Jake Shields has yet to enter the UFC octagon for the first time, but less than two weeks from his debut, UFC president Dana White has added an extra incentive for him to win.

According to White, Shields may well be the No. 1 contender in waiting.

“If Jake Shields wins against Martin Kampmann, it’ll probably be him next,” White said when asked about the next man in line to compete for the welterweight title after the scheduled Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck title fight in December.

Josh Koscheck, Georges St-Pierre Get UFC 124 Hype Officially Underway

Since he appeared on the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” more than five years ago, it’s been pretty clear that Josh Koscheck isn’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers.

He’s been as outspoken as ever leading up to his Dec. 11 UFC welterweight title fight against champion Georges St-Pierre – and the evidence can be seen each Wednesday on the current Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter” with Koscheck and St-Pierre as opposing coaches.

On Tuesday, at a press conference officially announcing UFC 124 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Koscheck was asked if he was racist for saying on TUF he doesn’t want to lose to anyone – especially St-Pierre, “a French guy.” But he said having few filters when it comes to expressing himself goes back a long way.

Five days before his UFC 120 showdown with Dan Hardy, welterweight contender Carlos Condit swung through New York yesterday for a media tour, which ended with an evening workout session at The Wat. After Kru Phil Nurse put him through a few grueling rounds of pad work, Carlos was kind enough to give us a brief interview, in which he discussed his matchup with the Outlaw this weekend, his dramatic win over Rory MacDonald at UFC 115, and why he’s become a loyal follower of Greg Jackson. Some highlights…

TUF 12.4 Recap: Nerds That Talk Like Robots

Team GSP is basking in Michael Johnson’s victory, and Mike Tyson is in a reflective mood. Iron Mike says the fight game is about who’s smarter. "Confidence breeds success, and success breeds confidence…confidence applied properly surpasses genius." Also, how you conduct yourself in the cage reflects on how you conduct yourself in life. Between him, Greg Jackson, and John Danaher, the team is stacked with philosophers.

After two losses, Team Koscheck is fired up to get revenge on Team GSP. "The harder you work now, the later you get rewarded," Josh Koscheck says, probably meaning to say "the more you get rewarded later." He also pronounces "especially" as "ekspecially" at one point. We’ll see if these Titoisms become a trend. 

During the Johnson/Wilkinson fight, Alex "Bruce Leroy" Caceres was a little too supportive in the bleachers, screaming "Beat the shit out of him! Fuck him up!" to MJ. Some of the guys don’t like how Caceres seemed to wish harm upon one of his housemates. I mean, they’re all in this together, right? They all came to the house to make friends? Anyway, the guys have a little shit-talking session about it. "That’s disrespectful, bro," says Sevak "The Armenian Stereotype" Magakian. "He’s a stupid, ignorant kid," Jeff Lentz says, bitterly.
