Whelp, UFC fans, we’ve been lied to.
Less than 24 hours earlier, Dana White told us that former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva would NOT be fighting Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 200.
Globo reporting Anderson Silva vs. Daniel Cormier. Asked Dana White about this yesterday, he said "Silva just had his gallbladder removed."

White via text: Globo is wrong.

. . . confirmation that Anderson Silva vs Daniel Cormier is actually going down at the UFC’s 200th event this Saturday. According to MMA Fighting, the match will be a non-title fight.
So, what do you all think of this match-up? Can Silva – who has only had days to prepare – top the guy who reigns in the weight class above his?
