The Road Back Starts in Abu Dhabi (UFC Fight Night 39 Review)
The UFC is loaded with fighters that have seen success only to watch it fall away with a single fight. That is just the fight game as it is rarely about what a fighter has done in the past and rather about their last fight. Fighters can spend long careers building up impressive winning streaks only to lose the fight that would give them a championship fight. Some fighters take a long time to get that championship fight and many times their entire careers are spent trying to build up to a title fight only to come up just short of earning the fight.

UFC 153 Preview
The UFC has been a promotion that prides itself on creating great matchups and more often than not they do exactly that. The matchmaker Joe Silva has regularly been a big reason to why the UFC has been so popular. Silva creates dream matchups that are the lifeblood of the UFC and of MMA in general. There are the home run matchups like the Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz fights but this is not what has made Silva so good.

This changed MMA forever and began the seedling of what the UFC would build on. Now with the UFC being the fastest growing sport in the world they will go back to Brazil with a card full of the best fighters in the world that also happen to be Brazilian
