Lyoto Machida vs Thiago Silva Set for UFC 89

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:26:26 -0500

UFC.com has the scoop.

Unbeaten light heavyweight sensation Lyoto 'The Dragon' Machida (13-0) will look to keep the momentum going from his May victory over Tito Ortiz when he returns to the Octagon to face fellow unbeaten (and fellow Brazilian) Thiago Silva (13-0) in what should be an explosive clash on October 18th's UFC 89 card at The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.

I'm really looking forward to this fight, although I don't see Machida losing to anyone anytime soon, Thiago is a beast and could give him some trouble.

Wanderlei Silva Vs Thiago Silva Possible for October.

Thiago Silva has been on a tear boasting a 13 fight win-streak and running through Houston Alexander. Wanderlei Silva is slated to fight on July 19th, he tore up Keith Jardine, and had a legendary fight with Chuck Liddell. I think this is going to be a good fight. If thiago gets Silva to the ground, i think Silva has good enough jiu jitsu skills to hang. we saw Thiago struggle in his last fight standing up so Wanderlei has the advantage and will win in my opinion.

All apologies to The Axe Murderer

Before his bout with Keith Jardine in May, I wrote that regardless of the outcome of the fight that Wanderlei Silva should drop down in weight from light-heavyweight to middleweight to best utilize his talents and capitalize on possibly becoming a champion in the UFC. Not only do I need to take back that statement, I need to send my deepest apologies to Wanderlei in hopes that he doesn't beat me down like he did to Jardine.
