As we all know UFC on Fuel TV 8 was last night in Japan. This event was pretty dull with the exception of the Co-Main Event and the Main Event of the evening. That's right, Silva vs. Stann and Hunt vs. Struve saved this event from being a complete disaster. The event was the UFC's return to to Japan for the first time since the UFC 144 pay-per-view in February 2012 when Benson Henderson took the Lightweight Title Belt from Frankie Edgar. You can watch the Silva/Stann fight highlights here:

The race for the top three spots are on, and it looks like they're pulling away from the rest of us. Let's see if they can do just as well in our next contest which is :
UFC 158: GSP vs. Nick Diaz
Date: March 16, 2013 (Saturday) @ 6:05 PM EDT
Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Venue: Bell Centre
Broadcast: Pay-per-view, FX, Facebook
This is going to be a war considering how much these two hate each other, there's certainly been some heated words between these two and it's led to a final showdown inside the Octagon! Don't miss out on what is being hyped as possibly the fight of the year. I'll see you there.
