-UFC also issued a press release on Monday to announce that the company website will air a live press conference from Brazil featuring Dana White, Anderson Silva, and Chael Sonnen. The press conference will air live on the UFC website at 9:00 a.m. CT on Tuesday.

Powell's POV: Velasquez was originally scheduled to face Frank Mir with the winner getting a shot at the UFC Hvt. Championship. However, Mir was given a shot against UFC Champion Junior dos Santos on this show due to the suspension of Alistair Overeem, who had been scheduled to face dos Santos. As for the press conference, Sonnen is one of the most entertaining talkers in any sport, and one can only assume he'll be heeling it up in Brazil.
