FORTALEZA, BRAZIL – After a night full of submissions, Thiago Silva and  Rafael Cavalcante threw caution to the wind and decided to engage in a good ol’ fashioned slugfest. It was a wise move for Silva. The light heavyweights met on the FUEL TV-televised main card of Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. With both fighters in head-hunting mode and launching power shots in their grudge match, Silva (15-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) eventually backed his opponent to the cage and tagged Cavalcante (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a series of straight punches. His fellow Brazilian eventually crumpled to the mat, and Silva finished him off with follow-up shots late in the first round. Check out the highlights above.
