After scoring a dominant win over Brandon Vera last Saturday at UFC 125, Thiago Silva is expected to face former light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in a featured bout at UFC 130 on May 28 in Las Vegas, according to MMAjunkie.
Silva (15-2) topped Vera to rebound in his first fight since dropping a decision to Rashad Evans last January, while Jackson (31-8) edged fellow former champ Lyoto Machida in November after falling to Evans in May.
UFC 130 is also rumored to feature lightweight champ Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard and Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson.
