Latest AaronRiley Stories

On this week's edition of The MMA Hour, we were first joined by the UFC's UK division president Marshall Zelaznik to talk about the organization's return to England for UFC 105 this Saturday night. Zelaznik discussed the UFC's expansion overseas, how many events will take place in Europe in 2010, and having Randy Couture fight in England for the first time.

Later in the show we were joined by the winner of ninth season of The Ultimate Fighter, Ross Pearson, who faces Aaron Riley at UFC 105. Pearson talked about leaving his job as a bricklayer to become a full-time MMA fighter and fighting inside the Octagon in front of his fellow countrymen for the first time. MDS and I also looked back to the Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers and looked ahead to Saturday night's event. Watch/listen to the show below.

PHILADELPHIA -- This is the UFC 101 undercard live blog for all six matches on the undercard. FanHouse is live in Philly and will provide round-by-round details of every match.

The live card begins below.

Aaron Riley will be fighting Shane Nelson for the second time at this Saturday's UFC 101, but don't tell Riley it's a rematch.

The experienced lightweight out of Seattle lost in 44 seconds at UFC 96 in March against Nelson when the referee intervened in a stoppage universally agreed upon to be premature.

In this exclusive interview with FanHouse, Riley, who trains with the acclaimed Greg Jackson camp in Albuquerque, N.M., reflects on the loss as he enters this weekend's fight eager to put behind the setback.

UFC 96 week comes to an end with the final installment of UFC President Dana White's video blog, and he has harsh words for referee Rick Fike, who brought an early end to the undercard bout between Shane Nelson and Aaron Riley.
