-ANDERSON SILVA MOVES TO 205 ON JULY 19 UFC!
Silva will make the move to light heavyweight, temporarily, without relinquishing his middleweight belt, to face James Irvin. dana says that Silva would still defend his 185-pound divisional title later in the year, but said a future bout with former light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell could be in the works if all goes well on July 19 at the palms in vegas!
very very interesting but i think they are just trying to do it to try and top the affliction card which is on the same night on ppv and this is supposed to be on spike!

I heard the same thing. I heard Wandy was supposed to fight Vera but he didnt want to fight on such short notice. Then i heard this, man should be a slobberknocker! and of course by slobberknocker i mean James Irvin getting KTFO by silva :D

Pretty crafty move by Dana....what a cockblocker he is:
Here's some of the rumored card, supposed to be announced this weekend on the Ultimate Fighter Finale show:
Anderson Silva v James Irvin
Brandon Vera v Reese Andy
Hermes Franca v Frankie Edgar
Anthony Johnson v Kevin Burns
Cain Velazquez v Jake O' Brien
There are also rumors that UFC has been bought out........not sure why you'd sell the money making giant, unless it was just too good to turn down....I'm sure the #'s will surface soon.

The rumor that i heard was that 50%was purchased by Sony. I guess we will wait and see. If its true the marketing will go through the roof. Maybe then the fighters will get boxers pay.
