He's fighting Thiago Silva at UFC 84.
I haven't seen him fight, but his most recent fight was against Fedor's protoge Kiril, and he beat him by TKO.
I haven't been very impressed by Thiago so far, so I'm Interested in seeing how this turns out.
He was supposed to be signed to M-1 Global.
Samuray's a good all-round fighter. Originally from Thai he has shown solid ground skills, especially in the KSW 7 tournament.
His fight with Sidelnikov was a stand up war, it was very close until he opened up a cut that forced the TKO.

M-1 Global Never Die.
Solid fighter, has had a good run in Europe, no real "big name" wins though. From what I've seen he gasses alot though. I'll take Silva in this one.
silva + training w/ ATT = a bad night for mendes.
