    TJ Grant's upcoming fight with Matt Wiman will be his 10th with the UFC and his 10th session in prelims purgatory. At least people get to see the prelims now though.

    Apparently CB Dollaway is the only fighter in UFC history to win via Peruvian necktie. Trivia question on UFC.com.

    Jeremy Jackson's ex-wife named their son Nick after Nick Diaz, who beat Jackson right before she gave birth to Nick. Jackson went on as a last minute replacement for Diaz in The Ultimate Fighter 4.

    The UFC or all together? Because Nogueria has as many submissions as Mir has wins.

    UFC 80 Penn vs Stevenson was the first LW title fight ending in a stoppage
    Tito's real name is Jacob
    Igor has the longest winning steak in MMA history with 32 straight wins
    UFC 76: Knockout is the only bout in history without a TKO or KO lol

    I recently found out that Tim Sylvia IS NOT the only fighter to crap himself during his UFC Fight Night 3 fight against Assaurio Silva.

    Apparently Kevin Randleman pooped himself in UFC 35 while fighting Babalu.

    The questionable look on Randleman's face is priceless.

    Tim Sylvia still has the record for most title defenses at Heavyweight in the UFC.
