    what a difference 6 months make, half a year ago he was being knocked out in 21 secs by nate. now he is fighting for the title

    Either way Silva would have been defending ihis title here, even if it had been against Dana himself!!! This card is too high profile, i'm assuming when negotiations were taking place that UFC guaranteed 'somebody' 2 title fights

    Exactly, I'm sure 2 title fights is in a solid contract somewhere and this is all they can do. I'd prefer them to move the interim fight with Mir and Carwin from 111, but I'm sure they want that card to be a huge hit due to it's proximity to NY.

    Sonnen really threw a spanner in the works by beating Nate!

    Come on, isolating a single match out of 13 fights is a bit silly.[/QUOTE]

    i wasnt saying he didnt deserve the shot or anything, i was just pointing out how much can happen in a short space of time,:)

    This will be a great fight if it goes to the ground. Two world class Jitsu guys.

    ..I thought they both trained together with the nog brothers ??

    obviously not

    He is and still has to be cleared to fight.

    Maia is currently under medical suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission until Aug. 6 due to an left vertical upper eyelid laceration. However, Maia was not issued a minimum suspension, and he can be cleared early by an ophthalmologist or ocular-plastics doctor.
