UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva recently told Fighters Only that he didn’t have elbow surgery and was interested in fighting former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir.

Silva said:

“I don’t know anything at all about any elbow injury. I wonder who hurt me? I’m 200 percent healthy and there’s no injury. UFC can set the next fight whenever they want, I’m ready. I’m interested in fighting Frank Mir. He can be the next one.”

Frank Mir is currently scheduled to take on Cheick Kongo at UFC 107 in December.

It will be interesting to see if the UFC will allow Silva to make the jump to heavyweight in the near future.
