Today on “MMA Nation” we’ve got a ton of stuff to get to with our hugely-stacked line-up. We’ll first talk to MMA manager Malki Kawa about the recent Jon Jones-Rashad Evans-MMA media dust up that happened this past week.

Then we'll get to UFC 130 and one of the best fights on the card as we catch up with Thiago Alves before his fight with Rick Story. We'll talk about being bumped up from Spike TV to the main card, preparing for Story and much more.

We’ve also got 2008 Beijing Olympic Games gold medalist Henry Cejudo. We’ll talk Cejudo about his wrestling future, his thoughts on MMA and whether he’ll ever test the waters in professional fighting.

Last, but certainly not least, we’ll talk to Sports Illustrated’s/MMA Junkie’s Steven Marrocco about the Chael Sonnen-California State Athletic Commission case. Steven was in attendance at Sonnen’s special hearing this week, so we’ll get a breakdown of what happened, what it means and what we can expect to happen in Sonnen’s future.
