Anderson "The Spider" Silva Vs. Thales Leites

The main card of the event has an old school Brazilian brawl in the works when UFC middleweight champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva returns to the Octagon on April 18th to defend his crown against the number one contender Thales Leites. The pound for pound king has already defended his title more times than anyone in UFC middleweight history and will battle Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Leites - winner of five in a row.

Also featured in the UFC's return to Canada is the light heavyweight showdown fans have waited for years to see, as UFC legend Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell squares off against Brazilian superstar Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in what promises to be one of the most memorable fights of 2009.
