yeah that. and everybody wants to fight him. i just never seen or heard anybody who actually "won" a Diaz fight want a rematch. Condit can't really accept his win with pride, and Silva kinda like that.

Spong didn't even have an opponent named until like a week before the fight lol probably just grabbed the first random bum they could find out of a German gym.
I don't see the point of this fight. Spong is a world class fighter, regardless of this being a new sport to him. He could get more out of a sparring session.

Report: Ben Saunders injured, out of UFC Fight Night 62 bout vs. Erick Silva in Brazi
WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FIGHT! DAMN IT!
The UFC’s return to Rio de Janeiro later this month continues to be plagued with injury issues.
According to a report from Sherdog.com, Ben Saunders (18-6-2 MMA, 6-3 UFC) has suffered an injury and has been forced out of the UFC Fight Night 62 co-main event against Erick Silva (17-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC). UFC officials have yet to make an announcement of the change, and it is not yet known if Silva will get a new opponent on two weeks’ notice.
UFC Fight Night 62 takes place March 21 at Maracanazinho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro. The main card is expected to air on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Saunders returned to the UFC in August after a lengthy run in Bellator, and he started his second UFC stint out right with a rare omoplata submission of Chris Heatherly at UFC Fight Night 49 in Tulsa that won him “Performance of the Night. In December at UFC on FOX 13, he picked up a TKO win over Joe Riggs in Phoenix when Riggs suffered a neck injury.
Silva has won bonus awards in three straight fights and six of his past seven. But since his entry into the UFC in 2011, he has yet to win back-to-back fights, alternating between wins and losses for the entirety of his nine-fight UFC run. Most recently, he rebounded from a “Fight of the Night” TKO loss to Matt Brown in the UFC Fight Night 40 headliner to choke out Mike Rhodes in the first round at UFC Fight Night 58 in Brazil, which got him a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus.
With the change, the UFC Fight Night 62 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (FOX Sports 1, 10 p.m. ET)
•Ryan LaFlare vs. Demian Maia
•Erick Silva vs. TBA
•Gilbert Burns vs. Alex Oliveira
•Tony Martin vs. Leonardo Santos
•Shayna Baszler vs. Amanda Nunes
•Andre Fili vs. Godofredo Pepey
PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 8 p.m. ET)
•Akbarh Arreola vs. Francisco Trinaldo
•Katsunori Kikuno vs. Kevin Souza
•Drew Dober vs. Leandro Silva
•Cain Carrizosa vs. Leonardo Mafra
PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 7 p.m. ET)
•Jorge de Oliveira vs. Christos Giagos
•Fredy Serrano vs. Bentley Syler
