Anderson Silva on Saturday further established his claim as pound for pound the best fighter in the world today quite arguably the best ever with his win over Yushin Okami at UFC 134. It was Silva's 15th overall and 14th in the UFC.

When the Dana White announced that Brock Lesnar would be back by the new year, rumors began swirling that his comeback fight would be a trilogy fight against Frank Mir.
