BOSTON - MMA legend Wander Silva may have needed
crutches to make his way around this weekend's 2010 UFC Fan Expo Boston,
but that doesn't mean he's not already thinking about his next trip to
the cage.
"The Axe Murderer" on Friday told fans at a Fan Expo Q&A session that he was eyeing a return to action as soon as February.
And while an opponent has not yet been secured for his next fight, Silva
said he's got a list of idea in his mind that includes Chris Leben,
Vitor Belfort and Chael Sonnen.
