"I don’t know anything at all about any elbow injury. I wonder who hurt me? I’m 200 percent healthy and there’s no injury. UFC can set the next fight whenever they want, I’m ready. I’m interested in fighting Frank Mir. He can be the next one."
Despite an MMA Live 'tweet' from ESPN that had the Brazilian sidelined with an elbow injury, reigning UFC 185-pound champion Anderson Silva is as fresh as the morning dew and ready to fight when called upon. "The Spider" makes no qualms about answering the challenge of former heavyweight champion Frank Mir, who promised to 'rip his shoulder out of his socket' if he and Silva ever hit the ground during a fight. A move up to heavyweight would be unprecedented, but more than likely wouldn’t happen anytime soon — company president Dana White, naturally, isn’t too keen on the idea. In fact, he's still holding out for an eventual superfight between Silva and reigning light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida. Spidey and "The Dragon" have already refused that offer. Sounds like fighting in the UFC isn't restricted to just the Octagon.
