White said a host city for the Brazilian version of "TUF" has yet to be determined but will, of course, air in Brazil. However, White said the international editions of the show will also likely air in the U.S.

"What we're talking about is the other ones that air in other countries, we're trying to figure out how we can air them on FUEL TV," White said. "We'll probably air them on FUEL TV.

"If you're a UFC fan, you want FUEL TV. FUEL TV is going to be loaded with all kinds of incredible UFC programming, including live fights and live fights from other countries."

Fuel TV is going to be the bane of our existence in 2012.

I was just reading Bloody Elbow and someone in the comments said they fired Mike Fagan, and removed some "Faganate posts"

Anyone know what went down?

About damn time. Fagan was all asshole all the time, and it got old a looong time ago.

And big lol @ that quote about Diaz's BJJ.........whoever that is seems to forget about Penn's BJJ credentials

Oliveira temporarily dropping to 145. I'm surprised he's lost his last 3 in a row. He just comes across as better than that in my mind.

Nick Diaz said:
"I’ve sparred with him before, and he’s fought the best there is, so he would know,” Diaz said. “This is not a fight for me, it’s more of a sporting competition this time,” he said. “I hope nobody’s too disappointed if it doesn’t go the same way it always does."

Nick going into the fight with a GSP mentality, hmmmmmmmm.

He will have to try because I don't see him standing with Diaz and winning.If he attempts to wrestle though,I think will just gas faster,especially in clinch.

Diaz hasn't improved his wrestling since the last time he was in the bigs.

I'm sure he has especially considering he was to fight GSP.

One thing for sure is Diaz is bigger and has better cardio than before,and those are big factors for wrestling ,IMO. I don't think Penn has the gas to be messing around with wrestling unless Diaz gets really rocked.

Nice to be in Canada and just have everything sorted out to Sportsnet.

Never thought I'd be cheering for BJ Penn, but this weekend I hope he smashes Diaz.

typical. gsp fans don't want any part of diaz, so they want easier matchups for their boy toy against guys he's already thoroughly decisioned in an athletic competition.

Dana continues to shy away from questions about BJ getting another shot at GSP. I think if when he wins, the next title shot will go to Ellenberger assuming he beats Diego.

deep down you know uncle dana wants nick to win because he can sell the shit out of that fight in the event that gsp decisions carlos conduit in a sparring session between camp mates. 1 million buys guaranteed.

Definitely fair to say Dana is rooting for Diaz tomorrow night. Honestly, BJ beating Nick and Diego beating Jake puts the WW division in bad shape and those aren't exactly unlikely scenarios. At that point, you're left with Fitch getting smashed by Georges again.

UFC President Dana White on Thursday confirmed that the promotion is in talks to take a show to Hawaii in 2012.

“Next year. We’re looking at next year,” White responded when asked about the UFC in Hawaii.

The UFC’s schedule hasn’t been set for next year yet, but Hawaii has always appeared on the radar for the organization once the state commission there instituted a set of rules similar to those held in other areas of the United States.

Now with those rules and sanctioning in place, the UFC has an open door to land in Hawaii.

As far as where the event could take place, that’s still under discussion, but Hawaii is known for having many arenas that are outdoors and White says the company could be ready to embrace that type of show.

“It’s probably going to be outside,” White stated.

Fucking finally. Sounds like it'll be at Aloha Stadium. Can't think of anywhere else outdoors that it'll fit.

as fate had it, i was in arizona for a wedding so i was not in attendance, but i heard the boo-birds were out in full force, not that i can blame them. i don't think the card was all that great, and the cote/silva fight turned out to be a debacle.

i think it's time to return tho, and 2 strikeforce cards don't count.

Between Silva/Cote and Gray Maynard being Gray Maynard, I'm not sure what kind of reaction you would expect. The boos would have been heard regardless of where they were.

They know if someone is gay or not. It's like any other sport where everyone keeps the secret. Some make a thread about this.

you can say that about any pro sport though, i don't think that attitude is exclusive to the mma or ufc. i doubt a gay guy coming out in a pro football or hockey locker room going over too well either.
