UFC newcomer Caio Magalhaes in as replacement against Fabio Maldonado at UFC 142
Fabio Maldonado will welcome UFC newcomer Caio Magalhaes next month at UFC 142 in Brazil, the organization announced on Monday morning.
Magalhaes steps in for Stanislav Nedkov, who was scratched from the card reportedly due to visa issues. The 5-0 light heavyweight is a member of the Nova Uniao team with UFC Featherweight Champ Jose Aldo, and enters off a split decision win in his last bout earlier this month.
Maldonado had an 11 fight winning streak snapped in his last fight, a decision against Kyle Kingsbury in June. He's now 1-1 in his UFC career.
UFC 142 takes place from the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro on January 14, headlined by the Featherweight Title bout between Aldo and Chad Mendes.

Tuesday morning knockout: Capoeira kick from Brazil
Our friends at Yahoo! Sports Brazil shared a knockout that will undoubtedly start your day off well, unless your name is Francisco Neves.
Cairo Rocha used this capoeira-inspired kick at the Brazilian Fighting Championships in Sao Paolo on Friday. He has three wins in 2011. All three are first-round stoppages, with two submissions before this knockout.

Spike TV to Air 'The Ultimate Fighter Fridays' During TUF 15 on FX
Filed under: MMA Media Watch, UFC, Bellator, News
Spike TV announced on Tuesday that beginning Friday, March 2, from 9:00 p.m. to midnight ET/PT it will air highlights from the past fourteen seasons of The Ultimate Fighter. "The Ultimate Fighter Fridays," as they are calling it, will be televised at the same time as TUF 15 live on FX, which debuts March 9. The move comes as no surprise as Spike aired UFC programming on its network at the same time as the UFC's debut on FOX and has already announced that it will do the same during the UFC's second show on FOX on Jan. 28.
Interestingly enough, though, Bellator Fighting Championships, which is owned by Spike TV's parent company, Viacom, will debut its sixth season on MTV2 on March 2, as well. However, according to David Schwarz, Spike TV's Vice President of Communications, MTV2 has not decided which time slot it will use to air Bellator events. That could very well be based on the time slot FX uses to air TUF 15 next year.
"We have to monetize the library," Schwarz said when asked about Spike's decision to counter UFC programming on FOX. "The UFC prefers that we keep the library and run the library."
Spike has the right to air old UFC programming for one more year before its contract with the promotion expires. The UFC could buy back the library to prohibit this from happening, but UFC president Dana White has already stated publicly that he is not interested in doing so.
Spike announced recently that Bellator will move to its airwaves come 2013.
