In fact, he'll actually be in the main event.

Following Saturday night's "Aldo vs. Faber" post-event press conference, White told a small group of reporters that the upcoming Silva vs. Chael Sonnen fight at UFC 117 in Salt Lake City, Utah, would serve as the night's featured contest.

"You have to," White said. "He's the main event."

Hes a little cocky brash and arrogant, but atleast you know with cheal, he'll put anderson on his back or get ko'd or choked out trying.

Gotta agree with you. With all the **** Sonnen has been talking, you've gotta think if he pushes the action Silva will put him down.

yeah...Sonnen needs to cut off the ring and get anderson close to the cage so he can grab him and hold on to him. With those long legs and wide stance, it's very hard to take him down in open space. Thales leites had a great takedown on him in open space but it was because anderson seemed to be throwing something...so counter-takedown a kick, or close in on him near the cage.

Otherwise Sonnen will lose. (likely scenario lol)

Dana should at least make this one of those free things they show on Spike like they've done in the past. I can't understand how he can seriously ask people to spend money on a PPV with Silva headlining after the past few fights Silva has had.

I have to say Dana is giving Silva a harsh punishment.. Main event on a ppv vs another ground guy.:waytogo: I'll save my money...
