FORTALEZA, Brazil – Former Strikeforce champ Rafael Cavalcante is ready to fulfill a dream on Saturday night when he makes his UFC debut. And while opponent Thiago Silva (14-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) seems to be treating the bout as a grudge match, Cavalcante (11-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) said he can’t be bothered to really care. “I don’t even listen to him,” Cavalcante told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I don’t even know what he was talking about. But I don’t care about that. All that matters is Saturday. That’s when we’ll see what happens.” “Feijao” and Silva meet on the FUEL TV-broadcast main card of Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event, which takes place at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Brazil. Ahead of the fight, Silva said Cavalcante has been acting like “a Hollywood celebrity” and suggested he couldn’t wait to “slap ‘Feijao’ around.” Cavalcante said he has no idea Silva is talking about
