Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) That photo clearly demonstrates Arlovski's problem: compared to Silva, he has no chin!
Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) This will be Gleison Tibau's 23rd fight in the UFC but his first appearance in the main/co-main event. Eight years in the making.
Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) Who has the most bouts in the UFC? Tito Ortiz (27), Matt Hughes (25), Randy Couture (24), Chuck Liddell/Josh Koscheck/Frank Mir/BJ Penn (23)
Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) Apparently Wendell Oliveira would like everyone to start calling him War Machine, if that's cool.

Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) I guess not. The UFC is not okay with him calling himself War Machine and won't use that nickname.
Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) This is the kind of card where it makes you wonder why it is even happening. I get that the roster is bloated and they need to get guys fights, but there is only one fight on the card of any consequence.
Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) It's for the live audience in Brazil. Whether there is a US audience for the show is barely an afterthought. (or it wouldn't be buried on Fight Pass)
^ Yeah. Didn't think I'd see the day where the UFC would be running "house shows" like pro wrestling, though. Results via MMA Junkie Andrei Arlovski def.

Re: UFC Fight Night 51: Silva vs. Arlovski (Sep/13) Bonuses Andrei Arlovski, Godofredo Pepey, Gleison Tibau and Piotr Hallmann each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s “UFC Fight Night 51: Bigfoot vs. Arlovski 2″ event.
Piotr Hallmann has been suspended nine months following a failed drug test at this past month’s UFC Fight Night 51 event, where he won a “Fight of the Night” bonus. The Brazilian Athletic Commission (CABMMA) today announced Hallman who co-headlined the UFC Fight Pass-streamed event, tested positive for the anabolic steroid drostanolone.
Getting my hopes up that The Pitbull is back to his old dominant form. Not sure he gets a title shot, but he's still fun to watch for sure.
