Anderson Silva is getting back into the Octagon this February in London
He beat Nick Diaz by unanimous decision, but it was ruled a no contest after both fighters tested positive for PEDs. Mousasi is expected to remain on the card, though no opponent has been named.

Skier Marcel Hirscher nearly hit by camera drone in World Cup slalom
Hirscher reclaimed the overall World Cup lead from Aksel Lund Svindal, who no longer races slalom. The International Ski Federation announced that camera drones are now banned from all its events.
But speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon on “CNN Tonight” Wednesday evening, Carson said the stories had been overhyped, repeatedly calling out the Post for its “sensationalism” and insisting that no changes had been finalized. “And they were convinced that I was gonna fire everybody and we were going to just go in a completely different direction, and that’s absolutely not true”.
In an interview with the Associated Press at his Maryland home – conducted without the knowledge of his own campaign manager – Carson said “personnel changes” could be coming, suggesting he is about to sideline his top aides. He was coy and responded by saying changes could come as soon as “tomorrow” and certainly before the Iowa caucuses on February 1.
But in Wednesday’s interviews, Carson sounded genuinely concerned with his campaign’s spending choices, telling the AP, “Yes, we’ve had enormous fundraising, but that requires that you be efficient in the way you utilize the funds”.
The statement added that his senior team “remains in place with my full confidence, and they will continue to execute our campaign plan”.
“We need to maximize our efficiency, maximize our outreach, look at the things that brought us success, look at the things that caused us to fall, and react to those things in an appropriate way”, Carson said. “But that’s what politicians do”. When national security and foreign policy issues rose to the forefront of the GOP race after terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, Carson, who had not emphasized such issues in his platform and has struggled while discussing the topics, dropped in the polls.
Giles said on Wednesday that he was not in any talks to return to Carson’s side.
An adviser told The Hill on Wednesday that Carson is on pace to raise about $23 million in the fourth quarter – an astounding sum likely to exceed his third quarter haul.
In recent weeks, Carson’s campaign has been hit with questions about his biography and his comments about Muslims and Syrian refugees.
“The key thing for me right now is just to dispel the rumor that I don’t know anything about foreign policy”, he told reporters Monday in Manchester, New Hampshire.
But in his later statement, Carson played down any suggestion that heads would roll. Meanwhile, primary rival Cruz has seized the moment with bombastic national security rhetoric.
