Heads up, Brazil. UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva is reportedly in negotiations with a TV network, potentially Rede TV, to have his own weekly show, according to Graciemag. The program, which would only run up until "The Spider's" scheduled title defense against Yushin Okami at UFC 134: "Rio" on Aug. 27, is apparently a major promotional tool for both Silva and the UFC in advance of the organizations return to Brazil.

When Zuffa sends its stable of stars back to Brazil for UFC: "Rio" in August of 2011, they may use local talent to serve as an Octagon girl for the very first time, according to Sherdog. Company President Dana White was quoted as saying Brazil has "the sexiest women in the world, so of course we're thinking of using someone local." You Maniacs got anyone in mind?
