  • Anderson confirms the fight delay..a little more on Machida

    UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva will not defend his title Jan. 2 at UFC 108 against Vitor Belfort.

    Ed Soares, the manager for Silva, told ESPN.com today that his fighter is still recovering from elbow surgery. The elbow isn't expected to fully heal in time for the scheduled bout with Belfort.

    "The fight is still on; it just won't happen Jan. 2," Soares said. "The doctor wants Anderson to take more time to let the injury heal properly."

    Silva isn't the only BlackHouse camp member on the mend. UFC light heavyweight titleholder Lyoto Machida had surgery on his left hand yesterday. The injury was sustained before Machida's UFC 104 showdown with Mauricio Rua on Oct. 24. Machida defeated Rua by unanimous decision.

    "Lyoto has had the hand injury for a while," Soares said. "When the doctor looked at it, he discovered several problems. Lyoto had bone spurs, calcium deposits and a bone fragment."

    It is not yet known how long Machida will be sidelined. He is expected to make a full recovery
    Well, it is confirmed from their camp as well. And there is a little on Machida too.
