    News broke yesterday that the UFC was looking to get a replacement for Thiago Silva at UFC 130. Initial reports suggested Silva was injured, something Silva's camp denied later on in the day, before it was revealed that the NSAC were examining one of Silva's doping tests from his last fight. Silva's camp have admitted that of the two tests Silva submitted, one of the two has come back dirty. However they deny any wrongdoing.

    Re: Thiago Silva: two tests, one positive one negative; "my blood is clean"

    I don't believe him.

    The UFC, in anticipation of a Silva suspension, seem to have booked Evans/Jackson 2 already.

    Why the fuck is there going to be a sequel to that? It was a let down the first time that left nothing to be desired in a rematch!!! Outside of a big punch by Rampage in the 3rd...he wasn't in the fight. He couldn't stop the TD's and he gassed. Evans is just going to lay on him for another decision victory unless Rampage can stuff them.

    FUCK!!!

    Not happy at all with this stupid shit.

    It seems to be a pointless rematch for both fighters. However, everyone else is booked or unavailable.

    Seems especially pointless for Rashad having come off a win over Rampage already. But then almost all fights at 205 will be pointless if Jones wins the belt.

    Rampage - Bader

    Rampage - Lil Nog (pull him from Tito)

    Something other than Rashad/Rampage II. If I was Rampage, I'd be pissed.

    Seems more questionable as to why Rashad would agree to this. Hes coming off a win over Rampage, why fight him again? At least Rampage has vengeance on his mind.

    Rashad probably looks @ it as a fight that he can easily win because he knows the game plan already. It keeps him right in title contention if Bones doesn't beat Shogun.

    Looks like Franklin/Bader might be next for those two.

    Rampage/Franklin would be fun.

    I think Bader just lays on Franklin for 3 rounds.

    Still not much news on this... I was under the impression a urine sample could be processed more quickly than this.

    Give it to the Machida's and let them see if it tastes funny.

    The NSAC is letting Silva twist in the wind at this point. Can't be good news, can it?
