It’s been the talk at office water coolers for weeks now that the main event for March’s UFC 197 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil could be a rematch between Brazilian middleweights Anderson”The Spider” Silva and”The Phenom” Vitor Belfort. Their first bout happened at UFC 126 almost five years ago, in which Silva succesfully defended his UFC middleweight title with a front-kick knockout of Belfort, finally recording arguably the most used highlight in UFC history. The news of the rematch gets struggle fans giddy with enthusiasm. So much so that it will become simple to block their recent legal issues. Silva last saw activity 10 weeks back, where he defeated Nick Diaz via unanimous conclusion on the judges’ scorecards. The consequence of this five round main event bout was later turned into a No Competition, if the former UFC middleweight champion tested positive for getting drostanolone and androsterone in his or her system. Having served his suspension,”The Spider” is prepared to create his return to the Octagon and word is he has found himself a struggle. This rematch will come following a rubbermatch for Belfort, who’s coming from a first round knockout of Dan Henderson, which took place just weeks ago at UFC Fight Night 77 at Brazil. This was an impressive way for”The Phenom” to go back to the win column after a failed bid at current champion Chris Weidman and his golden, and with another remarkable victory over”The Spider” in this rematch, he could surely make a case for a rematch with the winner of UFC 194’s Weidman vs Rockhold. The rumored UFC 197 main event is talked about, mostly in part due to UFC President Dana White admitting that Silva vs Belfort II is indeed the next fight he wishes to reserve to both veteran 185-pounders. The night’s co-headliner was rumored to be a middleweight match-up involving Lyoto Machida and Michael Bisping, but that was demonstrated not to be the case whenever the Michael Bisping vs Gegard Mousasi match-up was declared earlier this week. The two goes to war in the main event for February’s UFC Fight Night 83 in Bisping’s garden of London. Brazilian fighters who are not currently booked for battles we could see about the UFC 197 battle card are Thomas de Almeida, Glover Teixeira, Iuri Alcantara, Thales Leites, Rani Yahya, Alan Patrick, Kevin Souza, Leandro Silva, Hacran Dias, John Lineker, Valmir Lazaro, Michel Prazeres, Erick Silva, Bigfoot Silva, Thiago Tavares, Godofredo Pepey, Roan Carneiro, Pedro Munhoz and Thiago Alves.
