the news that Anderson Silva is fully cleared to return to training got a lot of people excited. This includes UFC president, Dana White, who is already starting to speculate about the Brazilian's return to the Octagon after the fracture he suffered against Chris Weidman, at the end of last year.

Anderson himself has already stated that he does not intend to fight in 2014, but, in an interview with the “UFC Tonight” program, on “FOX Sports”, White said he believes in a “Spider” fight later this year.
