"We're back on track," UFC President Dana White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "Anderson Silva wasn't scheduled to fight at all. I called him today, and he's shooting a commercial in Brazil. Anderson Silva steps up, and Stephan Bonnar wants to fight him. The Teixeira vs. Maldonado fight comes together, and then Nogueira was standing right there with Anderson shooting the commercial with him, and he said he wanted to fight, too.

"This is old-school UFC. A card is in jeopardy, but guys that are world champions and superstars stepped up and jumped in and saved the card. This is why the fans love this sport and why we went on a 12-year run without canceling an event."

Main card will be six fights.

All down with Maldonado-Tex though

Ya this fight is fun if u like Anderson Silva highlight reel KO's, but this is non competitive. Pretty weak imo.

Anderson Silva vs. Stephan Bonnar - light heavyweight fight
Dave Herman vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Fabio Maldonado vs. Glover Teixeira
Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva
Phil Davis vs. Wagner Prado
Demian Maia vs. Rick Story


Shit, I'll take that card all day long.

Cards good. And Im sure the headliner will provide a brilliant highlight.

But this again points to Anderson hypocrisy. He can fight the likes of Bonnar, but Weidman is no bueno? And I don't care that it's at 205. We've seen this b4. Fighting the slower 205's only makes it easier for Silva.

If you're wondering, Silva-Bonnar is a three-round main event. #ufc153

That main event is shit. I'm sorry but thats fucking weak. The rest of the card isn't bad tho, still not buying that shit.

IMO this is one of the better cards this year. One of the few actually worth the money. This is a top 5 card for 2012.

card isnt bad........fitch, silva, bonnar, nog, gonzaga, story, maia not bad imo and atleast bonnar has a chin and should make it a dog fight for atleast a round.

It will probably look alot like when Jon Jones dominated Bonnar. Dropped multiple times but never finished. I could see that happening. But it would be EPIC if Bonnar landed one on the button and put Spider out cold. American Psycho FTW!

Maybe I just can't see it that way with that stain of a fucking ME at the top

I have loved the last 2 Brazil cards. The crowd and the atmosphere just seem to take the entire card to another level. There is no way I'm going to miss this card. Even if my boy Stephan gets worked in the main event. I love his heart. But that fight could be off the card and I would still be pumped for this card. I think once the sting of the main event wears off, you might start to dig this card.
