The 13-bout lineup for “UFC on FUEL TV: Nogueira vs. Werdum” has been finalized … sort of. Every scrap in the June 8 event has been confirmed, except for the two middleweights competing in the finals of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2.”
A little known 185-pounder will secure his short-term future by winning a six-figure UFC contract by taking the tournament.
Opposing TUF Brazil coaches Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (pictured) and Fabricio Werdum headline the show.
The UFC’s Facebook page streams the preliminary card live at approximately 4:30PM ET/1:30PM PT. FUEL TV broadcasts the main bouts immediately after beginning at 8PM ET/5PM PT.
