Apparently Wanderlei Silva and Michael Bisping had some words at the press conference (video to be provided later today). Looks like this just became a bad blood fight!

Former PRIDE heavyweight champion, Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira talks about his upcoming fight against rising star, Cain Velasquez at UFC 110. He talks about having the experience advantage but shouldn’t put Cain’s skills aside because of it.

The UFC just confirmed five fights for UFC 110, scheduled for February 20th in Sydney Australia.

Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira (32-5-1) will still face Cain Velasquez (7-0) in the main event.

Nogueira is coming off a win over Randy Couture (by decision) at UFC 102. He put on a great performance, especially after his previous fight where he lost to Frank Mir at UFC 92. Velasquez is still undefeated, beating Cheick Kongo at UFC 99 and most recently Ben Rothwell at UFC 104. Velasquez has dominated through the heavyweight division utilizing his wrestling but has yet to face a true jiu jitsu technician like Nogueira. We’ll see just how good Cain’s abilities are at UFC 110.

Wanderlei Silva (32-10-1) will go up against Michael Bisping (19-2) as the co-main event. Silva hasn’t looked great since his knockout of Keith Jardine at UFC 84. Most recently, he beat Rich Franklin by decision at UFC 99, but is was long and drawn out. Bisping, on the other hand, rebounded from being knocked out by Dan Henderson at UFC 100 and put on a dominating performance at UFC 105 by beating Denis Kang. Two notes worth mentioning: this is Wanderlei’s first fight since his facial surgery as well as his first fight at middleweight.

Remaining four fights announces on the card:

Joe Stevenson (36-10) vs George Sotiropoulos (11-2)

Keith Jardine (14-7) vs Ryan Bader (11-0)

Mirko Cro Cop (25-7-2) vs Ben Rothwell (30-7)

Elis Sinosic (8-9-2) vs Chris Haseman (20-16)

Heavyweight contenders Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cheick Kongo will square off Saturday, Dec. 29 at UFC 79 in Las Vegas, Nev. The winner will likely emerge as a frontrunner to become the next challenger to UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture’s throne.

Nogueira (30-4-1, 1-0 UFC), one of the world’s most respected heavyweights, has never been stopped in 35 professional bouts.

Two of his losses came at the hands of PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko; the other two were by split decision to Dan Henderson and Josh Barnett.

The 31-year-old Brazilian defeated Heath Herring by unanimous decision in his promotional debut at UFC 73 in July, though Herring nearly ruined his night with a first-round head kick. Nogueira has won six of his last seven fights.Kongo, meanwhile, will enter the fight on the heels of the most important win of his career, a unanimous decision victory over former PRIDE Open Weight Grand Prix Champion Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic at UFC 75 in September. The French kickboxer is 6-1 over his past seven fights, the lone loss a split decision defeat to Carmelo Marrero at UFC 64 last October.
