Description

White threatened to cut Silva from the UFC if he fought the same way he did in his previous bout in Abu Dhabi at UFC 112. "I'm telling you right now, if he acts like that again in the ring, I will cut him," said White. "I don't care if he's the pound for pound best fighter in the world. I don't care if he's the middleweight champion."
A bout between Joey Beltran and Matt Mitrione was reported to be in the works. The fight was later moved to UFC 119.
Stanislav Nedkov was scheduled to make his UFC debut against Rodney Wallace, but was replaced by Phil Davis after sustaining an injury.
Thiago Silva was scheduled to face Tim Boetsch, but was pulled from the card with an aggravated back injury. Silva's replacement was Todd Brown.
Dana White confirmed that the winner of the Fitch/Alves fight would receive title shot.
The Fitch/Alves fight was changed to catchweight status after Alves weighed in at 171.5 lbs; 0.5 lbs over the 171 lbs welterweight limit for non title fights. Alves was fined 20% of his purse.
