Wow. Belfort jumps over Henderson and Marquardt for a title shot. Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva and Henderson vs. Marquardt is also rumored for the card.

I think it's almost a no-brainer to put Silva/Vitor and Hendo/Marquardt as a co-main event for that card. It just makes way too much sense.

Rashad/Silva would be nice, but I'd rather they saved that until the Super Bowl weekend show. They could co-main event that with GSP/whoever. And there's a reasonable chance Rampage announces his return around December, so they could have him step in and fight Rashad in February. If they schedule Rashad for early January, it'd just be too soon for Rampage to step in if and when he comes back.

Shaping up to be a pretty damn awesome card if this turns out to be true.

For some reason, I dont see Rampage coming back until the film debuts in the summer. That fool thinks he is the next Rock.

Wowzers

I'm sad that Belfort is going to come back down to Earth quick fast and in a hurry

That's not much of a wow. Not like Hendo and Marquardt lost in some controversial fashion when Silva beat them.

Silva might only have two middleweight fights left in him for good. Versus Belfort and then against the winner of Hendo/Marquardt, if it happens?

I don't think Rampage returns until this time next year.

I would kind of like Anderson to move to LHW fulltime. He destroys anyone at MW, and without him there, they could make a very competitive division. Without question, he moves up for good once he beats Vitor and the Hendo/Nate winner.

It is possible we see an Anderson/Machida fight at the end of 2010, assuming Machida is still champ by then.

I would love this card if those end up being the 3 main fights.

Anderson Silva is amazing, Thiago Silva is one of my favorite fighters and Henderson vs Marquardt would be an important fight for the middleweight division.

New fight rumored for this card.

Wand vs. Akiyama
