We've got more speculation on Anderson Silva's involvement in UFC 95 in London, England. The U.K. newspaper The Sun is now reporting that Silva is being offered a fight with one of the losers of the two big light heavyweight bouts at UFC 92. Those four men of course are Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, his opponent Wanderlei Silva, Rashad Evans, or the current Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin. This speculation comes off the heels of reports earlier today that Chuck Liddell seems likely to move up to heavyweight for a June confrontation in Germany against Randy Couture.

Penick's Analysis: There's a very short turn around between UFC 92, on December 27th, and UFC 95, scheduled for February 21st. Even if one of the losing fighters from next month's show is up for it initially, they're going to be dependent on said fighter's ability to recover in time to train for a fight right away. I think Silva will fight on this card, but I would not at all be surprised if it's against someone other than the four fighters named in the story.
