According to MMAMania:
Rashad Evans and Brazilian Thiago Silva (14-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) have verbally agreed to meet in the co-main event of UFC 108.
Bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.
Oh where art thou Rampage? Actually, Thiago Silva and Rashad Evans were rumored to be facing one another last year, but that bout never came to fruition because of Silva injuring his back. This fight could be entertaining, but I don't think it's a good move considering that both fighters have recently gotten destroyed by the current light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida. However, this fight is the UFC scrambling to find an opponent for Evans since Rampage Jackson decided to throw away an entire season of TUF that was promoting a fight with Rashad Evans. This fight will be one part of a rumored trifecta of main events that the UFC generally does for it's end of year show.(technically it'll be the beginning of the year, but you know what I mean). This fight card could have Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort as the main event with Dan Henderson vs. Nate Marquardt on the card if Henderson re-signs with the UFC.
