The co-main event features UFC interim heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira defending his belt against challenger and fellow Ultimate Fighter Season 8 coach Frank Mir. The winner will go on to face current heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar in 2009 for a unification of the two titles.
Wanderlei Silva and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson - following a shoving match at the weigh-ins - will meet on Saturday night for the third time in their careers. Silva won the first two match-ups decisively, both taking place in a ring under Pride rules. UFC 92 marks the first time they meet in the Octagon.
(Note: There was an error during the UFC's live stream of the weigh-ins on Friday - provided to both UFC.com and MMAWeekly.com - which cut off the earlier portion of the weigh-ins during the live streaming.)
