As announced during the UFC 61 "Bitter Rivals" pay-per view telecast this past Saturday night, UFC president Dana White confirmed Vanderlei Silva will fight for the company. They claim if Chuck Liddell beats Renato "Babalu" Sobral at UFC 62, they will make the MMA dream match, champion versus champion, for November.
Apparently there is a deal in place already, and Silva has as many as three fights in the UFC.
There is a lot more to this one than you would think, as PRIDE has their drama going on in Japan with the Fuji TV/Yakuza scandal, and they're about to debut in the United States in October, literally one week after that month's UFC show (which is also in Las Vegas). Obviously this has something to do with the two mega-MMA companies working together now.
