"Fabio Maldonado replaces injured Junior dos Santos, faces Stipe Miocic at TUF Brazil 3 Finale: http://t.co/AL6ZGpZHCQ"
Interdasting
I foresee him being hit in the head a lot.
YES!!!
Uh...oh.
Stipe's chin is pretty damn suspect. If zombie Maldonado can land late in the fight, Miocic is going down.
Weak card now. No must see fight anymore
Fabio confirms himself as a modern day legendry fan favourite, up there with the likes of Leben, Lytle, Cerrone, Goodridge etc

Will be a fun fight, but yeah its sorely lacking in names, I wont stay up to watch this.
So the dude with the reputation of being the UFC's human punching bag is moving up to fight a heavyweight who just took out Roy Nelson and Gonzaga. They must love watching this dude get hit
Really???
Lose lose for both men, unless fabio wants to be a heavyweight now
hope Fabio gets the upset but thats a weird match up. if only Bigfoot didn't get caught.
In his last fight Gian Villante won the first vs Fabio and then gassed so damn hard Fabio didn't have a reason not to murder him, but still only took a UD. He's a cool dude but he has absolutely no business fighting the guys he's fighting
MMAtador - Awesome fight, Stipe by total destruction.Sadly this, Stipe is gonna walk through him :(
The only way this fight will be interesting is if Fabio gets the upset.
man meets fate - Really???Fabio probably gets the best financial remuneration of his career for jumping to HW to save a main event in his home country.

You are right, lose/lose for stipe now
Wait doesn't he fight at middleweight? Lol this is excellent
Brigham - Wait doesn't he fight at middleweight? Lol this is excellentFabio fears no man!
man meets fate - Really???Not really lose/lose for Fabio. If he loses, it's expected but he gets kudos for saving the main event in his hometown. If he wins, he just knocked off a potential title challenger in a higher weight class on short notice

Damn..I'm stoked Stipe got a new opponent, he is a great guy and easily my favorite male fighter in the UFC.
But why the gotta match him up with my favorite LHW?
Should be a fun fight on the feet for a while, before Stipe either drops him, or lands a takedown and finishes with GnP

I don't think Fabio is hard up for a payday, and if he's looking for a slugfest, he's looking in the wrong place. Stipe fights smart. He'll stand only as long as he needs to, then takedown, smash, and repeat if necessary.
