What's Next for Anderson Silva? Two Fighters at Once!
Hot on the heels of Anderson Silva's destruction of top contender Dan Henderson at UFC 82, the California State Athletic Commission announced today that it will allow the UFC to match its invincible middleweight champ against two fighters simultaneously. According to sources within Zuffa, Silva will face off against both former champ Rich Franklin and TUF 3 winner Michael Bisping in a title bout slated for UFC 88 (tentatively called "Double Team") in Sacremento, California. In the unlikely event that Franklin and Bisping win, they will split the belt. Said the Zuffa source, who spoke on the condition that he remain anonymous: "We're really out of options. If Silva beats two guys at once, what are we going to do? Have him fight a rhinocerous? Hey, wait a minute..."

Seriously? Wow. I can't wait for this fight. My husband and I met Anderson Silva briefly at the airport on our way back from UFC 82. He was a very nice person and humble about his victory. This is a great blog!
seriously? this sounds a little far fetched, not wishing to doubt your credibility but i find it had to believe. plus i couldnt find any other info relating to this, but hey, i'm not a longstanding MMA journalist. is it all 3 guys at once or silva fighting them one after the other? i cant imagine silva actually taking this fight, despite his prowess it would be unlikely he would actually fair well against two trained MMA practitioners, and im sure that franklin would not be to proud of the fight, "yeah, he kicked my ass the first couple of fights real bad, then i brought my mate and we fucked him up" now if only Fedor emalianenko could be tempted into the ufc then i reckon he could take out the pair, and that would be an awesome fight.
