RIO DE JANEIRO – Anderson Silva claims he has no desire to fight Luke Rockhold or Vitor Belfort at UFC 212 in June. Yoel Romero or Nick Diaz , however, do garner his interest. Silva (34-8 MMA, 17-4 UFC), the former longtime UFC middleweight champion, was originally scheduled to fight Kelvin Gastelum in the co-headliner of UFC 212, which takes place June 3 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Unfortunately, “The Ultimate Fighter 17” winner was recently pulled from the contest due to a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency violation for marijuana metabolites . Since Silva lost his opponent, a number of names have come to light as potential replacements
