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)

MMAWeekly: Talking about Wanderlei, he is going to face a bigger opponent on May 24 in Keith Jardine, maybe a stronger opponent. How do you see that?

Rafael Alejarra: To be honest, Jardine is taller, but I don’t think he is stronger than Wanderlei. When a fighter is bigger, it doesn’t always mean that he is stronger. Wanderlei has good training partners and some excellent sparring, some of them even taller then Jardine. We have planned well.

Alejarra is a personal strength and conditioning trainer for Wanderlei Silva.

“The UFC has offered Jardine a fight with Wanderlei Silva. Jardine has accepted and now the UFC is awaiting an answer from Silva, who is in Brazil. Expect that fight to happen on the May card in Las Vegas.”
