MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR MONDAY: SILVA VS. MOUSASI RUMORED

With a cut over Alexander Gustafsson’s forehead setting the main event of this Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 9 event into question, it seems like a veteran fighter is going to step up and fill in the void if Gustafsson’s scheduled struggle against Gegard Mousasi can’t move on. Wanderlei Silva, who defeated Brian Stann via knockout at UFC on FUEL TV 9 final month, tweeted today that the UFC telephoned him about taking the struggle against Mousasi this past weekend, and that he has accepted and will be departing for Sweden early Tuesday morning. TATAME.com confirmed with Silva what he tweeted wasn’t an April Fool’s joke, which he’s already packed his bags for Sweden and will probably be taking Rafael Cordeiro and Fabricio Werdum together with him to be in his corner that weekend. But, according to a tweet from UFC president Dana White, the struggle Gustafsson and Mousasi is still happening, although it’s been reported by numerous Swedish news outlets that the fight is 99 percent going to be cancelled because the cut over Gustafsson’s eyebrow is bad enough that the Swedish MMA Federation has threatened to pull the plug on the struggle. If the Gustafsson vs. Mousasi fight does not occur, then the scheduled co-main occasion is a lightweight battle between Ross Pearson and Ryan Couture which fight definitely isn’t main event caliber. But a struggle between Mousasi and Silva — although not incorporating a Swedish fighter inside — remains an superb bout and the lovers who have paid for their tickets to the event ought to be happy if this is really the switch. In case Mousasi vs. Silva becomes the newest principal event of UFC on FUEL TV 9, anticipate 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 At UFC About FX 8 An accident to CB Dollaway has forced him from his forthcoming UFC on FX 8 fight against TUF Brazil winner Cezar Mutante, also at his place measures Chris Camozzi, who conquered Nick Ring via split decision at UFC 158 only two weeks ago. The battle, which takes place May 18 in Arena Jaragua at Jaragua do Sul, will occur 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 from the UFC middleweight division. The 28-year-old has made continuous improvements to his game since his time on”The Ultimate Fighter” and another win, which would be five row, could push up him the middleweight ranks. Mutante (5-2) won TUF Brazil past June at UFC 147 when he defeated Sergio Moraes. But he’s been out with accidents since. Mutante will be coming off a lengthy layoff going to this bout with Camozzi, who has 30 minutes of cage period since Mutante’s final appearance, which will probably end up being a large drawback. Anticipate this struggle to be rather close from the gambling odds, but it would not be surprising at all to see Camozzi as the preferred for after, even though he’ll be fighting at Mutante’s garden in Brazil and even believed Mutante has much more hype surrounding him.
