    Contrary to earlier reports, Vitor Belfort will be coaching against Wanderlei Silva, not Anderson Silva, in the first Brazilian iteration of The Ultimate Fighter (tentatively titled The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil), and the two will fight at the finale. The two first fought in 1998 at UFC Brazil: Ultimate Brazil, with Belfort famously rushing and knocking-out Silva in 44-seconds. Tryouts are being held for TUF Brazil right now, and no announcements have yet been made regarding whether the show will be aired stateside.

    Fuel TV likely to air the episodes. Is it Fuel or Fuel TV?

    Fuel TV, I believe.

    This is interesting...do they fight after Vitor/Rumble? For Wanderlei's sake, I hope not.
