http://themmareport.com/2012/12/wanderlei-silva-vs-brian-stann-headlines-ufc-on-fuel-tv-8-in-japan/

Wanderlei Silva vs. Brian Stann
Stefan Struve vs. Mark Hunt
Diego Sanchez vs. Takanori Gomi
Dong Hyun Kim vs. Siyar Bahadurzada
Riki Fukuda vs. Brad Tavares
Takeya Mizugaki vs. Bryan Caraway
Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Marcelo Guimaraes
Kyung Ho Kang vs. Alex Caceres
Kazuki Tokudome vs. Cristiano Marcello

I think Wanderlei takes a nap here.

Winnable fight for Wandy

Stann-Wandy is at 205

great card overall, should get us some KOs for sure

Why not? After travel to Japan it's probably better for both. I'm sure neither will look worse at 205 then they would have at 185. Both guys should be better because of it.

Wand already said he was moving back to 205. Stann said all the top middleweights are matched up and i'm sure fighting Silva in Japan is very appealing

I didn't know that, but sounds like a good idea. Actually would be perfect if he could fight some tweeners at Franklin weight.

That is a sick FUEL card. I wish they would air FUEL cards on FSN as well.

Uh-oh Wandi is going to get knocked out here.

Bother were champions at 205 so no big deal. I like it. Leaning Stann but could go either way really.

Obvious, but gotta lean Stann on the power to chin ratio that both currently have. I think it would be interesting if Wandy tried to work some surprise takedowns in

please dont get clipped wand thats all I ask

Good night sweet prince Crying or Very sad

Wand still has another good one in him. Wand is the man in Japan, ageless like Peter Pan.

If Wandy can't even beat Leban at this point, I don't see him having a shot against Stann at all.

Don't get fooled into MMAth. Don't forget Wand beat Cung who beat Ace who beat Wand.

I don't think he was using MMAth, he was pointing out that Leben is a much slower fighter than Stann who packs a similar amount of power and Wanderlei got put out in that fight. Stann represents a similar power striking element but with more speed and precision behind it.
