MMAJunkie is reporting that the UFC has begun making calls to gather the warriors for battle. Tentatively scheduled for October 25 that would happen only a week after UFC 89 in the UK. Usually Dana and the UFC spreads the events out by 2 weeks, but if true it ...

It appears that a Griffin Jackson Rematch is in discussion. The question would be will we have to wait for other fights first. White is quoted as saying "Rampage wants a rematch, Forrest said right away it is only right to give Rampage a rematch and it is a huge fight to do again. But there are a lot of great fights now Forrest is champion, the rematch being one of them, so we'll look at that over the next few months."
With the Affliction Banned card already exciting anyone that knows MMA, and the UFC confirming that Anderson Silva will headline their answer card we now know 2 other fights we will see on July 19th. Brandon Vera will face Reese Andy and Hermes Franca will compete against Frankie Edgar.
I can't believe what I just learned. Dave Meltzer, from Yahoo Sports confirmed today that Anderson Silva will be moving up to fight James Irvin at the Light Heavyweight Division. You may remember James Irvin for his superman punch 8 second win over Houston Alexander, which some argue was a poor call by The Mazz. Its been rumored now for a little over a week that the UFC would do something to counter Affliction Banned. We speculated that they would actually move the Brock Lesnar Heath Herring fight, but instead we get to see one of baddest dudes prove he can fight at any weight.
