It has been the talk at office water coolers for weeks now that the primary occasion for March’s UFC 197 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil may be a rematch between Brazilian middleweights Anderson”The Spider” Silva and”The Phenom” Vitor Belfort. Their very first bout happened at UFC 126 almost five years 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 will get struggle fans giddy with excitement. So much so that it becomes simple to block their current legal troubles. Silva last saw activity 10 weeks ago, where he conquered Nick Diaz via unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards. The result of this five round main event bout was turned into a No Contest, when the former UFC middleweight champion tested positive for having drostanolone and androsterone in his system. Having served his suspension”The Spider” is prepared to make his return to the Octagon and saying is he has 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 happened only weeks back at UFC Fight Night 77 at Brazil. It had been an impressive way for”The Phenom” to return to the win column following a failed bid at present winner Chris Weidman and his golden, and with another impressive victory over”The Spider” in this rematch, he would certainly make a case to get a rematch with the winner of UFC 194’s Weidman vs Rockhold. The rumored UFC 197 main event is talked about, largely in part because of UFC President Dana White acknowledging that Silva vs Belfort II is indeed the next fight he wants to reserve for both veteran 185-pounders. The evening’s co-headliner was supposed for a middleweight match-up between Lyoto Machida and Michael Bisping, but that was demonstrated not to be the situation whenever 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 in Bisping’s backyard of London.
