It appears that the two back-to-back wins has earned Mir another shot at championship glory.

Nogueira (31-4) defeated Tim Sylvia to win the interim heavyweight championship at UFC 81 and is the first man ever to hold Pride FC and UFC belts. He is undefeated inside the Octagon (2-0) and looks forward to winning several new fans while on the show.

TUF 8 is expected to feature light heavyweights and lightweights, breaking from recent tradition of focusing on just one weight class.
