This is a big rumor going around with the fighters and it goes down like this........

The winner of the Chris Leben and Anderson Silva fight will fight the winner of another fight, which is rumored to be Mike Swick vs. Nathan Marquardt. The winner of that fight will be named the #1 Contender. The title fight for that would happen around late this year or early next year. The UFC brass wants to get the asskicking of TUF4 winner out of the way first and then Rich (if he is the champ) fight the #1 contender.
