SILVA/BELFORT MAIN EVENT RUMORED FOR UFC 197
It’s been the discussion at office water heaters for months now that the primary occasion for March’s UFC 197 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil could be a rematch between Brazilian middleweights Anderson”The Spider” Silva and”The Phenom” Vitor Belfort. Their very first bout took place at UFC 126 nearly five decades ago, in which Silva succesfully defended his UFC middleweight title with a front-kick knockout of Belfort, ultimately recording arguably the most used highlight in UFC history. The news of the rematch gets fight fans giddy with excitement. So much so that it becomes simple to block their recent legal issues. Silva last saw activity 10 months ago, where he defeated Nick Diaz via unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards. The consequence of the five round main event bout was later turned into a No Contest, when the former UFC middleweight champion tested positive for getting drostanolone and androsterone in his or her system. Having served his suspension,”The Spider” is prepared to make his return to the Octagon and saying is he’s found himself a fight. This rematch will come after a rubbermatch for Belfort, who’s coming from a first round knockout of Dan Henderson, which took place only weeks back at UFC Fight Night 77 at Brazil. This had been an impressive way for”The Phenom” to return to the win column following a failed bid in present winner Chris Weidman and his golden, and also another impressive victory over”The Spider” in this rematch, he could certainly make a case for a rematch with the winner of UFC 194′s Weidman vs Rockhold. The rumored UFC 197 major event is widely talked about, mostly in part due to UFC President Dana White admitting that Silva vs Belfort II is indeed the next fight he wants to book to both veteran 185-pounders. The evening’s co-headliner was supposed to be a middleweight match-up involving Lyoto Machida and Michael Bisping, but that has been proven to not be the situation when the Michael Bisping vs Gegard Mousasi match-up was declared earlier this week. Both will go to war in the principal event for February’s UFC Fight Night 83 at Bisping’s garden of London. Brazilian fighters who are not currently booked for fights we could see about the UFC 197 battle card are Thomas de Almeida, Glover Teixeira, Iuri Alcantara, Thales Leites, Rani Yahya, Alan Patrick, Kevin Souza, Leandro Silva, Hacran Dias, John Lineker, Valmir Lazaro, Michel Prazeres, Erick Silva, Bigfoot Silva, Thiago Tavares, Godofredo Pepey, Roan Carneiro, Pedro Munhoz and Thiago Alves.
