He wanted a shot at Silva at 185. They've decided to bring him in at 170.

Match and date to be announced shortly, but he's going to get a contender.

UFC basically traded 40-yr old Dan Henderson for 31-yr old Jake Shields, with Sheilds dominating Henderson head-to-head.

Dana White is always right.
