Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Silva vs. Stann (Mar/3) Wow, look at that fight poster. Does Diego's stance remind anyone of this?
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) The UFC has dubbed this event Japan 2013 instead of Silva vs. Stann, apparently. Guess they aren't going back to Japan again this year.
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) Do Japanese fans like Korean fighters? I always thought there was bad blood between the two countries. I am just asking because I know the UFC likes to put "hometown" guys on foreign cards as much as possible and I wonder if they just stuck some asian dudes in there for marketing purposes without researching.
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) The rivalry between Japan and RK can get kind of nasty. There is a clip online of some Japanese game show hosts pummeling a female Korean fighter IIRC so I suppose it can extend into sports and entertainment. I imagine they put the Korean fighters on the Japanese card in order to draw Korean fans to the event and to be able to promote it on Korean television. They're using Benson Henderson as their Korean Trojan horse like they are with Cain Velasquez in Mexico, but homegrown guys like Kim and Perez are an easy sell.
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) oh wow, I had no idea Henderson is half Korean, that's kinda cool.
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) Looking forward to this card, pretty good for a free fight. Struve vs Hunt should be a good one. I think this could be the KO that ends Silva's career, as well. I can't see him doing well against Stann's power.
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) ^ The top five fights are all really good. Stun Gun might lay on Siyar but other than that I'm expecting some good tilts. Great card.

Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) Is anyone expecting anything out of Wanderlei? I think this matchup is tailor made for Stann. His wrestling is his weakness and Silva will not wrestle him. Stann throws bombs. Silva's chin, as so eloquently put by Sonnen, is more suspect than Pistorius.
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 (Mar/3) MAIN CARD (FUEL TV, 10 p.m. ET) Wanderlei Silva (204) vs. Brian Stann (206) Mark Hunt (266) vs. Stefan Struve (260) Takanori Gomi (156) vs. Diego Sanchez (158)* Hector Lombard (186) vs. Yushin Okami (185) Mizuto Hirota (146) vs. Rani Yahya (146) Siyar Bahadurzada (171) vs. Dong Hyun Kim (171) PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook, 7:30 p.m. ET) Riki Fukuda (186) vs. Brad Tavares (185) Bryan Caraway (135) vs. Takeya Mizugaki (136) Cristiano Marcello (156) vs. Kazuki Tokudome (155) Alex Caceres (136) vs. Kyung Ho Kang (135) Marcelo Guimaraes (171) vs. Hyun Gyu Lim (171) * Sanchez forfeited 20 percent of his fight purse for missing weight.
Re: UFC on Fuel TV 8: Japan 2013 [live right now] Miesha Tate told husband Bryan Caraway to "coast" between the second and third rounds. Takeya takes the fight to him and wins the split decision. Great advice.
