UFC on Fuel 10 is official. While several of the bouts were already announced and others had been rumored, the company finalized the complete 13-fight card on Wednesday.
The June 8 event at Ginasio Paulo Sarasate in Fortaleza, Brazil is the culmination of the second season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” and will be headlined by the heavyweight coaches bout between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fabricio Werdum.
The card will also feature the welterweight finals of TUF Brazil 2 and a light heavyweight bout between Thiago Silva and Rafael Cavalcante.
The 13-fight card was originally scheduled to include a pair of welterweight bouts in Erick Silva against John Hathaway and Jason High vs. Ildemar Alcantara. However, Hathaway recently had to pull out of the event with an injury, so Silva will face High and Alcantara will square off against promotional newcomer Leandro Silva.
