Rashad Evans May (Or May Not) Rematch Rampage Jackson at UFC 130, Due to Thiago Silva's (Allegedly) Failed Steroid Test

(If you look at the changes in Thiago Silva's body shape over the years, you do have to wonder...)

Could Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson settle their continuing feud with a formal rematch when Sugar's knee is healthy again? Is Thiago Silva about to get busted for steroids? There's a ton of conflicting information surrounding these related stories, so we'll just pass along what we've heard...

- MMAWeekly was the first to report that UFC light-heavyweight contender Thiago Silva has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled match against Quinton Jackson at UFC 130 (May 28, Las Vegas). "Sources close to the bout" confirmed that Rashad Evans will be stepping in for the Pitbull — meaning that Evans's first opponent since outpointing Quinton Jackson last May will be...Quinton Jackson, once again.

- However, Thiago Silva himself denied the report to Tatame, saying "I’m very healthy and looking forward to fight Rampage...Nobody called us about anything, the fight is on.” Quinton Jackson's camp was also surprised by the report, and according to Rashad Evans's manager, Evans hasn't been offered the fight either.
