By Steve Cofield Fedor is a total throwback: Make sure you listen to the end when Shamrock suggests that the best fighter on the card is actually Gegard Mousasi. Mousasi, 24, will face Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. Shamrock said if Mousasi ever faces Anderson Silva he'd beat him every time.

By Darren Wong Either way, Lyoto Machida is the linear champion. The heavyweight title will remain split between Fedor and Brock Lesnar for the foreseeable future, but should Marquardt get his fight with Anderson Silva, the middleweight loop will be closed as well.

By Jeremy Botter Sources close to the UFC confirmed the story while pointing out that Lesnar was never officially part of the UFC 108 card.

By Marco Yanitelli Today's fighter wants to strike fast; a quick KO or a grappling competition. They do not want to get hit. They take pride in the fact that they can go three fights in a row and not take a single shot. Fighters like Anderson Silva and Machida instantly come to mind.

By Bryan Levick TA: Yes, Fedor is another fighter I like to watch compete. Along with GSP and Anderson Silva those three guys are fighters I love to watch. Another guy I love to watch is Wanderlei Silva, he was my favorite back in the day. He is my idol and one of the reasons I started fighting in MMA.

By Jon Pantera Looks like the fight is being moved to UFC 108. It was also rumored that Anderson Silva would be defending his middleweight belt against Vitor Belfort that night as well. Could we be getting two title fights to open up the new year or will one of these fights be moved to a later date?

By Chart Topper In a recent interview with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, he assured Silva’s fans that the champ was NOT having surgery to his elbow and that he was 200% ready to fight. Whereas another report by ESPN MMA had stated that Silva was to undergo surgery. White said heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar recently underwent a similar bone spur removal procedure. “Contrary to whatever the hell [Silva] is saying, he’s not 200 percent healthy,” UFC president Dana White said. “He’s having some bone spurs removed from his elbow, which is a simple little procedure that happens, but you’ve got to have recovery time.” In a recent interview with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, he [...]   [read the full post]

By random_asshole Giving up the belt and moving to light heavyweight seems to be the only way for Silva to finish his current UFC contract, leave the UFC, and fight Roy Jones Jr.  So, is this the beginning of the end for Anderson Silva in MMA?  If so, is it possible he'd come back to the UFC after a fight with Jones?

By Ryan Drescher gt;>Forrest Griffin is the ultimate underdog. Going into this fight, no one is giving Griffin a chance against Anderson Silva.
