I agree. This is one of the best fights at the HW class that could be made. This would definitely propel one guy to be the next guy to take a shot at Fedor and/or Overeem.

That’s a huge fight and I’m betting Werdum.

From Sherdog:

"There is no action pending against Mr. Silva nor is any contemplated," wrote CSAC Executive Officer Dave Thornton in an e-mail to Sherdog.com. "So he is clear to fight in California or any other state as long as he fulfills all other requirements."

The American Top Team heavyweight was suspended after testing positive for Boldenone following his July 2008 heavyweight championship contest against Justin Eilers at an EliteXC event in Stockton, Calif.

Silva has agreed to a multi-fight contract with Strikeforce with a carve-out that will also allow him to compete in Japan’s Sengoku promotion.
