The UFC returned to Fuel TV with one of the more stacked free cable cards since the promotion began a television deal with Fox just over a year ago.
“UFC on Fuel TV 8: Silva vs. Stann” also marked the promotion’s return to Japan and the Saitama Super Arena, the major home of Wanderlei Silva’s greatest run as a PRIDE fighting legend. It’s one of the Japanese venues where he made his name and became the man that many consider to be one of the most terrifying fighters of all time.
And then Silva went and added another amazing Japan moment to his resume when he knocked out Brian Stann in an instant-classic main event.
Not only that, but Mark Hunt dropped the hammer on Stefan Struve and picked up his fourth consecutive win in the UFC.
With the event now in the books, let’s fire up my crotchety old crystal ball and take a look at what might be next for each of the winners from the Fuel-televised main card.
