While UFC president Dana White made it very clear he was unhappy with
his middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, following a lackluster
appearance at this past weekend’s UFC 112 event in Abu Dhabi, the exec
isn’t hesitating to put “The Spider” back in action.
White announced today during an appearance on ESPN’s “Jim Rome is
Burning” that the organization was targeting a fight between Silva and
top contender Chael Sonnen for Aug. 7.
MMAjunkie.com has since confirmed the UFC is
targeting Aug. 7 in Salt Lake City, marking the UFC’s first-ever trip to
Utah.
