The UFC is back in Rio tonight with a card full of Brazilians looking to put on a performance for the fans at UFC 153. The Brazilian fans saw the card get hit by the injury bug that scrapped the top two fights on the card but ultimately got more then they could have ever hoped for tonight.
Back again with another 8-Bit MMA Poster for this Saturday’s UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar. This card has been through numerous changes and injuries but somehow still managed to put on a decent card for Brazil and MMA fans all around the world.
The UFC will be in action for the fourth consecutive weekend when they return to Brazil for UFC 153 this weekend. The fight card has gone through a serious face lift since the original UFC 153 fight card was announced, especially the top three bouts.
Ice is back with my brand new invention, something grabs ahold of me tightly, then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly, will I ever stop…ok Ill stop. I am back with my award-winning series, ok I have not won any awards but I definitely should with this one. Today’s MMA six-pack on ICE is with UFC middleweight Chris Camozzi, who is fighting Luiz Cane in Brazil at UFC 153 and he took a little time out to answer some crazy questions.
The UFC will return to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on October 13th with UFC 153: Aldo vs. Koch. Tickets for the event will go on sale this Thursday August 23rd and the complete UFC 153 fight card has now been finalized. The card will take place at the HSBC Arena, which held the successful UFC 134 and UFC 142 events.
Even without an athletic commission in Brazil the UFC handed down medical suspensions on the fighters following UFC Rio (UFC 134). 16 fighters or two-thirds of the entire card were suspended, ranging anywhere from 7 days mandatory rest to 180 days pending doctor’s clearance.
With the highly anticipated UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami (UFC: Rio) completed and in the history books, it’s easy now to sit back and view the event as a whole. The crowd comes to mind right away because if you watched any portion of the card (Facebook Prelims, SpikeTV Prelims or PPV Main Card), you probably noticed the extremely loud Brazilians cheering, booing, and shouting at maximum volume for seemingly the whole event.
Four out of five isn’t that bad. Following the Brazilian fighters going six for six on the preliminary card, the hometown fighters went four for five on the main card. Somewhere inside the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Luiz Cane is sitting there thinking to himself, why me?
