The Brazilian Anderson Silva, middleweight champion and UFC's biggest name today, has a new contract with the biggest MMA organization on the planet. At least that's what Ultimate's president, Dana White, said during an interview session promoted by a sponsor.

“I haven't spoken to Anderson (Silva) in about a month. But as far as I know, it’s settled,” said the manager, when asked about a new arrangement with the champion. White also stated that, again as far as he knows, the new deal with Spider is for ten fights.
