Anderson Silva will fight Daniel Cormier on Saturday night at UFC 200.

The news was broken By Combate this morning and confirmed with the UFC by TMZ tonight.

Cormier, the UFC’s light-heavyweight champion, was in need of an opponent after Jon Jones was potentially popped by USADA.

Silva, a former UFC middleweight champion, has long been regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time but is currently in the winter of his career having lost his belt Chris Weidman and subsequently to Michael Bisping earlier this year.

The fight will be a 3 round attraction.

UFC 200 takes place at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas on Saturday with Mark Hunt vs. Brock Lesnar as the headlining bout.
