24 hours later.... no announcement for a replacement opponent for DC.

[GearSolidMetal]

No Gus.

No Anderson Silva.

Well... fuck.

Usually, when UFC is in a scramble to find a late-notice replacement opponent, they announce it as soon as it's confirmed to maintain interest in the event.

24 hours later, no announcement.

 

[themainman]

they prolly got another barista from starbucks

 

[MCMXCIX]

It is Silva. It's 99% done.

 

[Phillyz]

Waiting for Silvas physical

 

[papajohns]

TMZ says Hendo is one of the three options!!! I love Hendo but man that would be a terrible fight.

 

[TheRassler]

It is Silva. It's 99% done.

It is @99Silva?

 

[jessejecmma]

Just because it hasn't been announced doesn't mean it isn't figured out. I would guess they know who will fight but they're just taking care of everything else that goes along with that

 

[MCMXCIX]

It is @99Silva?

Nope. The real 100% Silva. It's only 99% done deal.

 

[McGrubie]

TMZ says Hendo is one of the three options!!! I love Hendo but man that would be a terrible fight.

TMZ?

 

[papajohns]

TMZ?

I did go to TMZ

 

[HelloJapan]

It is Silva. It's 99% done.

99Silva...he lives.

 

[ufcoddsmaker]

i think anderson fight will be announced before or after tonights main event

 

[NTylerWeTrust]

I"m guessing announced tonight just before the main event. That makes sense to me.

 

[dickcheney]

It should just be a surprise at weigh ins

 

[dickcheney]

And he should weigh in with a hood over his head and be revealed by buffer in the cage

 

[Vinzr]

You were actually expecting a replacement fighter 3 days out from an event?

Only way that would happen would if they made it a HW fight, in which case it'd be unfair for DC who probably had already started cutting most of the weight.

 

[TheWarTornJohn]

- Isn't Silva still suspended for drug use?
- Gus isn't fighting him likely, which is depressing but also good for Gus.
- Bader is 100% available, and marketable as he was on a huge fucking tear before Rumble beat his ass.
- GSP would be fun, but he'd get fucking raped in the asshole.
- Machida would be fun if he wasn't suspended.
- Gegard would fucking die, no offense what so ever there.

[TrueBias]

[Count Zero]
