RIO DE JANEIRO — Neil Magny will go 5-0 in 2014 if he beats William Macario at UFC 179, but the welterweight wants more. In an interview during the official media day in Brazil, Magny discussed his evolution since a couple losses in 2013, if he can fight one more time this year, what’s next after “Patolino” and more.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Phil Davis is undefeated against Brazilians in the UFC, but light heavyweight contender Glover Teixeira wants to end this streak on Saturday night.
Teixeira is set to collide with Davis in the co-main event of UFC 179 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Oct. 25, and he’s hoping to beat “Mr. Wonderful,” who defeated Rogerio Nogueira, Wagner Prado, Vinny Magalhaes and Lyoto Machida inside the Octagon.
“The only way to change this is going there and facing this,” Teixeira told the media during a pre-fight workout at Maracana stadium on Thursday. “He has beaten a lot of Brazilians, but I will end this with a knockout.”
It’s no secret that Teixeira wants to keep the fight standing, because he’s aware of Davis’ wrestling skills.
“I trained a lot for this,” he said. “I have to stop his wrestling. If I don’t stop it, I will lose. I’ve trained a lot for this, and I believe in my wrestling. Phil Davis moves backwards before going for a takedown. But I have a really good jiu-jitsu. There’s no way out for him.
“I always go for the knockout in every fight. There’s no such thing as ‘studying Phil Davis.’”
Coming off a unanimous decision loss to UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Teixeira wants to make another run to the title. A win over Davis won’t be enough to get there faster, though.
“I don’t think this win will get me closer to the title,” Teixeira said. “I believe I will have to make more fights before (fighting for the title again).”

Jose Aldo, Chad Mendes and the other stars of UFC 179 stepped on the Maracana field for the workouts this Thursday, and it was a historical moment for the sport. On this day 63 years ago, one of the biggest fights in the history of the sport took place at the soccer stadium, when Masahiko Kimura tapped Helio Gracie with a submission that was later named after him.
With MMA returning to Maracanazinho at its finest with UFC 179, the promotion boosts the pre-fight events in Rio de Janeiro. The UFC’s office in Brazil came up with the idea to promote a quiz show about MMA called “Você Sabia?” (which means “Did you know?” in Portuguese).
“We created the ‘Você Sabia?’ to inform and entertain the MMA fans in UFC events in Brazil, remembering important moments and people in the history of the UFC,” Grace Tourinho told MMAFighting.com. “Since this UFC card is at Maracanazinho, a temple of MMA in Brazil, we had the idea to do an historical edition remembering important chapters of the early days of vale tudo in the 1950s, 1980s and 1990s, the PRIDE era, and the first UFC shows.”
Before the UFC 179 workouts, Robson Gracie and Joao Alberto Barreto, two of the great names of jiu-jitsu and vale tudo, received a pair of UFC gloves signed by UFC champion Jose Aldo.
“This was Carlos Gracie’s dream,” Robson Gracie said. “One of the things he always said was that they taught jiu-jitsu to turn a p—y into a warrior, turn a Brazilian into a champion. There’s no fight anywhere in the world where a Brazilian is not involved.”
The UFC will also promote an edition of “Você Sabia?” on Saturday night, hours before the first preliminary bout at Maracanazinho, and veteran journalist Marcelo Alonso will join UFC reporter Paula Sack.
“’Você Sabia?’ was created by the UFC office in Brazil, and I heard that Dana White loved the idea,” Alonso said. “They did that twice already in previous UFC events, and Grace Tourinho came up with the idea to do a special edition based on the photos of my book.”
“We will talk about 17 photos, from Helio vs. Kimura to Carlson Gracie to Murilo Bustamante to Ruas vs. Pinduka, always connecting the history to Maracanazinho and the UFC,” he continued. “Maracanazinho is the Colosseum of Brazilian MMA. A lot of important, historical fights happened here.”

RIO DE JANEIRO — Jose Aldo is the last non-American UFC champion, but he’s not worried about it.
Set to headline Saturday night’s UFC 179 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, against Chad Mendes, the Nova Uniao featherweight is not thinking about what this fight means to the future of MMA in his country.
“I try to forget this,” Aldo told the media after Thursday’s workouts at Maracana stadium. “It’s Jose Aldo in there, I want to do my job, believe in what I do. Winning the fight, I carry the whole world on my shoulders.”
Being the Brazilian fighting in Rio de Janeiro has its privileges, though. Aldo finished both opponents he’s fought in Rio, including a first-round knockout over Mendes in 2012, and he’s planning to go 3-0 in Rio with another finish on Saturday night.
“This support is wonderful. Fighting with this crowd backing me up… I get even more excited and confident,” Aldo said. “It will be sold out on Saturday night, everybody celebrating and fighting with me. I’m going through (Mendes) like a runaway truck.”
Aldo and Mendes have some heated pre-fight interviews going into this fight, but Aldo won’t let trash talk affect his performance.
“I’m only thinking about winning the fight,” he said. “I’m well trained, physically well, and my head is good. It’s time to go there and do my job. They are talking a lot, but I’m not much of a talker. I will go there and do what I do. Even parrots talk. I don’t care about what they say.”
