I don't mean to rain on your parade but that article is just speculation and pretty much what we are doing here, not even really an article just a blog. It's only correlation between Dana White's statements and Duarte is that he said the fighter was 24 years old. Guess who is also 24 years old and actually still on the show? Phillipe Nover. He's also undefeated at 5-0-1 and walks around at 185 as well.
I never actually heard Dana's quote about the lightweight anderson silva before but now that I know about his 24 years old comment, it's pretty clear, at least to me, it's Nover.
Also it looked like Nover messed up Duarte's nose pretty bad in their fight, probably broken, thats a suspension by the athletic commission, I really don't think he's coming back, he is a good fighter and probably deserves to be back, but it's unlikely.
