Thiago Silva vs. Brandon Vera targeted for UFC 125 in January - Sources close to the contest that the UFC is targeting a matchup between Thiago Silva and Brandon Vera at UFC 125 on Jan. 1, 2011, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The biggest news in the 205lb class involved two young wrestlers, one on the rise, one due for a fall. #9 Jon Jones cracks the top 10 after crucifying #29 (was #24) Vladimir Matyushenko at UFC on Versus 2. #8 Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal will certainly fall next month after his loss to #15 Rafael "Feijao" Calvacante at Strikeforce: Houston.

This is the portrait of a division on hold. With #1 Mauricio "Shogun" Rua out with an injured knee and #3 Rashad Evans electing to wait out Shogun's return, light heavyweight has been snoozeville this month.

When mixed martial arts trainer Lloyd Irvin suffered a home invasion in 2008, no one had any idea the attackers were suspected serial killers.

Not a lot of movement in MMA's premiere division this month. The biggest fight featured #21 Chuck Liddell losing to #11 Rich Franklin at UFC 115.

The king is dead. Long live the king. #1 Mauricio "Shogun" Rua definitively established himself as the new king of the division with his first round finish of #2 Lyoto Machida to take the UFC 205lb title.

Finally, after waiting since UFC 104 last October, MMA fans will get the rematch between #1 Lyoto Machida and #2 Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 113 on May 8. The first fight was a classic of MMA strategy, heart and technique from two great fighters at the top of their games.
