And in other big Canadian news, UFC 129 was this past weekend. For the first time ever, Dana White didn’t give the belt to the main event winner. That honour went to a Canadian man with a pretty cool story. (Cagewriter)

After the jump, sports’ big money earners, Osama bin Laden stories and an Aussie V8 supercar in a super fireball.

Speaking of the UFC, Dana White is running his mouth a bit much. Now he’s starting to catch some flack for his tweets about Jenna Jameson. (Bloody Elbow)
