UFC light heavyweight slugger, Thiago Silva has dismissed tonight’s rumour that he’s out injured and will be replaced by Rashad Evans at UFC 130 on May 28th in Las Vegas, Nevada, saying it’s simply not true.
Speaking via Tatame Magazine, Silva said:
“Injured? Me? I’m very healthy and looking forward to fighting Rampage. That’s not true. Nobody called us about anything, the fight is on.”
Well, that settles it... i'm really pumped to find out Silva is in fine form!
The LHW division is really, I mean really stacked right now.
We have:
-Rua vs. Jones for the title
-Silva vs. Rampage for a contender
-Machida vs. Couture (possible redemption to get Machida back into his winning ways)
-Griffin vs. ? (Some interesting match ups could happen here)
Few guys coming off of loses or looking to climb the ladder:
I seriously give Rampage next to no chance, Thaigo better stand up and ground game, seriously Rampage has not impressed me for a couple of years now, I would be surprised if this fight is any different.
Lol... Im sorry... But pay very close attention to everything u said come fight night...
Better striker? And ground game? I assume you think Rampage is some kind of pathetic Brandon Vera?
Sorry bra giving him next to no chance when he clearly has hands that can end it at any second, and proved his TDD against Machida and showed a MUCH better fight then Thiago did...
Rampage is going to look A LOT bigger the you think he is, and if you think Thiago is going to control him on the ground you cant be more wrong.
And the fact you think Thiago is better on the feet and your confident if it stays standing, says enough for me on how confused u must be
This is gonna be a gritty fight. I don't see Rampage holding back at all. I felt he held back in some of his recent fights to play the conservative game. Silva is getting KO'd here.
This fight is a toss up for me, ramapge is one of my favorite fighter. But silva is deadly, when he is healthy he is easily one of the best fighters in the world.
I think Rampage takes it but would not be surprised if Thiago won. I don't see Thiago KOing Rampage. I mean Rampage has a solid chin and Thiago hasn't even KO'd any fighter that is that good.
If Rampage is in good shape I think it is a pretty good matchups for Rampage. Another slow fighter that likes to bang. And Thiago doesn't have the best wrestling, good BJJ but not wrestling.
Its now coming out that one of the drug tests from UFC 125 is still being processed. It could be thiagos and that could be the real problem with his fight against Rampage.
Weird how these rumours flyed. Although I don't mind seeing Rashad get knocked into oblivion this time around.
This is a very intriguing fight. Going to enjoy the stare downs. Two bad mutha f***as hitting each other with bad intentions. But yah unless Thiago can take Rampage down there's a distint possibility of him getting KOed. To think about if Rampage lost he had the chance for the title.
Come to think of it Rampage seems to be floating around. Didn't he have the chance to fight against Machida early on.

So is it still on or what?? I hope so because as much as I think he is a clown, I would prefer to cheer for Rampage against an even bigger prick than he is than watch him get embarrassed by Rashad again. Rashad's got bigger fish to fry.
