Default Antonio Silva in the UFC?

what do you think the chances are of Silva joining the UFC? this kid is huge and he would easily step in and be a top contender at 265 in the UFC. although his organization is trying to set-up a fight with Fedor assuming he beats Rodriguez tonight. This guy could do some serious damage to anyone at 265, i would love to see him and Brock Lesnar

Joe Silva said when his Elite contract is up he expects him to sign with the UFC. This was in December I believe?

Well he said he tore something a few weeks ago so give him the benefit of the doubt.

I was disapointed also but if he went into the fight injured then he did alright.

As shallow as the HW division is the UFC should grab him up. He's got solid striking, good BJJ, and he's young and working with a great camp. No reason not to sign him.
