Bleacher Report takes you back into the Octagon with an all-new edition of The Ultimate Show. 

Things really heated up down in Brazil this past weekend as the UFC held their first event in the South American country (and birthplace of some of the most prolific fighters ever) in over a decade and it didn’t disappoint. Host Kenda Perez takes you though what went down and previews what’s next in the world of ultimate fighting.

We sent a team out to Modesto, California to Oakdale MMA where we sat with one of the youngest fighters to ever set foot in the Octagon—Michael Mayday McDonald and his brothers join us in another exclusive and insightful panel. Also, we’ve uncovered a long-lost tape from The Ultimate Show archives, revealing all the secrets to executing a successful rear naked choke. Let’s put it this way: This episode is packed with so much content, you can’t miss it.

This week on Bleacher Report’s “The Ultimate Show” we take a look at UFC 134 and the UFC’s return to Rio, we catch up with Dominick Cruz and we sit down with the Scrap Pack for a discussion on all things UFC and sit down with some B/R contributors for a debate on BJ Penn‘s best fights!

Watch now as Kenda Perez hosts “The Ultimate Show” and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami is going to be the fight to see at UFC 134 on August 27th, 2011. It’s going to be an intense battle in which Yushin believes he is going to “have to destroy him [Silva].” Anderson Silva on the other hand is a little more modest about the debate on strength, “If strength was such a difference, the elephant would be the king of the jungle, not the lion”.

On the Weigh-In Dominick Cruz chats about his team the Alliance and talks about his win against Urijah Faber and Team Edge’s Brian Stann took time off to talk about how being a UFC fighter is a “blue collar job” and explains the approachableness of the UFC from other sports.
