In terms of the quality of the fighters at this stage in their careers, there won't be a worse fight in the UFC this year than Elvis Sinosic vs. Chris Haseman at UFC 110 this weekend in Sydney, Australia.

Haseman is 40 years old, he's fought only once in the last five years, and he's 1-4 in his last five fights -- and yet he's got a better record than the 39-year-old Sinosic, who's 8-11-2 in his MMA career and hasn't won a fight in more than three years.

Haseman vs. Sinosic is not a UFC-quality fight.

Daniel "Ninja" Roberts is the newest welterweight to enter the UFC and he will step in for the injured Anthony "Rumble" Johnson to fight John Howard at the first UFC on Versus on March 21 in Broomfield, Colo.

In this interview MMA Fighting, Roberts talks about training with Cesar Gracie fighters and his upcoming UFC debut.

He's been a UFC staple since he first joined the company during season two of The Ultimate Fighter. He has wins over two former light-heavyweight champions -- Forrest Griffin and Chuck Liddell -- on his resume. But heading into his UFC 110 matchup with Ryan Bader, it's easy to wonder about Keith Jardine's standing in the UFC.

Jardine (15-6-1) has lost three of his last four bouts and won only twice since the start of 2007, with both of those victories coming via split decisions.

Daniel "Ninja" Roberts has signed to meet John Howard in a welterweight fight at UFC on Versus 1 on March 21 in Broomfield, Colo., according to both Roberts and Howard's manager.

Roberts of Tulsa, Okla. will be making his Octagon debut in place of Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, who withdrew due to a knee injury.

We noted on Sunday that Pajonsuk beat Chan Sung Jung by disqualification over the weekend at the It's Showtime 2010 Prague kickboxing event. Now we've got the video, which shows Jung knocking Pajonsuk cold with a beautiful spinning back fist -- which, unfortunately for Jung, is against the rules of It's Showtime. (Skip ahead to 2:30 if you just want to see the knockout.)

The last time Mirko Cro Cop stepped into the Octagon, he was so dispirited by the way the younger, bigger and stronger Junior dos Santos that he quit in the third round and sounded afterward like a man who was ready to quit fighting for good.

But Cro Cop didn't become one of the greatest heavyweights in mixed martial arts history by quitting when things got tough. And as Cro Cop prepares for his return to MMA against Ben Rothwell at UFC 110, he says the hard work he's put in with new sparring partners and a revamped training program over the last few months is going to pay major dividends.

"To be a successful fighter now you have to go to a camp," Cro Cop said. "For all my career I (was) training at home, sparring with friends who were there to help me as a friend, doing me a favor. There were not A-class fighters. It was a mistake of mine to train like that, with friends, at home. It was a handicap I should not have given myself. In Croatia, we do not have big camps like in other countries, but I was not willing to go away to train."

When last we saw Heath Herring, he was being beaten mercilessly by Brock Lesnar at UFC 87 in August of 2008.

More than a year and a half later, Lesnar is the UFC's biggest star. But Herring hasn't stepped into the Octagon a single time since then, and he said that's because the UFC, particularly UFC President Dana White, doesn't treat fighters like him right.

Badr Hari returned to the kickboxing ring on Saturday night in the Czech Republic, defeating Mourad Bouzidi by second-round knockout at It's Showtime 2010 Prague.
