According to
MMA Junkie, the dominant UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will make his light heavyweight debut at UFC Fight Night 14 on the 19th of July.
Hermes Franca and Frankie Edgar are also scheduled to fight on the card.
The fight is an interesting move for Silva, who's reach advantage in the middleweight division may not be such a factor against the taller fighters in the stacked Light Heavyweight class. He will also be facing many physically stronger fighters including Chuck Liddel, Quinton Jackson, Wanderlei Silva and Forrest Griffin to name a few.
