Before he fights Demian Maia in the main event at UFC Fight Night 29, Jake Shields took a tour of the country that fathered the gentle art.

Shields, a black-belt under Cesar Gracie, is known for his outstanding grappling in the octagon. He’ll need to put that to good use when he squares off against Maia, another outstanding black-belt. Check out the video above and the full fight card below.

Not only is he quick in the octagon, but UFC welterweight Erick Silva shows he’s quick behind the wheel.

Silva took some time out of his schedule to enjoy some time racing a red Ferrari around the track at Exotic Racing in Las Vegas, and his heart rate was beating with 500 horsepower.

“My heart was accelerating together with the car,” Silva said. “It was great, I enjoyed it a lot.”

But don’t expect Silva to become a professional race-car driver any time soon; he’s got business in the cage first. On Oct. 9, Silva fights Dong Hyun Kim in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night 29 in Sao Paolo. The fight is considered a pivotal welterweight match-up.
