UFC 164 takes place Aug. 31 at Bradley Center with a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook. Henderson was scheduled to meet T.J.

This week’s Twitter Mailbag is still feeling a little of the old Chris Weidman – Anderson Silva hangover, but we also power through with discussions on Cristiane Justino , T.J. Grant , wild conspiracy theories and the ethics of two disabled fighters having at each other in a cage. Sound like fun? That’s because it is.

Is it because Anderson Silva is getting one after dropping his title
