    Silva/Sonnen will not go down in Brazil, sadly.

    Jose Aldo to fight on the Brazil card, once they secure a venue. Replacement for Silva/Sonnen.

    No word on whether Cruz/Faber will remain on the July 7th card with the Silva/Sonnen moving to it.

    Sounds like the next TUF Brazil will be coached by Shogun & Machida, which is great.

    Shogun & Machida both have state side fights booked that have yet to be announced.

    Sounds like Jones/Hendo could go down in Calgary.

    So are they not fighting? Or will it just be way down the line? Not very interested in Shogun/Machida 3.

    Hard to look that far into the future but it seems that they are being considered as coaches for the next season of TUF Brazil and would fight afterwards. Dunno what the timeline is for that. They both have bout agreements that have or haven't been signed for fights this year in the US but not against each other.

    Sure. I think everyone is down with that.

    Shogun/Gustafsson sounds good, too.

    Shogun/Rashad sounds good too at some point.

    Almost feels like with Rashad losing to Jones there's going to be a tourney for #2 in the division lol.
