First fight was unbelievable.  Can't wait for this one.  Cool it will be on cable TV (not PPV).

this fight makes me

Maldonado vs villante will be epic.

Shit. I don't know. I'm not too stoked for this one. I would have liked to see Shogun have another fight or two before one like this. Then again, Dan hasn't looked that good in some time, so it's anybody's fight at this point.

UFC's trip to Natal, Brazil, is finally official, and three more bouts have been added to card, including a battle of The Ultimate Fighter winners.

Coming off a submission victory over William Patolino at the TUF: Brazil 2 finale, Leonardo Santos (12-3) returns to the lightweight division to take on TUF: Smashes winner Norman Parke (19-2) on March 23. Santos is 1-0 inside the Octagon, while Parke holds three decision victories under the UFC banner.

Gleison Tibau (28-10), who suffered a second-round knockout loss to Michael Johnson at UFC 168, has signed a new deal with the promotion, and will also return to the Octagon at the Fight Night card. The UFC veteran will fight for the 22nd time in the UFC as he signed to take on Mairbek Taisumov (21-4), who scored a decision win over Tae Hyun Bang in his UFC debut earlier this month.

Another fight set for the card is Thiago Perpetuo vs. Kenny Robertson. Perpetuo (9-2-1) decided to move down to the welterweight division following a knockout loss to Omari Akhmedov last November, while Robertson (12-3) looks to get back on track after dropping a majority decision against Sean Pierson last July.

Multiple sources close to situation confirmed the fights to MMAFighting.com, following reports from PVT and Combate.

lol with the exception of tibau

This will be a war!

IMO bad fight for hendo he just renewed to a 6 fight deal even if he wins I feel it will take a huge toll on both guys.

Honestly do you guys think Dan has 6 competitive fights left in him?

I even heard him talking about a drop to 185 l(huge mistake)

I think shogun fight is stylistically a perfect fight for hendo but how many fights out of the 6 di you see him winning?

Love Dan hope for best but he hasn't looked stellar and a war with shogun isn't gonna help his aging body.

Both guys are past prime but it should be an exciting war. Going with Shogun.

Just read hendo doesn't plan on retirement even tho trt is outlawed in numerous places.

Good to hear looking forward to this fight should be fun.

I got Shogun.

Two of my favorites of all time, but I really hope Shogun smashes Hendo tonight.

Stringer vs baroso is now on main card since brandao vs chope was scrapped due to chope being released by ufc.

Steven siler got absolutely ROBBED

Came back from a night of fishing in time to watch these fights. Can't muster up the motivation to watch this. The UFC just bores me most of the time. As soon as I turned on the live stream and heard Jon Anik's voice I just turned the thing off. I will wait to hear of the results. If something that is a must-see happens I might see if I can find the fight uploaded somewhere.

i hate my life

Henderson hit shogun in the back of the head way to many times.....fuck that stoppage IMO

reminded me of that fedor punches to back of head

Nice DQ win for Shogun. Hendo cheated again to win

Dude shogun was out of the fight as soon as his nose got fucking flattened LOL(which was way before any of the gnp)

Shogun looked really good until he got ktfo
