    Two rumours going around regarding Dana Whites HUGE announcmnet next week.

    1) Anderson Silva stepping up to 205 to take on the UFC's finest at this weight. His debut being against Chuck Liddell at UFC 88.

    2) Rumours from American Kickboxing Academy that Floyd has been training the ground game and will fight in the UFC. There are rumours that Dana has mentioned a "big boxing superstar" fighting for the UFC during his time in England for tonights UFC 85 card.

    I'd be happy with either coming true :lol: but i'd filll my pants if Floyd actually went ahead with this.

    It's probably no.1 but if it is no.2 noone can say that Floyd is ducking boxings finest at 147.

    Floyd is walking away from $20 Million to fight where $1Million is considered HUGE? I'm more apt to think his retirement talk is something he learned from his budz over at WWE or whatever they call it now. He stands a chance of getting hurt even by a can in the UFC.

    The odds of Floyd fighting in the UFC are extremely low :lol: but you never know.

    It's probably a major TV deal or Anderson Silva vs Liddell.

    We'll find out soon enough.

    i don't know wtf floyd is trying to prove but the way i see it floyd is smart, remember he had that talk with mark cuban. I think what floyd is doing is making himself a household name, i really think he's gunning for popularity. Perhaps the money would be less in UFC than what he earns in boxing but think of that as an investment

    He's not gonna leave the sport he has mastered and gotten rich from to go to another sport that is 10x more dangerous to him for 10x less money.....i just can't fathom the idea.

    That "boxing superstar" could be Kermit Cintron.....i remember him saying that he would fight Sean Sherk at lightweight if given a chance. He was a wrestler for a bit.

    Please be Silva-Liddell. All Floyd will do is embarrse another combat sport.

    It will be Silva-Liddell before it's ever Mayweather in MMA. That's just not going to happen.

    Floyd may do very well in UFC I donot know if he could be champion but he could do well All he really has to do is not be taken down. Watch machida fight.
