Tatame.com is reporting that the light heavyweight battle between Loyoto “The Dragon” Michida and Thiago Silva has been rescheduled for UFC 93 “Penn vs. St. Pierre” on January 31 from the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
The two were to face off at UFC 89 “Bisping vs. Leben” but the fight was cancelled after Silva reportedly injured his back in training.
The 205-lb fight would put the winner in title contention and a chance at Forrest Griffin in 2009.

should be a good fight too bad they had to wait so long to make it happen. i think machida will pull off the victory.
i am glad they are still going to fight, ufc 93 should be the one of the best cards ever with
bj vs gsp
wandy vs rampage
silva vs machida
Thats a long time to bench Machida.
UFC 93 is looking like ufc 73 stole its name STACKED. Cant wait for this card.
