Update: Anderson Silva will now be fighting Forrest Griffin at UFC 101

Ready yourselves for a spot o’ tea and combat as the world’s premier MMA promotion returns to UK territory with UFC 103 on September 26th of this year.

MMABay is reporting that the Ultimate Fighting Championship will introduce their next event across the pond with Anderson “The Spider” Silva as the headliner. Silva, who recently defeated Thales Leites in a lackluster fight, will defend his middleweight belt. Surely, our mates of the Kingdom will expect more out of the 185 lbs. champ than he has exuded in the last two outings.

As for a venue, there has not been a confirmed stadium announced as of yet, however we will continue to provide you details as they arise. Althought the fight card is a mystery beyond Silva, we imagine Paul Taylor could be called to action, should he best his opponent at UFC 99.
