With a cut above Alexander Gustafsson’s eyebrow putting the major event of this Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 9 occasion into query, it appears as though a veteran fighter will step up and fill the void if Gustafsson’s scheduled fight against Gegard Mousasi can not go on. Wanderlei Silva, that defeated Brian Stann via knockout at UFC on FUEL TV 9 final month, tweeted now the UFC telephoned him about taking the fight against Mousasi this past weekend, which he’s accepted and will be departing for Sweden early Tuesday morning. TATAME.com confirmed with Silva that what he tweeted was not an April Fool’s joke, which he has packed his bags for Sweden and will be carrying Rafael Cordeiro and Fabricio Werdum together with him to maintain his corner that weekend. But, according to a tweet from UFC president Dana White, the struggle Gustafsson and Mousasi is still happening, even though it’s been reported by numerous Swedish news outlets which the fight is 99 percent likely to be cancelled since the cut above Gustafsson’s forehead is poor enough that the Swedish MMA Federation has threatened to pull the plug on the fight. In the event the Gustafsson vs. Mousasi fight doesn’t occur, then the scheduled co-main occasion is a lightweight battle involving Ross Pearson and Ryan Couture which struggle definitely isn’t main event standard. However, a struggle between Mousasi and Silva — although not featuring a Swedish fighter inside — remains an excellent bout and the lovers who have paid for their tickets to the event ought to be happy if that is really the switch. In case Mousasi vs. Silva becomes the new principal event of UFC on FUEL TV 9, expect Mousasi to open as a healthy -250 favorite, together with all the comeback on Silva being in the +200 range. Camozzi Fills In For Dollaway Against Mutante In UFC On FX 8 An accident to CB Dollaway has forced him out of his upcoming UFC on FX 8 struggle against TUF Brazil winner Cezar Mutante, also in his position steps Chris Camozzi, who conquered Nick Ring via split decision at UFC 158 only two weeks ago. The fight, which takes place May 18 at Arena Jaragua in Jaragua do Sul, will take place on the evening’s main card. Camozzi (19-5) has appeared great as of late, picking up four-straight victories over Ring, Luiz Cane, Nick Catone, and Dustin Jacoby to emerge as a darkhorse contender in the UFC middleweight division. The 28-year-old has made constant improvements to his game since his time on”The Ultimate Fighter” and another triumph, which could be five row, would push him way up the middleweight rankings. Mutante (5-2) won TUF Brazil last June at UFC 147 when he conquered Sergio Moraes. However, he has been out with injuries ever since. Mutante will be coming off a lengthy layoff going to this bout with Camozzi, who has 30 minutes of cage period because Mutante’s final look, and that will probably prove to be a big disadvantage. Anticipate this fight to be pretty close from the gambling odds, but it wouldn’t be surprising at all to watch Camozzi as the favorite for once, even though he’ll be fighting at Mutante’s garden in Brazil and even thought Mutante has more hype surrounding him.
