    Saturday's UFC 134 Prelims Get Full Spike, Facebook Treatment From Rio

    The last time the UFC was in Brazil, there was no such thing as Spike TV or Facebook.

    But for Saturday's UFC 134, the promotion's first trip to the South American cradle of MMA since 1998, fans can watch all 12 fights on a combination of Facebook, Spike and pay-per-view.

    This will be the 15th consecutive event that the UFC has utilized Facebook to air preliminary card fights, dating back to January. And for the ninth straight event, each fight on the card will be broadcast in some form. The first five UFC 134 prelims will stream live on Facebook, followed by a pair of fights on Spike leading into the pay-per-view broadcast.

    A pair of fights between Brazilians and Americans leads the Spike broadcast. A middleweight bout between Rousimar Palhares and Dan Miller kicks things off, followed by a lightweight bout between Thiago Tavares and Spencer Fisher.

    Palhares (12-3, 5-2 UFC) fought exclusively in his native Brazil until signing with the UFC in 2008. His last three wins have been by submission. Miller (13-5, 1 NC, 5-4 UFC) has struggled since starting his UFC career 3-0. He suffered a three-fight skid with decision losses to Chael Sonnen, Demian Maia and Michael Bisping, but rebounded with back-to-back wins over John Salter and Joe Doerksen. But in March, he lost a unanimous decision to Nate Marquardt in his native New Jersey.

    Tavares (15-4-1, 5-4-1 UFC) started his career 12-0 but has gone just 3-4-1 in his last eight fights. In March, he was knocked out by Shane Roller at UFC on Versus 3. Fisher (24-7, 9-6 UFC) is also coming off a loss. Ross Pearson took a unanimous decision from him at UFC 127 in Sydney in February, giving the Iowa-based fighter three losses in four fights.

    On the UFC's Facebook page, fans will get a Brazilian-heavy lineup. An opening bantamweight bout between Canada's Yves Jabouin and American Ian Loveland is the only fight on the card to not feature a Brazilian. Three fights on the Facebook prelims feature Brazilians debuting in the UFC against fellow Brazilians. And Paulo Thiago (13-3, 3-3 UFC) looks to end a two-fight skid against David Mitchell (11-1, 0-1 UFC).

    To gain access to the Facebook fights, which will begin at 6 p.m. Eastern, viewers must "like" the UFC on Facebook. As of Wednesday afternoon, the UFC had more than 6.2 million fans at the site. When the UFC first started streaming prelims fights on Facebook in January, it had approximately 4.5 million fans at the social networking site.

    The UFC began streaming preliminary fights in January with its Fight for the Troops 2 show at Fort Hood, Texas. Since then, the promotion has included free Facebook fights for each event, regardless of the main card's platform – be it on pay-per-view, Spike or Versus. For the historic UFC 129 card in Toronto in April, five prelims were aired on Facebook, followed by a pair on Spike leading into the pay-per-view – meaning for the first time, fans were guaranteed the opportunity to see each fight on the card. That has continued for each of the eight events since then, including Saturday's card in Rio.

    UFC 134 features a main event middleweight title fight between champion Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami, the last man to beat him – albeit by disqualification when Silva delivered an illegal upkick and Okami couldn't continue. The co-main event features a rematch between former light heavyweight champions Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Forrest Griffin. And also on the main card, heavyweight Brendan Schaub looks for his fifth straight win in a matchup against Brazilian legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

    Video: Shogun Rua Uses High Tech Strobe Sensory Training to Prepare for UFC 134: Rio



    Basically, these glasses keep flashing intermittently. It temporary blocks his vision and makes it harder to react quicker or to avoid strikes. The goal is that by getting used to working out on these conditions, Shogun will learn to anticipate movement better, so once he removes the glasses, he should be able to react better to his opponent's strikes.


    Check out how Shogun works out in these:






    "Some people have so much respect for their superiors
    they have none left for themselves."

    Heb even geen tijd te checken of het al gepost is,..

    Na het succes wat UFC Rio nu al is gaat de UFC in 2012 verder met shows in Brazilie. Gister stond er hier in de kranten en op internet dat een van die Ferritas een contract heeft gesloten met gouverneur (Omar Azzis) voor een UFC in Manaus in de maand augustus.
    De bedoeling is dat dat in het grote Samba-stadion gehouden gaat worden (kan 100.000 man in)

    heb hier een link in het portugees

    Yushin Okami Won't Say How, but Insists He'll Beat Anderson Silva at UFC 134

    RIO DE JANEIRO -- When you're trying to conduct an interview through a translator, not everything gets through with perfect clarity. When you're trying to do it through two translators, that's when it starts to feel a little like communicating through smoke signals.

    Take Wednesday afternoon's workouts, for example.

    When a Brazilian reporter attempted to ask Yushin Okami whether he thought UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva deserved to be called the world's best pound-for-pound fighter, that question then had to be translated from Portuguese to English for Okami's trainer/translator -- at this point, 'pound-for-pound' became 'weight-for-weight,' which confused everybody and necessitated a minute or so of word-wrangling between the two translators -- then into Japanese for Okami, who listened intently like a man trying to work out an Algebra question in his head before answering in Japanese, so that it could be translated into English by his trainer and finally into Portuguese by the UFC's translator.

    It's like a game of telephone, only the subject always has something to do with grown men beating each other up for money, so at least there's a context you can guess at. From what we heard out of Okami, who was all business in the midst of Wednesday's Brazilian beach party, my guess is he expects to leave Rio as the UFC middleweight champ, even if he won't say how he plans on accomplishing it.

    "I understand many people are saying Anderson Silva is the [best] pound-for-pound fighter, but it really doesn't matter to me," Okami said via his translator. "I'm going to beat him, and I'm going to be the middleweight champion."

    And how will the fans in Brazil feel about that, if Okami really does ruin their party in the UFC 134 main event on Saturday night? He doesn't know, and, not surprisingly, he doesn't particularly care.

    Fighting Silva on neutral territory would be enough to think about. Fighting him in Brazil, where people have been "very warm" to him so far, according to Okami, is something he seems to be trying to put out of his mind entirely.

    "I kind of knew that [the UFC] would ask [me] to come to Brazil. I knew it was coming," Okami said, adding later, "I don't think about where I fight; I always think about who I fight. This time I'm going to fight Anderson Silva."

    Of course, that part of the equation is something he experienced before, when the two met in Honolulu in 2006, where Okami came away with a victory via disqualification after Silva hit him with an illegal upkick. That was many fights ago for both men, however, and lately Okami has been training in Oregon with Chael Sonnen, who took Silva to the brink last summer before succumbing to a fifth-round submission.

    While Okami said that his first meeting with Silva gave him "a lot of lessons," he suggested that his approach in Saturday's title fight would be more than just a facsimile of Sonnen's game plan.

    "I and Chael are different fighters, so obviously I cannot just imitate his fighting style," said Okami. "I need to adjust my style to fight Anderson Silva."

    On Wednesday it quickly became apparent that the challenger was merely the supporting cast in the eyes of Brazilian fans. Silva was practically the whole show, and Okami was merely a necessary, though forgettable part of the scenery to them. He showed up early, became one of the few fighters to treat the workout portion of the open workouts at least semi-seriously, then answered questions and spent the rest of the time scowling in a corner by himself, waiting to leave.

    As part of the pre-fight hype for this event, he's finally gotten his due from UFC president Dana White, who called him the "best fighter to come out of Japan." As far as UFC success alone, that's probably true.

    At the same time, it's hard to tell how much of that is genuine appreciation for Okami's skills and how much is a marketing tactic.

    Fortunately, Okami doesn't seem too influenced one way or another.

    "I'm very glad to hear that coming from Mr. Dana," Okami said of White's praise. "But I'm doing this to be the best in the world, so I'm going to prove it in the next fight."

    And how, exactly, does he plan to beat the man who many consider to be the "weight-for-weight" best in the world? There was one question he heard often, and one he certainly seemed to understand, but he wisely chose not to give a straight answer to it.

    For now, all Okami is saying is that his strategy will be different from Sonnen's -- and it will work. That's the language of pre-fight certainty that all fighters understand. No translation necessary.

    Brazilian MMA Fans Fire Back at Chael Sonnen

    RIO DE JANEIRO -- One of the big storylines heading into UFC 134 has been whether or not Chael Sonnen, who has criticized the country and its fighters for over a year, will show up to corner his training partner Yushin Okami. Prior to Sonnen announcing that he wasn't going to attend, we talked to some Brazilian MMA fans about his comments and disappearance act. Their responses were as passionate as they come.

    Volgens White waren er 350.000 aanvragen voor tickets... Achteraf gezien heeft die zich lelijk vergist in de venue (slechts 16.000). Hij had een stadion van 100.000 zitplaatsen moeten reserveren. Volgens White zal dit de volgende keer ook gebeuren in Brazilië.
