    Anderson Silva has asked the UFC for time off to, among other things, make a movie with Steven Seagal and Lyoto Machida. He wants to return to the UFC at the end of 2013. Supposedly him being cage-side at UFC 154 has nothing to do with him wanting to fight GSP. It could be that he is threatening to bail out on the UFC for an extended period if they don't give him the GSP super-fight.

    In the meantime Michael Bisping wants his upcoming fight with Vitor Belfort to be upgraded to an interim title fight should Silva be granted time away. While an interim title is in order I think Chris Weidman should be fighting for it.
