“I should fight in Curitiba in April, on the same card as Fabricio Werdum x Cain Velasquez. I think my opponent will be Michael Bisping. I don't remember exactly. I think it’s him…”, said Anderson, who participated in an Ultimate event in the Republic of Dagestan (Russia).

Anderson's information, both that he will fight Bisping and that the UFC will make its debut in Curitiba in April, on top of that with the first title defense of Fabricio Werdum, have not been commented on by the Ultimate organization and, therefore, are not official.

A hypothetical duel between Anderson Silva, whose professional record is 33 wins, six losses and one fight without result, and Michael Bisping, who has a record of 27 wins and 7 losses and a fight scheduled against Robert Whitaker on November 14th, had already been talked about since the Brazilian was still middleweight champion. Anderson, in fact, has a strong connection with the city of Curitiba, where he grew up and trained in martial arts, being part of the historic Chute Boxe team.
