Well this fuckin sucks. Does this mean the UFC substitutes him for some no name for Machida to fight, which will get him nowhere in the UFC rankings?

Machida vs. Gusmao?
Machida vs. Bones Jones?
Machida vs. Teixiera?

Moving Machida at this point makes the most sense. To fight Jackson/Shogun/Wanderlei.

Machida vs. Gusmao?
Machida vs. Bones Jones?
Machida vs. Teixiera? | True, because even if he beat Silva, most likely they would make him fight atleast once more before awarding a title shot.
I'd like to see him fight Jon Jones now, or Sandman
