Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has a pretty big venue to fill for the upcoming UFC 198 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which takes place inside Arena da Baixada stadium in Curitiba, Brazil, on May 14, 2016.
With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to learn that former middleweight champion Anderson Silva has been tapped to join the "Werdum vs. Miocic" line up in a battle of strikers, opposite 185-pound phenom Uriah Hall.
After a lengthy time out, Silva (33-7, 1 NC) returned to action just last month, dropping a controversial decision to middleweight stalwart Michael Bisping.
