In the Cage – Silva Fined, Corassani/McGregor, UFC on FS1 News Dale De Souza May 6, 2013 News Each day, The MMA Corner will provide a recap of results, event announcements, fight match-ups, and injuries/cancellations from throughout the world of MMA. Silva fined $50,000 for no-showing media event UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva received a fine of $50,000 from the UFC for refusing to participate in a planned UFC 162 pre-fight press conference. While still slated to defend his belt against Chris Weidman, this marks another high-profile instance of a fighter no-showing a pre-fight presser. Though it differs from Nick Diaz no-showing two pre-fight pressers prior to UFC 137, UFC officials did still issue disciplinary action.

If confirmed, the event would take place on September 4 as a possible lead-in for The Ultimate Fighter 18. With Brazilian Independece Day falling on Sept. 7, the UFC would no doubt seize the chance to host a show on this week, if at all possible.

Artenas Young Age: 32 Record: 9-5 Houston Source: MMA Fighting Perosh wants Magalhaes at UFC 163 Vinny Magalhaes didn’t sign on the dotted line for it, nor did Anthony Perosh, but “The Hippo” wants Magalhaes at UFC 163. After a brutal KO loss to Ryan Jimmo at UFC 149 and a gruesome toe injury that kept him out of UFC on FX 6, Perosh appears ready to return to fighting form. If the bout with Magalhaes gets signed, though, Magalhaes will come out looking to erase the sting of his UFC 159 loss to Phil Davis, so Perosh will find himself in a tough battle with a game opponent.
