I've been reading this forum (on the WZ site as well) for a few months now & I keep seeing quotes that are given as fact when as far as I'm aware they're nothing more than rumours.

You know like Rampage joining the UFC blah, blah.

The 2 that I'm still unsure about is:

Anderson Silva joining the UFC?
&
TUF4 being for UFC vets?

Is there any definative facts to these or are they still just rumours?

[Alvin]

Incidentally the reason I list Silva joining the UFC as rumour is because I've seen that the UFC web site have announced he has joined them, but I have it on good authority (Alex de Souza, his UK agent) that nothing has been signed & that Silva is still mulling over contracts with the UFC, Cage Rage (who he is the current MW champion) & K-1.

Anderson Silva is signed. They jumped the gun originally announcing it, but I believe it's official now. I could be wrong though. Nothing is official until it happens though, whether there's a contract or not, so I guess just assume it's a rumor until his name is on a UFC card.

TUF 4 guys being vets, that's only a rumor but they're filming now and according to certain websites, they claim it's going to be vets. Jorge Rivera, Tony Fryklund, Dave Menne, Patrick Cote, Mikey Burnett, Matt Serra, Chris Lytle, and Jay Hieron are rumored to be on the show.

TUF4 with vets on it is confirmed many times by the UFC and Dana White.
