A middleweight showdown pitting Anderson Silva against Uriah Hall is in the works for UFC 198.
Sources close to the situation revealed the news to Sherdog.com on Wednesday evening. The UFC has not formally announced the 185-pound contest, but it is expected to be finalized soon. UFC 198 takes place at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil, on May 14 and is headlined by a heavyweight title clash between Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic.
After a year on the sidelines due to a suspension for a failed drug test, Silva returned to action at UFC Fight Night in London, where he dropped a five-round verdict to Michael Bisping.
