Via UFC.com:
Unbeaten light heavyweight sensation Lyoto ‘The Dragon’ Machida (13-0) will look to keep the momentum going from his May victory over Tito Ortiz when he returns to the Octagon to face fellow unbeaten (and fellow Brazilian) Thiago Silva (13-0) in what should be an explosive clash on October 18th’s UFC 89 card at The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.
It’s been rumored for awhile and now it’s official. I think this is the best possible matchmaking for Machida if they aren’t giving him a title shot. They put him in with a guy who has an impressive streak, but probably won’t give him too much trouble.
