“It was a surprise, but not really. I’ve always felt there was some kind of issue between the UFC and me; I never understood what it was. I felt like – I never really felt like they were happy with me, they never talked to me or explained anything to me about how they felt or where they stood, so it was a surprise in that sense, but it wasn’t a surprise in that I kind of felt it coming.”

“I mean, she’s obviously not willing to go through the effort to go for the fight,” UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey told ‘Showdown’ Joe Ferraro. “If you’re pumped full of steroids and the lightest you can get it 145 it’s obvious the lightest you can get without steroids is lighter. She refuses to do that and it’s just – I don’t know where this sense of entitlement comes from. She hasn’t had a recorded win in over three years; I mean there’s so many other women. “I’m not – we’re not going to make exceptions and create divisions for someone who was a fraud and defamed the sport.”

It was announced today that a welterweight match-up between Erick Silva (14-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and John Hathaway (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) has been made official for the UFC on FUEL TV 10 event, which will also serve as the finale for the second season of the “Ultimate Fighter: Brazil”. Erick Silva, who was recently forced to pull out of a UFC 156 bout with Jay Hieron due to an injury, will be looking to rebound from a loss he suffered to Jon Fitch this past October. The UFC 153 contest with Fitch may have earned Silva “Fight of the night” honors, but the decision ultimately sent him down the welterweight rankings. Silva will be looking to return to the form that saw him score first-round stoppages over Luis Ramos and Charlie Brenneman.
