Re: UFC on Fuel TV 10: Nogueira vs. Werdum (Jun/8) Jason High moves up from the prelims to face Erick Silva (due to an injury to John Hathaway). No word yet on who will take his place against Alcantara. Hathaway's fought three times from 2011-now. Ease up in training, Hitman.

Re: UFC on Fuel TV 10: Nogueira vs. Werdum (TONIGHT!) 7 submissions tonight and counting. New record for the modern (non-tournament) UFC era.

Seems Big Nog learned his lesson from the Mir fight--tapping out is worthwhile if you're stuck and want to avoid being on the shelf for 6-9 months due to an avoidable injury. Still strange to see him submitted again.
Missed these fights, but watching the post fight UFC show and Sonnen and Stann are actually pretty good. And this is coming from someone whowillfind any excuse to hate Sonnen.
$50,000 bonuses going out to... Thiago Silva & Rafael Feijao, Thiago Silva (again), and Erick Silva Thought Damm/Hirota might get FOTN but Silva/Feijao, brief as it was, was pure action.
His stance on Glover Teixeira is a little odd. Dude is on a 19-fight winning streak. Hasn't beaten anyone at 205? Rampage? Silva is 2-3-2 in his last seven. Granted, it'd be a good'n, but we're hurting for contenders at 205 as it is. Sonnen saying anyone else doesn't deserve a title shot for any reason is pretty hilarious.
Going to have to question Big Nog's game-planning at this point. Has (chinny) Frank Mir rocked, takes him down, gets reversed and submitted. Is doing well in the stand-up with Werdum, wearing him out along the cage, tries to grapple with him, gets submitted. Is it pride or force of habit?
