UFC 148 Addition: Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva II off UFC 147 in Brazil

News

At the UFC 147 press conference earlier this morning Dana White, Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva announced in Brazil that the main event for that card is being pushed off a couple weeks. Unable to secure a stadium show for one of the biggest rematches in recent memory, the middleweight championship rematch is being moved to the main event of UFC 148 in Las Vegas, NV.

Light Heavyweight bout: Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin
Middleweight bout: Rich Franklin vs. Cung Le
