight.

As a reminder, submissions for the upcoming edition of "The Sunday Junkie" are due Sunday at 10 a.m. ET.

All topics are open for discussion. The person who sends in the submission we deem the best - based on timeliness of subject, clarity and overall persuasiveness - will be invited onto MMAjunkie.com Radio to discuss the topic.

Each winner will also receive a free year's subscription to Fighters Only, the world's leading MMA and lifestyle magazine!

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Here's a for instance - let's say you show up to work as scheduled, the boss pulls you to the side and says you don't have to work today, but here's your check. Go enjoy yourself in the greatest city in the world, which is only 30 minutes away, come back, and then watch some fights on Saturday night. Pretty cool, eh?

While Zuffa, LLC - the parent-company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Extreme Cagefighting - has traditionally been voracious in terms of protecting its product, Thursday night's revelation that the company was suing the Bellator Fighting Championships, as well as influential agent Ken Pavia, came as quite a surprise.

Bellator officials were just as taken aback, according to the company's newly hired attorney, Patrick English.

"I was asked to represent Bellator yesterday when they heard there had been a lawsuit filed," English told MMAjunkie.com. "Originally, they had no idea what it was about. It was actually Kevin Iole who was kind enough to tell me what it was about."

Here comes the Hammer.

Stanley Burrell, also known as MC Hammer, announced today that he's getting into the MMA business with Alchemist Management, a new management and "brand-building" firm based out of Los Angeles.

"I've been a fan of combat sports for years," MC Hammer stated today in a press release. "MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world and this is a great opportunity for us to launch a full-service management company."

If you're unsure whether or not Sunday Night's UFC Live on Versus: Jones vs. Matyushenko is worth tuning into,  here's some food for thought:

A) It's free. Even if the card turns into a boring cuddlefest (which is highly unlikely considering the amount of firepower on the card) what else do you have to do on a Sunday night? If you answered "Watch Desperate Housewives," you may as well hand in your CP membership now and just walk away slowly and forget we ever had this imaginary online conversation. Seriously, that's probably your best solution.

B) A few contenders could secure their places in line for a title shot in the near future. Jon Jones is obviously on the trajectory to a shot as early as next year and UFC president Dana White revealed on ESPN's Inside MMA that it's about time Yushin Okami had his day in the sun, whether it be a rematch with Anderson Silva or with former opponent-turned training partner Chael Sonnen.

C) The main card is more stacked than it might appear to the casual fan. You have a former IFL champ in Matyushenko, a former PRIDE champ in Gomi, a pair of knockout artists in Howard and Ellenberger and a handful of potential title contenders. What more can the UFC do to entertain you?

If you're still on the fence, check out these videos that feature the fighters on the main card of Sunday's show and you'll likely change your mind.

With Brazilian slugger Thiago Silva forced to bow out of UFC 117 due to injury, the UFC turned to promotion newcomer Todd Brown to fill the gap.

Today, UFC officials made the switch official.

As MMAjunkie.com reported earlier this week, Brown now faces Tim Boetsch on the UFC 117 preliminary card.

(More pre-fight hype from the main eventers. Matyushenko doesn't mind being the underdog, and vows to give Jones hell every second of the fight. Bones wants to be something that Vlad's never seen before. Props: YouTube.com/UFC)

If you don't have Versus, I feel bad for you son. The UFC returns to the cable sports network this Sunday with UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko, and we'll be providing round-by-round updates starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. So swing by and let us know you care. After the jump: Yushin Okami says he wants to prove he's close to a title shot by beating Mark Munoz.

It's only been four months since Mark Munoz's gym officially opened, but much like his life, everything has moved so fast.

The Lake Forest, Calif.-based Reign Training Center has gone from a room with a mat to a full-fledged hotbed of talent with Munoz (8-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) as a beacon for fighters in need of good wrestling.

He's now a successful fighter in the UFC's middleweight division after uprooting his family to Southern California in September 2008 with no idea of where he'd end up.
