When you think of America's "mean streets," I'm sure you're like me and immediately think of West Linn, Oregon, named after dastardly democratic Senator Lewis F. Linn of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. And its median family income of $83,252 and median property value of $405,000?

That's where he'll challenge "The Spider" for the promotion's 185-pound title (again) after coming up short in their first go-round at UFC 117 way back in Aug. 2010. Sonnen put the screws to the Brazilian kingpin for four-and-a-half rounds before succumbing to a last-minute triangle choke.
