TUF Brazil starts this afternoon, you can watch it live on ufc.tv or I'm sure a rip of it will become available afterwards too. I expect the fighters quality to be amazing.

Just watched the first episode of TUF Brazil. Really liked the first fight and the last fight. I think all the fights shown in full were good, 1 or 2 of the fights with only highlights looked quite dull. A really good episode to start the season with.

TUF Brazil was pretty entertaining.

The fighter I liked most was the guy who came to the octagon as 'Jason'. And then fought like 'Jason' as well when he pretty much came back from the dead.

I remembered that the first fight was good and had a great comeback. Now that you mention it, that was the fight 'Jason' won, pretty cool.

King Mo has tested positive to juice, banned for 9 months and sacked by Zuffa for twitter comments against a commissioner.

Rumour is that Kyle Noke wants to move up to LHW. He asked for a supplement sponsor because he said that it was time to put on some muscle. I thought that he looked ok at 185

Kyle Noke shot that rumour down via twitter. Was it a case of him saying he wants to put on muscle and people assuming that meant a move to LHW?

RT@UFC_Australia@KyleNoke: Looking for a supplement sponsor. Time to put on some muscle!!!” LHW?" lol no maybe WW.

Yeah, I don't want to see JDS vs Mir, Junior will knock him stupid inside two minutes. Cain vs Mir is an interesting fight on the other hand.

****, Overeem has to finally test positive before THIS fight. ****ing hell.

Not sure who will be put in for JDS to destroy. That's how I see it. Mir got wobbled big time by Big Nog, JDS will have him out cold quickly. Was really looking forward to this card and now not as much.

Testosterone level of 14:1 when the legal fighting limit is 6:1 so this appears to bring all the previous rumours to an ugly head. The sport does not need or want drug cheats so lets hope the penalty is significant.

Saw that the legal limit for the NSAC is 6:1 but other Commissions have a 4:1 limit and that the average male has a 1:1 reading.

What makes it even dumber on Overeem's part is that he knew he was going to be randomly drug tested because of the issues before the Lesnar fight.

For those interested, ESPN are showing the most recent Cage Warrior Fighting Championships card (held in Dubai last month) over Easter.

Such disappointing news. Not overly excited about the confirmed Mir fight

https://twitter.com/#!/danawhite/status/188498674404438016

LOL, does any public figure reply to fan tweets more than Dana does?

Don't like UFC? https://twitter.com/#!/danawhite/status/189079289029869568

Think Dana sucks? https://twitter.com/#!/danawhite/status/189480967776382978

He's riled some people with some negative comments about soccer. I watch soccer, always have, always will, but it's a grossly flawed sport played primarily by a bunch of precious soft cocks.

And Dana's confirmed TUF will be Australia v UK.
