We'll be bringing you the UFC on Fuel 8: Silva vs. Stann Recap tonight at 10 PM Eastern, 9 Central. When the recap begins you can hit F5 or refresh as often as you like for updates. Be sure to check out our Silva vs. Stann Preview w/ Mike Hackler of AsianMMA.com and our UFC on Fuel Weigh-In Recap before this show begins!

7:50 PM ET. For anybody who checks this recap early I'll provide some abbreviated thoughts on the Facebook fights.

Marcelo Guimaraes vs. Hyun Gyu Lim at welterweight. Lim is working leg kicks to open both R1 and R2. Guimaraes got a big takedown late in the first but nearly ate a knee to the chin in the process. Anik and Florian are on commentary. Anik says it's early in the morning in Japan. LIM FINALLY LANDS THAT KNEE LATE IN R2 AND LAYS GUIMARAES OUT COLD. The official time is 4 MINUTES EVEN IN R2 FOR 'ACE' LIM. That left knee was well timed and he threw a single right hand on the ground before the ref ran in.

Alex Caceres vs. Kyung Ho Kang at bantamweight. 3 takedowns by Kang. 2 sweeps to get back up by Caceres. Cacares found most of his offense nullified but he did land one good double-kick. Kang landed a strong right hand near the end of R1 that backed Caceres up so Kang seems like he's up 10-9 by a narrow margin. R2 went better for Bruce Leeroy. Kang kept taking him down but Caceres' sweeps put him in dominant spots where he landed some ground and pound. R3 was the best of the night for Leeroy - he went for several submissions and hurt Kang on the ground - even blocking a gassed Kang to get a full mount late. Kang kicked him off but Caceres kept up G'n'P until the end. Bruce Buffer says 29-28 KANG, 29-28 CACERES, 29-28 FOR ALEX CACERES BY SPLIT DECISION.

Cristiano Marcello vs. Kazuki Tokudome at lightweight. R1 showed us Tokudome has a good chin, because he ate some shots that would have put other men away, then managed to hold Marcello down on the ground for the latter half. The early hard striking may have scored more though, and if it wasn't for a slip by Marcello to let him on top, Tokudome could have been in big trouble. Tokudome has a takedown less than 30 seconds into R2 but Marcello seems fine with working BJJ on the bottom although his face is being marred by left hands. Thomas Fan gives Marcello a big break by standing them up at 1:43 enabling Marcello to get a takedown. Tokudome escapes with under a minute left. Slugfest to end R2. Tokudome is building momentum and Marcello looks tired. Tokudome drops Marcello in the first 0:30 of R3 but Marcello recovers and ties him up on the ground. 2 minutes in they're on their feet. Tokudome gets another bodylock with a minute left and Marcello is breathing hard out of his mouth - his nose is a mess. Tokudome tries like hell to finish in the last 20 seconds but Marcello survives. Bruce Buffer says 30-27 UNANIMOUS FOR TOKUDOME.

Takeya Mizugaki vs. Bryan Caraway at bantamweight. Really back and forth first round. Both landing solid strikes. Caraway got one short takedown and Mizugaki stuffed one late takedown. Close fight so far. Caraway got a knockdown in the second half of R2 and immediately went for a guillotine, then tried for a rear naked, then kept Mizugaki grounded for the rest of the round. Caraway's clearest 10-9 though his corner thinks it's 20-18 overall. They also think Mizugaki should have been docked a point for holding the fence. Mizugaki knocks him down a minute into the third though so this is anybody's game. Mizugaki keeps scoring with the left hook and blocks a takedown with 2 minutes left, landing knees to boot. Caraway goes for a single in the last minute and clocks Mizugaki with several rights when he breaks free. Mizugaki lands another big left. This one can go either way. Bruce Buffer says... 29-28 CARAWAY, 29-28 MIZUGAKI AND 29-28 SPLIT DECISION FOR MIZUGAKI. Mizugaki is so happy he's openly weeping during the interview - the crowd is eating it up.

Riki Fukuda vs. Brad Tavares at middleweight to end the Facebook prelims. Tavares outstrikes Fukuda for most of R1, gaining more confidence as the round grows long, leaving Fukuda's nose a cherry red by the end. Both kicks and hands are finding their range. "Almost landing everything he's throwing" says Florian of Tavares in R2 - he even hits a glancing blow with a spinning back kick. His right hand is awesome, his jab is effective. Fukuda's left hand may be injured and his whole face is bright red. Tavares has a cut over his left brow but he's way ahead on strikes. He's all but in cruise control heading into R3. Fukuda gives it everything he has in the first 2 minutes of the last stanza but then he seems to run out of gas and Tavares takes over again. Bruce Buffer says... 29-28, 29-28 AND 30-27 ALL FOR BRAD TAVARES and that's it for our Facebook prelims! Main card in just over 5 minutes.

10 PM ET. We are LIVE on Fuel! Pre-fight video package airing now with Silva talking about how loved he is in Japan, and Stann calling it the high point of his career and how he's looking for a highlight reel finish. Jon Anik calls this "our deepest card ever on Fuel" and while that's debatable you can't blame the man for using hyperbole. Break for commercial before Anik breaks down the Rules of the Octagon at 10:08.

* Dong Hyun Kim vs. Siyar Bahadurzada (Welterweight Bout)

Kim has both a height and reach advantage on the Tale of the Tape. KONICHIWA JAPAN says Bruce Buffer to kick off the TV broadcast from the Saitama Super Arena. Siyar is in the red and white trunks, 21-4-1, 5'11", 171 pounds, fighting out of Delray Beach, Florida by way of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Kim is 16-2-1, NC, 6'2", 171 pounds, fighting out of Busan, South Korea in the black trunks. Our referee is Herb Dean. Here we go!

No glove touch to start this fight. Kim lands the first big kick. Siyar tries to catch Kim with a right as he goes in for the clinch. Kim must have caught part of it with his face because he has a small welt over his right eye. Siyar keeps letting Kim come forward so he can counter with a right. Kim lands a kick, Siyar trips him to the ground, and he gets back up. The swelling on Kim's face is clearly visible. Siyar stuffs a takedown. 2:10 elapsed so far. Kim lands a left hand, closes the distance and has a takedown at 2:27. He gets to the full mount 12 seconds later. Siyar is doing all he can to hold Kim down, and even though Kim is landing left hands there's not much mustard on them and Dean calls for more work. Kim is throwing elbows as Dean calls for more work a second time, which makes it a little more absurd than the first time. Hard left elbow lands on Siyar's face with 55 seconds left. He gets back to his feet at 4:18 and Kim is riding on his back as he does. It's a beautiful body lock but a bad position to go for a submission. The best part is it could wear Siyar down, who drops to the ground with his weight before R1 ends. 10-9 Kim.

Nobody worked on that welt over Kim's left eye between rounds - that's a curious decision. It only seems to have grown more in the minute elapsed. Siyar lands a big right at 47 seconds then stuffs with a sprawl. Another nice right lands at 1:01 but Kim gets his next takedown attempt and he's immediately in side control. He's trying to sneak a knee across for full mount and all Siyar can do is defend. He tries to roll out at 2:35 but Kim just transitions to his back. Siyar tries to hang onto the wrist but can't and Kim takes the full mount. 90 seconds left as Kim keeps throwing rights and left elbows, even as Dean calls for "work" again. Isn't he working? What's his definition of "work" anyway? Dean has been getting on my nerves lately and he used to be one of my favorites in officiating. Well he probably still is in my top five regardless but Kim is drilling Siyar with elbows in the last minute and even doing double hammerfists. That's "working" to me. Another dominant round for the Donger in R2.

Siyar is swinging wildly but it doesn't stop him being taken down to side control again 23 seconds into this third and final stanza. Crucifix attempt to a full mount 54 seconds in. He keeps moving up for a head & arm choke and he may get it. He's throwing knees to the body even as he goes for it - very slick. He's constantly turning to the left trying to put the pressure on. Lefts to the body as he tries to soften Siyar up. Back to the full mount at 2:27 even as he still has Siyar's head trapped. Japanese crowds rarely boo but at 3:08 they want more action so Kim responds with a flurry of elbows and some Mongolian chops. He's posturing up from the full mount and GOING GORILLA ON SIYAR. The crowd reacts to it and he nods his head like he's having fun, then does some more. 50 seconds left. He's actually rallying the crowd and calling out his moves to them. Siyar escapes for a split second and Kim gets right back on top in side control then spins around the body with 15 seconds left. Siyar throws upperkicks as Kim backs away but they don't help and R3 ends.

30-27 ON ALL THREE CARDS FOR 'STUN GUN' KIM. No shock there. Commercial.

* Mizuto Hirota vs. Rani Yahya (Featherweight Bout)

Hirota is taller but gives up one inch in reach 67 to 68 on Tale of the Tape. Black trunks for Yahya, 17-7, 5'6.5" and 146 pounds from Brasilia, Brazil. White trunks for Hirota, 14-5-1, 5'8", 146 pounds, Nagasaki, Japan. Our referee is Marc Goddard. Here we go!

Yahya is feinting for the first 25 seconds until he throws an overhand right, then singles Hirota to the ground ten seconds later. Hirota gets back up, Yahya tries to take the back, nearly gets an arm submission and Hirota slips out and is on top 70 seconds in. Yahya is more than happy to work off his back and goes for a leg lock, and even though Hirota gets out he gives up a sweep in the process. Yahya throws short lefts to the head, then some right elbows as he postures up a little. He'd certainly love to get out of half guard. Marc Goddard calls for improvement, Hirota gets up, but Yahya singles him back down and throws lefts and rights 'til Hirota ties him up in closed guard. 3:30 gone. Yahya is trying like hell to pull his right leg out. He'd be in side control if it wasn't. Yahya has the shoulder locked and he's past the guard, gives up the kimura and takes the back. He's only got 10 seconds though so he can't get the RNC before the horn.

R2 underway at 10:51 ET. Hirota tries to press Yahya in the fence and throw elbows but Yahya drops levels and gets a takedown 40 seconds in. Hirota is trying to use a butterfly guard to shake him off but it's not working. Yahya pins him up against the fence and he's looking for an arm triangle. 1:45 gone and this is pretty deep. Florian thinks this will be over at any second. He actually pulls Hirota away from the fence a little to get it tighter, but then gives it up instead of gassing himself out. 3 minutes gone. Yahya has him on the fence again and is throwing rights into his face at 3:50. Hirota is breathing deep. Goddard tells him to "stay working" even as he's getting off hammerfists with his left. The men are so close to the commentary position you can hear Hirota drawing deep breaths. R2 comes to a close.

Third round is underway at 10:57 ET. Hirota finally stuffs a takedown at 0:24. And again at 0:48. He sprawls looking to block a single leg as we pass one minute. This isn't over yet. Hirota slips out of a single at 1:27. Yahya shoots for the single again and he's finally got one at 1:40. Hirota transitions and goes for both a triangle and an armbar but the 3 time world jiu-jitsu champion slips out of both and takes Hirota's back. With 2 minutes remaining he's thinking about a rear naked choke but Hirota is turning his back to the cage to get out of it and possibly get to his feet. Yahya may let him to go for a guillotine - and he does - but Hirota doubles him to the ground. Yahya may just be content to work off his back feeling he's already up 2 rounds. Yahya gets up looking tired, HIROTA CHARGES WITH A FLYING KNEE BUT HITS THE FENCE AS YAHYA DODGES AT THE LAST SECOND. Yahya misses with a spinning backfist then gets on his bicycle for the last 15 seconds to survive.

UNANIMOUS DECISION FOR RANI YAHYA 29-28 X3. No post-fight interview.

* Yushin Okami #4 vs. Hector Lombard #8 (Middleweight Bout)

Okami has the height and reach advantage on Tale of the Tape. Lombard is in black trunks, 32-3-1, 1 NC, 5'9", 186 pounds, fighting out of Coconut Creek by way of Cuba. Okami is in the red trunks, 29-7, 6'2.5", 185 pounds, fighting out of Kanagawa, Japan.Our referee in charge is Herb Dean. Here we go!

Lombard is definitely swinging hard and swinging early. Okami is circling to his left looking to avoid it. Lombard throws a kick and Okami singles him to the ground in the first minute, but Lombard is back up at 1:07. He eats a knee in clinch, Okami tries a leg trip, but Lombard is able to make him back up with his punches. Body kick and a nice jab by Okami. 2 minutes gone. Lombard keeps throwing rights and follows up with a left. Boy Lombard just missed with a big uppercut. Okami dumps Lombard on the ground at 2:39. Okami is in half guard with 100 seconds left looking to pass and throwing rights from half guard. Lombard is trying to muscle up and get to his feet and he does with 68 seconds to go. Okami immediately puts him on the fence. He uses knees and a little dirty boxing to make Lombard feel the hurt. The round ends with them grappling on the fence.

R2 is underway at 11:23. Okami has a knee straight up and down the middle in the first minute but it must have only grazed Lombard. Okami is testing Lombard's chin with his hands too. He's doing a good job of keeping Lombard at range and working the jab. This is not a good way for Lombard to win the fight - he may need to sell out and rush Okami hoping to land something because at the moment he's getting outpointed. 2:15 gone. Okami takes him down again at 2:40. Lombard is trying to throw off his back but we know how hard it is to get any power from there, and Okami is just smothering him too. He's also landing good shots to the head any time he can pull his arms free. 1:05 left. FULL MOUNT BY OKAMI AT 4:10. Lombard holds him down to avoid G'n'P until the horn.

Lombard is in a hurry at the start of the third and a couple of the right hands find a home and he may have hurt Okami. He didn't knock Okami down though. 50 seconds gone as Lombard lands a left and Okami answers with a knee. Okami sells out for a takedown and winds up on his back with Lombard in half guard. If 'Thunder' can sweep from down under he's gonna be able to steal the round back - and at two minutes gone that's what he's trying to do. Lombard throws hammers as Okami tries to turn him for a single leg. Instead of letting him up Lombard lets Okami go to his back and he jumps into full guard. Florian immediately calls that a mistake. Lombard backs off to try and let Okami up, he goes for a takedown first, then gets up at 3:15. They break apart with 90 seconds remaining. Okami lets him into his guard again. Florian is again amazed thinking Lombard is not aware he's behind in the fight - but his urgency in the first 30 of this round suggest he was. 30 left now. Okami plays it safe and keeps him tied up in guard to the horn.

29-28 LOMBARD 29-28 OKAMI 29-28 FOR YUSHIN 'THUNDER' OKAMI BY SD. Via translator: "After the match last year I wanted to show my fans how I can win and I'm sorry about that last fight." Good showing by Okami - he played the game like he's supposed to and won the way he always wins - outworking his foe.

* Diego Sanchez vs. Takanori Gomi (Lightweight Bout - For Gomi)

Sanchez has the height, reach and (obviously) weight advantage. He's 25-5, 5'10", 158 pounds, and fighting out of Albuquerque, New Mexico in the blue trunks. 'Fireball Kid' Gomi is in the white and red trunks, 34-8, 1 NC, 5'8", 156 pounds, fighting out of Tokyo. Our referee in charge of this bout is Marc Goddard. Here we go!

Gomi takes the center and Sanchez circles him. Nice leg kick by Sanchez. Sanchez feints a knee and eats a right hand. Sanchez backs off and is on the fence of his own accord for a second before returning to center. GROIN KICK. Gomi shakes it off but gets taken down by Sanchez when Goddard allows it to continue - he pops right back up at the 2 minute mark. Loud chants of GO-MI for the former PRIDE champ. Gomi's left jab is hitting the face of his foe. Nice body shot by Gomi too. Sanchez keeps on backing up. It looks like he's got a split right in the middle of his forehead. He takes Gomi down while he's throwing a knee, goes for a knee bar, but Gomi slips out and jumps back up. 1 minute left in R1. Gomi lands a hard body shot. Body kick too. Florian says it hurt him badly. Sanchez and Gomi trade clashing kicks. Sanchez catches a kick and tries to put Gomi down but he's already out the back right at the sound of the horn.

Gomi is using the body shots again early in R2. Sanchez continues to circle on the outside. Gomi is closing the distance more now and blocks a takedown. 1 minute. Repeated jabs by Gomi and another body shot. Sanchez tries to back him up with a high kick. Goddard stops the fight and warns Sanchez about kicks to the groin - saying he'll take a point next time. Gomi is landing left and right hooks now. He seems to be a half second faster getting in and out on Sanchez each time. 2:30. Sanchez lands his best punch of the round at 3:05 but he's getting outpointed and now Gomi is kicking his lead leg too. At this point Sanchez' best weapon is to get away from Gomi. He shoots after Gomi lands a big right hand but can't get it. 40 seconds. Body kick by Gomi. Leg kick. Another. Gomi with a flurry with 13 seconds left. Sanchez tries a jumping knee Gomi easily avoids. R2 is over. 10-9 Gomi again.

Gomi is rallying the crowd as R3 starts at midnight ET. Sanchez runs forward but does nothing when he gets there. He's circling to his right but Gomi is still tagging him. Some of my fellow tweeters seem to think this is 19-all - I suppose you could argue Sanchez won with takedowns in R1 but I wouldn't. If you just look at their faces in HD you can tell who has landed more strikes and better ones - that's the Fireball Kid. 3 minutes gone. Gomi stuffs a takedown at 3:12. Gomi nearly dumps him to the ground at 3:30. Another nice body shot by Gomi. Strong left hook. Sanchez looks to his corner after eating it. He rushes Gomi with 45 seconds left and is easily shaken off. Gomi nearly cleans his clock with a right. Clashing kicks at 20 seconds. Sanchez rushes forward and Gomi ducks most of the shots. Horn sounds and the two men exchange respect.

12:07 PM ET. We're back for the official decision. Thanks to @HeidiFang on the RT: "If that's not 29-28 Gomi, I'll lick Rashad's shoe too." Bruce Buffer - 29-28 SANCHEZ, 29-28 GOMI, AND 29-28 FOR THE SPLIT DECISION TO DIEGO SANCHEZ?! Guess I get to eat some shoe if I ever see Evans.

* Stefan Struve #9 vs. Mark Hunt (Heavyweight Bout)

Struve has the height and reach advantage - Hunt has the weight advantage. Struve is 29-5, 6'11.5", 260 pounds, fighting out of Beverwijk, The Netherlands in the blue trunks. Hunt is 8-7, 266 pounds, 5'10", fighting out of Sydney, Australia in the red trunks. Our referee in charge of this bout is Herb Dean. Here we go!

Nothing big happens in the first 30 seconds as the fighters feel each other out. Hunt does put a left on his chin about 75 seconds in. Struve has some bruises on his chest and back but I have to think they are from sparring. Struve lets Hunt push him to the ground and I'm sure that's exactly where he wants to be - he all but pulled guard. He's looking for an arm triangle or a kimura and Struve sweeps butterfly to mount at 2:13. Hunt gets him back to half but Struve is hunting for the sub. Full mount at 3 minutes, postures up for some ground and pound, goes for the armbar but Hunt is out with 87 seconds left. Hunt finally gets up enough for a left to the chin. Struve starts throwing his legs up looking for a triangle. Struve sits up at 25 seconds but Hunt manages to get side control instead of getting swept. He lays on top until the horn.

Struve eats a left hook early in R2 but his chin seems to be holding up nicely. Struve answers with some jabs to the face. Glancing left by Hunt. Body shot by Hunt. 1 minute gone. Hunt keeps throwing hooks but Struve is doing a good job of covering up when he throws it. 1:45. Struve with a nice right. Body shot by Hunt. Hunt throws Struve to the ground at 2:20. Hunt NEARLY gets leg locked. He avoids giving up his back and gets back into guard but if I was him I'd get up and get away from the BJJ. 3:45. Struve gets up and takes Hunt down right into full mount with 63 seconds left and he is DROPPING BOMBS. Hunt avoids the armbar and lets Hunt back on top. 15 seconds. Hunt eats some elbows to the crown before the end of the round.

Our third round is underway at 12:32 ET. HUGE LEFT HOOK BY HUNT about 20 seconds in. Struve eats it though. Kick to the head by Struve at 1:07. Both men seem to be gassing. Hunt seems to be backing away. Now Struve is backing away. Both men seem a wlittle wobbly. HERB DEAN STEPS IN AND STOPS IT AFTER ONE MORE LEFT HOOK BY HUNT.

MARK HUNT WINS BY TKO AT 1:44 OF R3 ACCORDING TO BRUCE BUFFER. Anik: "You seemed more than willing to go to the ground with him." Hunt: "Yeah." The crowd laughs at his one word response. He thanks his family and says "I love you sweetheart" to his wife. A man of few words, but after that win, he doesn't need many.

* Wanderlei Silva vs. Brian Stann (Light Heavyweight Main Event)

Stann has the height and reach advantage on the Tale of the Tape at 12:50 ET. 12-5, 6'1", 206 pounds, Scranton, Pennsylvania is Stann in the blue trunks. 34-12-1, 1 NC, 5'11", 204 pounds, fighting out of Las Vegas in the black trunks by way of Curitiba, Brazil is 'The Axe Murderer' Silva. Our referee in charge is Marc Goddard. Here we go!

Our main event is underway at 12:53 with a touch of the gloves. Silva immediately settles in to circling on the outside, moving mostly to his right and camera left. Stann rushes forward then slips. Silva tries to take advantage but Stann knocks him down. Silva tries to tie him up and recover. 1 minute gone. Stann has a cut on his nose. Silva backs off and resets. 1:20. Silva eats a shot, smiles, nods his head and tells Stann to bring it. They swing wildly and Silva drops to his knees AGAIN. Two minutes gone. Stann closes the distance and lands a right hook. Stann charges forward but Goddard breaks it apart when Silva takes an errant shot to the groin. We resume with half of R1 left after Silva spent a lot of time handling his junk. Silva is loading up a right hand and looking to land it. 3 minutes gone. Stann and Silva both seem more cautious now. Stann is using kicks to Silva's lead left leg. 4 minutes. Stann causes Silva to stumble again, Silva lands a counter shot that momentarily hurts Stann, but Stann HURTS HIM MORE and is on top. Stann has a huge amount of blood smearing all over Silva's chest but he's on top. We can't even see his head to see where it's coming from. Silva survives a WILD R1.

The cut was on the bridge of Stann's nose. R2 is underway at 1 AM ET! We could have up to 20 more minutes of this not counting 1 minute betweens. Stann's cut starts bleeding again before he even gets hit. He's pushing toward Silva. 1 minute. Kick by Stann and body shot by Silva at the same time. These guys have probably earned the FOTN bonus already. 2 minutes gone. We get another groin kick and Goddard gives him a MILD warning, telling him to think about his technique and be more careful, but not telling him he'll take a point if he does it again. 2:48 left as the clock comes back on screen. Silva backs Stann up with a right. Big right by Stann too. Left head high kick by Silva lands. Leg kick by Stann. 1:40 remains. Stann's got more bounce to his step between the two. SILVA KNOCKS STANN DOWN WITH A LEFT AND THIS FIGHT IS OVER.

4:08 OF R2 FOR THE WINNER BY KO - 'THE AXE MURDERER' WANDERLEI SILVA. Silva: "I'm so proud. Thanks Dana White. Thanks UFC for giving me this wonderful opportunity to fight here, for my brothers in Japan, thank you so much! I'm so happy the gameplan worked, I'm so happy I won here in my home Japan." The translator is using ARIGATO a lot to explain his interview. Anik talks to Stann: "I knew what I had to risk when I signed on the dotted line next to that man. Wanderlei's been one of my favorite fighters ever, he inspired me to be in this sport, my heart hurts right now but I'm still proud I put my name on the line to fight him." Anik calls him a great ambassador. That'll do it for UFC!
