Jon Jones as a ring model, for some reason (VIDEO)

Michelle Waterson is fighting Lacey Schuckman at the upcoming Invicta FC card, and wanted to win the "Invicta's Got Talent" contest. As directed by the all-female promotion, "The Karate Hottie" made a video promoting her fight, complete with her ace in the hole: UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones in a slinky swimsuit.

Jones appears at 1:06, but it's worth watching the whole thing for cameos from coach Greg Jackson and a few other UFC fighters.

Though the UFC banned tiny shorts like those for fights, we'll see if Jones breaks them out for the weigh-ins of UFC 152 on Friday. If you liked Waterson's video, vote for it here.

UFC on FUEL TV 5's Paul Sass wants to be the first to submit Matt Wiman

NOTTINGHAM, England - Opponents know what to expect when they meet UFC lightweight Paul Sass. They know their necks and limbs will be threatened at all times, and one lapse could cost them a tap.

The undefeated Sass hopes to earn his fourth consecutive submission win in the octagon at UFC on FUEL TV 5. But for the second time in his career, there's no secret what lies ahead for him inside the cage.

He's seen opponent Matt Wiman in action, he told MMAjunkie.com.

UFC 152 fights are official after weigh-ins

UFC 152 is ready to go after weigh-ins on Friday afternoon in Toronto. Both title fights are official. UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones came in under weight, as did his challenger, former middleweight contender Vitor Belfort. Joseph Benavidez also came in underweight, and Demetrious Johnson, who will fight Benavidez for the inaugural UFC flyweight belt, weighed in at exactly 125 lbs.

The weigh-ins were not without excitement. Jones was booed by the Toronto crowd as he was interviewed by UFC commentator Joe Rogan. Charles Oliveira did not make weight on his first try. Michael Bisping and Brian Stann's face-off forced UFC president Dana White to step in before their fight started a day early.

Why Rob Gronkowski's production is down

Coming into the season, you knew it would be tough for New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski to duplicate his record-setting 2011 season. But few expected the type of sharp decline "Gronk" has had in the first three games. Gronkowski's season averages are down across the board so far in 2012. His receptions are down nearly a catch per game and he's gaining about 30 fewer yards each week. "It’s a team game," Gronkowski told reporters this week.
