It’s been the talk at office water coolers for weeks now that the main 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 first bout happened at UFC 126 almost five decades back, 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 this rematch will get struggle fans giddy with excitement. So much so that it becomes simple to block their current legal troubles. Silva last saw action 10 months back, where he conquered Nick Diaz via unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards. The result of the five circular main event bout was later turned into a No Contest, if the former UFC middleweight winner tested positive for having drostanolone and androsterone within his system. Having served his suspension,»The Spider» is ready to create his return to the Octagon and word is he has found himself a struggle. This rematch will come after a rubbermatch for Belfort, who is coming off 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 after a failed bid in present winner Chris Weidman and his golden, and also another impressive victory over»The Spider» in this rematch, he could 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, mostly in part because of UFC President Dana White admitting that Silva vs Belfort II is indeed the next fight he wants to reserve to both veteran 185-pounders. The night’s co-headliner was rumored for a middleweight match-up involving Lyoto Machida and Michael Bisping, but that has been demonstrated to not be the case when the Michael Bisping vs Gegard Mousasi match-up was declared earlier this week. The two will go to war in the main event for February’s UFC Fight Night 83 in Bisping’s garden of London.
