From Sherdog.com:
TOKYO -- Yoshihiro Akiyama announced Tuesday that he will be facing Wanderlei Silva next in a middleweight bout at UFC 110 on Feb. 6 in Las Vegas or at UFC 111, which is rumored to mark the promotion’s debut in Sydney, Australia, in late February.
Akiyama shared the news Tuesday during a news conference for the UFC’s “Undisputed†video game release.
The Japanese-Korean fighter, who was a former star for the Dream and K-1 Hero’s promotions, signed with the UFC in February.
Akiyama took a close split decision victory over Alan Belcher at UFC 100 last July in Las Vegas. The three-round slugfest earned the duo “Fight of the Night†honors and a hefty $100,000 bonus each from the promotion.
