Sources have indicated to M MA W e e k l y . com as of Wednesday that Thiago Silva has been forced to withdraw from his upcoming fight at UFC 130, and will be replaced by none other that former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans.

The Team Jackson fighter wasn’t seriously injured, and was expected to be ready to come back as early as May and it looks like he’ll get his wish.

No idea as to why Silva is out?

Why was thiago forced out? I hate rashad I hope Rampage destroys that guy, Sounding like Rashad bitched out bc he was scared of Rua

bump? why was this?

my friend said today he heard some kind of drug was found in his system after his last fight

Ok here we go

According to a new report from MMAWeekly, Silva's UFC 125 drug test is currently being scrutinized, and was not included on the revealed list of fighters who tested negative for performance enhancing drugs heading into the fight.

Silva was the 15th fighter tested and his sample is still processing.

I figured it had to be something like that, but you never know

apparently Thiago is saying he is still in for the match too

Haha, why's that not surprise me?

Thiago is kind of Dueche, not my favorite fghter, but I like him more than rashad, either way I want Rampage to win
