"Frankie deserves a rematch after a decision," Ben Henderson said to Jon Anik on Fuel TV's "UFC Ultimate Insider". Ben talked about Anthony Pettis getting his title shot (eventually) and doing a rematch with him at some point. Now that Ben has the belt, he doesn't want to give it up. He's set his goal for holding onto the belt for a long time. He intends to beat UFC champion Anderson Silva's record for title defenses.
Benson Henderson, UFC Champion
Host Jon Anik asked Ben Henderson if he thought he had done enough to win his fight against Frankie Edgar. "I thought that I had done enough, I had earned it…I wasn't as busy as I wanted to be. I thought—in my head—that I was busier with my boxing and whatnot— but as I re-watched the fight, I wasn't nearly as busy as I thought I was. There were a lot of openings that Frankie left that I did not take advantage of. Going into a rematch, when I see openings, I'm going to go for it." video

UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, talked about why he loves Brazil, the impact the sport of MMA has had on the country and looking forward to UFC 147 in this Rogan Riffs Brazil "Ultimate Insider" video
If you haven't seen the full episode of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil episode 1, take the time to check it out. The fights were intense. This is going to be a very interesting season. Watching this group of Brazilian men reminded me of the very first season of The Ultimate Fighter. There's a newness and excitement about it.
Speaking of twin shows…
Legendary UFC Cutman "Stitch" Has A Few Stories To Tell: "UFC Tonight"
Just after hitting publish on my Stitch Duran post, I noticed that Fuel TV had uploaded the video of Jacob "Stitch" Duran reliving memories with UFC fighter Kenny Florian about his experience working as a cutman in the octagon. video
Kenny: "The closer I get to a fight, the more comfortable I feel, I get to the arena, I'm still, obviously, very nervous. But once I get my hands wrapped—especially by you, Stitch, I'm good to go. I'm focused. I just feel at ease. But up until that point that I got my hands wrapped, I'm kinda nervous out there. What's going on in your mind, when you're about to wrap a fighter's hands?"
Stitch: "I remember the time I wrapped your hands. I asked you if you wanted the knockout wrap or tap out wrap." Stitch said that he saw Kenny's confidence level go up. He gave Kenny a hug. Kenny won his fight that night. That kind of connection is what Stitch loves about working with fighters. He has worked as a cutman with the UFC since 2001.
