It's official - Anderson Silva will meet Forrest Griffin in a light heavyweight co-main event at UFC 101 on August 8th.

This is going to test Silva I think, moving up to light heavy against a top fighter like Griffin was the right thing to do. If he wins he has to be a serious title contender at that weight.

He won't be a serious title contender at 205 as the next champ is one of his best mates and they have said they won't fight each other.

Looks like he'll be getting Bisping (if Mike can beat Hendo) as his next title fight followed by the winner of Maia/Marquardt.
Hopefully Yushin Okami will get a shot soon although I won't hold my breath.
