Any comments from Rich on Silva yet?

On how he feels about Silva and what his gameplan is? I haven't seen one interview yet

He is probably too busy being a stone pimp, to worry about it... or give interviews.

I haven't heard anything other than Silva saying he deserves the title shot. I just hope Rich is fully recovered from all his injuries.

IMO its bull shit that Silva is getting a tilte shot. There is other fighters that are just as deserving if not more.

I wish that Rich was fighting someone else first after his recovery from the broken hand to get back his game, but he's the champ and needs to defend it against all challengers.

If only Franklin was in Pride.

He could just fight non-title fights against cans.

I think Rich told Silva to go back to Japan, where the competition is weaker.

I think one reason they are fighting now is because this won't cost that much for the UFC.
They are still in Rich's relatively cheap long term deal and they are in Silva's second fight of his 3 fight deal. This fight will only cost like 60-70k for both fighters combined and this is a huge drawing fight i would imagine.
