Anderson Silva is back in action on Saturday night, but it will not be to defend his UFC Middleweight Championship. It is unlikely that he defends the belt again until the spring of 2013 or later. There is also the possibility of a superfight with Georges St. Pierre that could push a defense back further.

Standing at the top of the list of contenders are Michael Bisping and Chris Weidman. Depending on how the schedule plays out, and if Weidman defeats Tim Boetsch in December, these two men may have to meet in a title eliminator.

Bisping is coming off of a victory over Brian Stann at UFC 152, and Weidman continued his undefeated record versus Mark Munoz in July.

Both men want a title shot, but with Silva unavailable to defend, that could force them into the Octagon against one another to determine the absolute No. 1 contender.

Here’s a look at the potential title elimination matchup.

UFC on FX 5: Browne vs. Silva was a great way to kick off the weekend.

The Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn. played host to the free televised card. Three of the four main card contests ended emphatically: one submission and two knockouts.

At welterweight Jay Hieron met Jake Ellenberger in a rematch with the winner proving they are one of the division’s elite. And in the between, John Dodson and Jussier Formiga was a UFC Flyweight Championship eliminator bout.

UFC on FX 5 hits television screens on Oct. 5, with the second consecutive heavyweight main event.

Travis Browne will meet Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in an attempt to make his claim as one of the UFC’s best heavyweights. Browne has a career record of 13-0-1, 4-0-1 inside the Octagon. The 6’7″ heavyweight has a chance to make an statement by stopping Bigfoot.

Bigfoot Silva returns to the Octagon after a tough debut bout against Cain Velasquez. He was taken down early in the fight and brutalized by Velasquez’s ground and pound until the referee pulled him off Bigfoot 3:36 into the fight.

Something has to give when the two behemoths step inside the cage, and this is how the fight breaks down.
