The title challenger has noticed too. Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC), a Division I All-American wrestler who’s undefeated since his move to MMA in 2009, meets Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) in the headliner of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. While Weidman’s a +200 underdog with most sportsbooks, fellow fighters and many industry insiders have predicted he’ll pull off the upset. Doing so against Silva, arguably the greatest fighter in UFC history, is no easy task.

Santos’ semifinal-round fight with Santiago Ponzinibbio was picked as the “Fight of the Season,” and both welterweights picked up $25,000 bonuses because of it. Santos, in fact, actually lost the fight via decision. But when Ponzinibbio wasn’t medically cleared to compete in the final because of a broken hand suffered in the bout, Santos got the fight instead. Then, in the UFC on FUEL TV 10 co-headliner at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, he submitted fellow finalist William Macario to win the “TUF: Brazil 2″ tournament. However, all wasn’t lost for Ponzinibbio. In addition to his “Fight of the Season” bonus, he picked up an additional $25,000 for the “Knockout of the Season” thanks to his elimination-round win over Marcio Santos .
