ROUNDTABLE: Which UFC fight this fall are you most excited for? Pelkey, Hyden, Hobaugh, Perez, Williams and Penick

With a number of packed events and big fights scheduled for this fall, which fight in particular are you most excited for?

MATT PELKEY, MMATORCH COLUMNIST

There's a slew of fantastic fights this fall. Jon Jones' first title defense against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 135�will be must-see viewing. UFC 136 has two title fights at the top (Edgar-Maynard III...finally...hopefully/Aldo-Florian) and is buoyed by a bona fide #1 contender fight (Stann-Sonnen). The co-main event of UFC 137 is a hardcore fan's dream (Penn-Condit). UFC 138 features the first ever UFC five round, non-title main event (ok, so Munoz-Leben doesn't belong in this conversation, but the five round aspect does make it historic) and UFC 139 will be the biggest and best heavyweight fight in UFC history (Velasquez defending the strap for the first time against JDS). But there's really only one answer for me. It can only be Nick Diaz challenging Georges St. Pierre for welterweight supremacy at UFC 137. Diaz has been my favorite fighter since his shocking KO of heavily favored and heavily hyped Robbie Lawler at UFC 47 in a fight that remains one of my five favorites of all time. I realized I'm setting myself up for disappointment in a fight that will likely be the usual 25 minutes of St. Pierre wrestling domination. But I have three more months to enjoy playing it out in my head, figuring out how my favorite fighter can pull off the impossible.

FRANK HYDEN, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR

I think I'll have to go with Jose Aldo defending his UFC Featherweight Title against Kenny Florian at UFC 136. I've been a big fan of Florian's for years, and I'm hoping that he comes up large in this fight. I think KenFlo can, and I hope he does. It should be a great fight.

ERIC HOBAUGH, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR

The UFC 135 fight between Rampage Jackson and Jon Jones is the fight I am most looking forward to this fall. I think Jones wins this fight, but Jackson will test the young champion like he has not been tested before. Jackson is a special type of fighter with great wrestling and very high level striking that will give Jones real trouble. Of all the amazing match ups that are coming our way this fall I feel like this one should be among the best.

ANWAR PEREZ, MMATORCH COLUMNIST

Hands down the most exciting fight for me is going to be the title fight between Nick Diaz and Georges St. Pierre.� That's a fight that I have been looking forward to since the buyout of Strikeforce by Zuffa, and trust me, with the pedigree of both fighters, it will be the best fight either on the ground or on the feet.� Both Diaz and St. Pierre will certainly bring it.

ALEX WILLIAMS, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR

Georges St. Pierre vs. Nick Diaz.� Diaz is a blast to watch and while I think GSP can likely wrestle him to victory, Diaz will keep him fighting for all 25 minutes.

JAMIE PENICK, MMATORCH EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

There are so many incredible fights on the docket this fall that it is definitely hard to pick just one. Each of the major pay-per-view events from UFC 134 to UFC 139 features at least one title fight, and all of them are extremely exciting matchups, but I'm most looking forward to Georges St. Pierre vs. Nick Diaz at UFC 137. I love watching both Diaz and Georges St. Pierre in the cage, and though St. Pierre has had a few fights in a row that have left something to be desired, this is a fight where that is likely to change. One reason St. Pierre has been able to simply impose his will for five rounds against so many fighters is that each has brought an area that they are weakest in, and he's been able to exploit that. With Diaz, he's got an opponent that is fearless on the feet, and more than willing to threaten from his back. This is a fight that is going to bring out the best in the UFC Champ, as Diaz is going to make him work in each area of the fight. Ultimately, that should make for a really exciting title fight.

Luminaries gather to honour Button

At the Hungaroring

Once the intense competition of qualifying was over in Hungary, the Formula 1 fraternity put aside their rivalries for an unusual social occasion.

Luminaries from the top to the bottom of the paddock had crammed into McLaren's buzzing motorhome on Saturday evening to celebrate Jenson Button's 200th Grand Prix.

It was a fascinating scene for the F1 voyeur. Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali stood chatting to Mercedes motorsport chief Norbert Haug with a friendly arm around his shoulder. Team Lotus driver Jarno Trulli perched on a stool under the towering presence of Silver Arrows team boss Ross Brawn as Sauber's Sergio Perez mingled with the Virgin Racing drivers.

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso nearly stole the show when the former McLaren arch-rivals warmly embraced each other, suggesting the particularly bitter cold war between the 2007 team-mates was well and truly thawing.

But the evening had been arranged by McLaren to mark Button's career and each of the 31-year-old's previous team bosses - with the exception of exiled Renault boss Flavio Briatore and BAR-Honda chief Dave Richards - spoke enthusiastically about the Somerset-born racer.

Button's F1 career began in 2000 when he beat Brazilian Bruno Junqueira in a shoot-out for a Williams race seat.

Sir Frank Williams had a unique take on the then 20-year-old, recalling: "In those days he was devastatingly good-looking and was always being pursued.

"He is a top, top guy. I really think that. He knew exactly how to get to the top and was completely unstoppable."

After two seasons with the Benetton team, which was re-branded Renault, Button lost his drive to Alonso and joined BAR, which then morphed into Honda.

The Japanese team helped the Englishman win his first race at the 113th attempt in 2006 in the only wet race - so far - to be held at the Hungaroring.

Shortly afterwards Brawn joined Honda, and under the former Ferrari technical guru Button went on to claim the world title in 2009 with the renamed Brawn Grand Prix team.

Brawn toasted his former charge, saying: "Jenson has got some essential qualities; speed, honesty, integrity and professionalism. Eventually he put all those things together in 2009.

"The greatest compliment I can pay him is I'm really sad he's not driving for us still."

Luckily, Michael Schumacher - who just happened to win a record seven world titles with Brawn - and his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg weren't around to weigh the implications of that remark.

It was left to Martin Whitmarsh, Button's chief at McLaren for the last two seasons, to fill in the gaps in the Englishman's career.

"Grand prix wins 10, pole positions seven, podiums 35, fastest laps four, number of points 650..." Whitmarsh began before Button tried to boost his statistics saying: "Why can't you make some of this up?"

Whitmarsh continued: "What [the list] doesn't say is; a great world champion and a fantastic ambassador to F1 - and the son of a smurf." The latter - and lesser-known fact - was a humorous reference to Dad John Button's nickname 'Papa Smurf'.

Finally, Button took centre stage, surveyed the room of F1 faces, friends, media and McLaren staff before choosing his words carefully.

"Wow! 200," he had begun. "Somebody actually asked me the other day what does 200 mean to you and first of all I thought they were talking about the number of PR days I've done this year.

"For a racing driver, the number normally doesn't mean so much but it makes you think back to the good times you've had - and the bad times.

"Winning the world championship was a big thing for me but winning grands prix and fighting it out with the best, I'm very lucky to be in that position.

"It's not over yet. I'm hoping for many, many more. Martin..?"

Lightweights Yves Edwards and Rafaello Oliveira booked for UFC on Versus 6 bout

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

The UFC has added another fight to the UFC on Versus 6 card this October, as lightweights Yves Edwards and Rafaello Oliveira will square off on the card.

Edwards gets back into the cage for the first time since suffering one of the most brutal losses of his MMA career in June. Taking on Sam Stout at UFC 131 in Vancouver last month, Edwards was knocked out cold by a vicious counter left, leaving him unconscious for several scary moments. The loss snapped a three fight winning streak that included two fights in the Octagon since making his return.

Oliveira returned to the organization in May after four fights away from the UFC, but while he picked up wins in all of those fights, he failed to do so in the Octagon. Oliveira's overall UFC record was sent to just 1-3, as he was submitted by Gleison Tibau at UFC 130.

UFC on Versus 6 takes place from the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. on October 1, headlined by a Bantamweight Championship fight between Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson.

Penick's Analysis: Edwards will have more leeway should he lost a second straight fight here, but Oliveira will more than likely be on his way out if he loses this fight. A 1-4 mark in the Octagon is not likely to keep you on the roster. As for the fight itself, it should make for a solid preliminary card fight for a free event, and with Edwards involved it should definitely be entertaining.

UFC signs undefeated British heavyweight Philip De Fries for UFC 138 bout in England

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

The UFC continues to fill up their November return to England with British talent, and according to multiple published reports, they've added an undefeated British heavyweight fighter to the mix for UFC 138.

25-year-old Philip De Fries announced via his Facebook page that he has signed a multi-fight agreement with the UFC, and according to reports the 7-0 fighter will debut on the UFC 138 card.

No opponent has yet been set for De Fries, but he'll likely be on the preliminary card portion of the event, coming November 5 from the LG Arena in Birmingham.

De Fries has won all seven of his fights by submission, six of which have come in the first round and five of which have come by rear naked choke. All seven fights have taken place over the last two years.

UFC 138 is headlined by a middleweight bout between Chris Leben and Mark Munoz, and airs in the U.S. via same day delay on Spike TV.

Penick's Analysis: The UFC can always use more heavyweight fighters, and an undefeated British prospect the likes of De Fries is a good addition. With serious submission skills and stopping all of his opponents, De Fries could come in and make an impression right away against the right level of opponent. I'll be interested to see who the UFC matches him up against in his debut, and either way I'll be looking forward to seeing how he performs in the Octagon.
