“I got my mojo back, I’m putting all the 205s and heavyweights on notice. I’m back son, like I crave it now. For a long time I didn’t need to train or didn’t need to win or need to shine. I don’t know what happened, but I got it back. Thank you, Shogun. I’m looking forward to doing that with you again. Everybody thought I was washed up, put back on the shelf and call it a day, but I’m not. I think I’m just now coming full circle into my career. I’m finding out more and more about myself as a fighter and as a person and as someone who loves this sport. Fuck you guys, very much. I’m coming, bitches!”

It was announced today that a welterweight match-up between Erick Silva (14-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and John Hathaway (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) has been made official for the UFC on FUEL TV 10 event, which will also serve as the finale for the second season of the “Ultimate Fighter: Brazil”. Erick Silva, who was recently forced to pull out of a UFC 156 bout with Jay Hieron due to an injury, will be looking to rebound from a loss he suffered to Jon Fitch this past October. The UFC 153 contest with Fitch may have earned Silva “Fight of the night” honors, but the decision ultimately sent him down the welterweight rankings. Silva will be looking to return to the form that saw him score first-round stoppages over Luis Ramos and Charlie Brenneman.
