Has anyone from the UFC or from Thiago's camp actually confirmed this? Because if so, I haven't seen it yet.

They still have 6 weeks to fill this spot. I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Franklin-Hamill winner put into this spot, or Boetish if he wins impressivly tonight. I just hope Thiago gets better so we can see him back in action by the end of the year, there are so many good fights at LHW right now for everyone. It is Chucks title shot to lose against Evans, but if Evans wins, then maybe Machida is moved off of 89 and into a title shot on 91 or New Years. He deserves it.

I thought Stephan Bonnar was injured with some knee problems and that's why he isn't competing in Chicago? I hope they find someone for Machida --> QUICKLY!!! Oh...what about Rampage???

I was really looking forward to this fight as T. Silva is one of my favorite fighters, not to mention he could definitely beat Machida. Here's to a speedy recovery for Thiago and I hope to see him in the cage again soon. Dammit!! I was really looking forward to this fight as T.

Couldn't agree more and if Chucky wins, he will get the title shot in Dec because its all about the benjamins. Good opinion “drdsanders”.

This sounds bad but you either need to be a badass in the cage and finish all your opponents or promote yourself. I don't think he even speaks English and he's not Anderson Silva so he needs to help himself and do PR, interviews, get on tv etc. It’s all about the $ and Chuck fighting for a title in December means lots of it unfortunately.

How can the UFC give Liddell the next title shot if Machida is 13-0 and riding a 5 fight win streak in the UFC? They were going to use the excuse that the winner of Machida/Silva wouldn't be ready in time to face Griffin on the New Years show. Now they have to find a different bogus excuse for why both Machida and Silva aren't more entitled to a shot than Liddell is. I'm all for "superfights" but not when someones getting screwed out of a title shot. This is great news.
