The Ultimate Show is gearing up for another trip to Brazil as we preview UFC 153. Like many other fight cards before this one, UFC 153 was hit by the injury bug. The card was originally slated to have Frankie Edgar making his featherweight debut against the dominating champ Jose Aldo. But Aldo had to pull out due to a foot injury, leaving the card with no headliner.

Now Anderson Silva is set to move up in weight to 205 and take on “American Psycho” Stephan Bonnar. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Bonnar is in for the fight of his life.

With an exciting undercard, Jon Fitch is set to square off against Brazilian phenom Erick Silva on Saturday. The Ultimate Show sat Erick Silva down to get his thoughts on American movie stars, his career before UFC and his newfound popularity. AKA fighter Jon Fitch also stopped by to give us his thoughts on his young opponent and what it’s going to be like fighting in Silva’s home country of Brazil.

As always, Big Nasty stops by to gives us all his favorite UFC tweets from the past week.

The Ultimate Show goes all out this week, as UFC 152 is right around the corner.

This is a UFC card that does not come around very often, being that there is not one, but two title fights on the card.

Of course everyone knows that Jon Jones is fighting Vitor Belfort for the light-heavyweight belt, due in large part to the backlash he received a month prior for refusing the Chael Sonnen fight. The second fight is between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson and will determine who will be the first to ever hold the UFC flyweight belt.

The Ultimate Show caught up with Joseph Benavidez to get his thoughts on everything from his previous fight and TKO over Yasuhiro Urushitani, to his man date with opponent Demetrious Johnson and Michael Bisping.

Also, former heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez stops by to show us one of his staple moves for our move of the week. See all of that and more here on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Show.
