While UFC 148 was a mostly-disappointing event, things wrapped up in a big way when Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva defended his title in a rematch against Chael Sonnen and finished him in the second round. Silva and Sonnen had an awful lot of drama leading up the fight - namely due to Sonnen and his WWE-level hyping. There was still some controversy, but it looks like the whole Silva-Sonnen "saga" is over.
Now we can get back to other things. If you missed it, the Bay Area is playing host to another UFC event on Wednesday, where Mark Munoz will take on Chris Weidman in the main event of UFC on Fuel TV: Munoz vs. Weidman. Munoz is a California fighter, and while he's not strictly in the Bay Area, we'll root for him all the same.
On top of that, San Jose native Chris Cariaso will be looking to win his third-straight fight as he takes on Josh Ferguson, who is on a two-fight losing streak. Cariaso is heavily favored, as he should be. Other California fighters include T.J. Dillashaw and Joey Beltran. Below, we've got the full fight card for the night.
