Who had a good week, and who didn't? Let's get right to the Cagewriter Hot or Not List.
Hot -- Quinton "Rampage" Jackson: He left the UFC on a three-fight losing streak, but found his way to a deal with Bellator and TNA Wrestling. He's getting to fight, do some pro wrestling and will have a reality show follow him.
Not-ish -- Mauricio "Shogun" Rua: You be the judge on if Rua's week was good or bad. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira pulled out of their UFC 161 fight because of injury. Rua didn't get a replacement, but did get rescheduled for UFC on Fox Sports 1 1 in a bout with Chael Sonnen.
Hot -- Joe Silva: The UFC's matchmaker has been a busy, busy man. In addition to the Sonnen-Rua bout, Silva put together Benson Henderson's fight with T.J. Grant, Sara McMann taking on Sarah Kaufman, and many, many more August bouts.
Not quite hot yet -- John Maguire: He has promised a cutoff-wearing, flashdancing walkout at UFC 161 if he gets to 10,000 followers on Twitter. Right now, he's at 9,893. Follow him now for laughs next weekend.
Still taking temperature -- Fabricio Werdum: He won over Roy Nelson and Mike Russow in his first fights back with the UFC after a stint in Strikeforce. He'll get a chance to extend that winning streak on Saturday, as he fights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in Brazil at UFC on Fuel 10.
