Rumor: WHOA. Anderson Silva rumored to replace Jon Jones at UFC 200 and fight Daniel Cormier

Hold us. Our Anderson Silva spider senses are tingling. Rumors are floating around the MMA Internet that none other than Anderson “Fucking” Silva is being tabbed to replace Jon Jones at UFC 200 versus Daniel Cormier. HOLY MOTHER OF FIGHT GOD.

All the times we cursed the fight gods for injuries and drug suspensions…….um like last night when Jon Jones got booted off UFC 200, we apologize. Please make Anderson Silva versus Daniel Cormier a reality.

From sportv.globo.com, a respected Brazilian news outlet, comes the bat shit crazy report.

“After the announcement that Jon Jones was caught in a doping test outside the competition period , bringing the duel between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt the main event of UFC 200, the Ultimate acted quickly and managed to keep Daniel Cormier on the card this Saturday . The scheduled to replace “Bones ” is nothing less that the organization’s middleweight former champion , Anderson Silva.

by Combate.com to sources close to the situation , the fight will not be worth the belt and there is a standoff over which weight and the amount of rounds.”

Thanks Google for that translation. This rumor too good to be true?

UPDATE:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
