Brazilian Chute Boxe fighter Thiago Silva (10-0) will return to the Octagon against Tomasz Drwal (13-1) of Poland in a UFC 75 light heavyweight clash, according to multiple international reports (here and here).
This will mark the second bout inside the Octagon for the undefeated Silva after his win over James Irvin at UFC 71 in May. Irvin, however, suffered a fight-ending knee injury during the first round -- not the sort of debut Silva and the fans had in mind.
Hard-hitting Drwal has been busy throughout Europe, compiling an impressive collection of stoppages -- he seems to stop most of his opponents via T(KO). However, he does have a decent amount of submission wins to his credit.
On paper it looks to be a solid match up that will more than likely end early for someone.
Not much seems to be known about either of these fighters here in the states. Therefore, check out the highlights below for a little taste of what to expect on September 8 at the 02 Arena in London, England.
