Heavyweights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and the newly-signed Brock Lesnar were showed in the crowd during the event, with Lesnar being interviewed by Joe Rogan, talking a little trash

Also during the show, recently-signed light heavyweight Wanderlei Silva was shown on camera and in a pre-show video in the arena. His first fight since signing has yet to be announced.
