The UFC is kind of interested in establishing itself in Brazil. Easily the world’s third-hottest MMA bed at the very least, Brazil has become the apple of the Octagon’s eye.
That’s why you have UFC on Fuel TV 10 going down this Saturday from a city called Fortaleza. It’s the third Brazilian locale to host a UFC event so far in 2013. This one doubles as the finale of the second season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.
The cornerstone fight this weekend pits the season’s two coaches against each other. It’s an old Brazilian lion in Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (arguably the nation’s most popular non-Anderson Silva combatant) against a not-exactly-young-but-definitely-still-highly-viable lion in Fabricio Werdum.
Here are information capsules and predictions for all 13 fights going down from Fortaleza, from Facebook to finale.
