Well, obviously there's a change.... Nogueira got injured during training (won't be out for too long, needs rehab on his knee) and now will be replaced by returning Thiago Silva. Great card, too so I figured why not talk about this now, with UFC not being on for a little while? Lotta international fighters on this card, and a lot of new faces as well. This being a Fuel TV card, we will see 6 fights on TV instead of the traditional "Fight Night" amount of 4. UFC on FUEL TV "GUSTAFSSON VS. SILVA", 4/14/2012 (Fuel TV/Facebook.com Stream) Ericsson Globe Arena, Stockholm Sweden1. Featherweight bout: Jason Young vs. Eric Wisely 2. Welterweight bout: Simeon Thoresen vs. Besam Yousef 3. Lightweight bout: Reza Madadi vs. Yoislandy Izquierdo 4. Middleweight bout: Francis Carmont vs. Magnus Cedenblad 5. Light Heavyweight bout: Cyrille Diabate vs. Tom DeBlass 6. Welterweight bout: Papy Abedi vs. James Head 7. Bantamweight bout: Brad Pickett vs. Damacio Page 8. Welterweight bout: DaMarques Johnson vs. John Maguire 9. Featherweight bout: Dennis Siver vs. Diego Nunes 10. Welterweight bout: Paulo Thiago vs. Siyar Bahadurzada 11. Middleweight bout: Brian Stann vs. Alessio Sakara 12. Light Heavyweight bout: Alexander Gustafsson vs. Thiago Silva *Fights 1-6 will be broadcasted LIVE on UFC's Facebook page at 12:30pm ET/9:30am PT; fights 7-12 will be broadcasted LIVE on Fuel TV at 3pm ET/12pm PT.

I'm very glad you mentioned that. Diabaté vs. Kruth is probably the fight I'm most looking forward to now. Two crazy-ass Muat Thai fighters. Kruth has fought in K-1 before against some really tough guys, too. Glad UFC picked him up, even if its just a novelty fight for Sweden. A KO is what I'm expecting, from who? Who knows.
I'm also excited to see Siyar Bahadurzada in the UFC finally. He's one of the most aggressive MMA fighters I've ever seen.

I think Gustafsson is good...but Thiago Silva is a beast. I think Thiago will look a bit rusty in the first but will end the fight in the third by g-n-p. I can't ing wait for Stann vs. Sakara. Sakara has a propensity to get knocked silly but I really hope he wins this one.

My roommate & i will be at the bar tomorrow afternoon to see it since we don't have FUEL. Probably the earliest I've ever been to a bar haha. I'm really looking forward to the next 24 hours: Bellator, TUF, Cubs/Cardinals, & the FUEL show.

Actually got up early enough after a wild bar night last night. Fridays anyway. Can't wait for the fights to start. It's been a long 6 weeks without any UFC.

Next up is Reza Madadi vs. Yoislandy Izquierdo. Madadi is on a ROLL right now. He's beaten Rich Climenti, Carlo Prater (current UFC WW), and Junie Browning (dickhead drunk on TUF). He's a pretty exciting fighter.
