No big surprise here, as Anderson Silva has been quite vocal with his anger at the UFC for not making an interim title fight between him and Yoel Romero at UFC 212 – Silva is now officially off of that card. Here is the UFC’s official release:
“Following the April 6 removal of Kelvin Gastelum from his UFC 212 bout against Anderson Silva, UFC officials attempted to find a replacement to meet Silva on June 3. However an opponent was not secured to face the former middleweight champion on short notice, prompting his removal from the card at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
