A quick check at the former UFC heavyweight champion’s website shows that he’s gonna be back in the octagon for UFC 81. Opponent hasn’t been confirmed, but all signs point to Nogueira. From Sylvia’s site:

I just want to apologize to everybody that i haven’t been on my website or MySpace in a while. I just moved to a new house and don’t have internet yet, because they have to run a new cable. So, I’m hoping in the next couple of weeks it will be up and running.

Just found out I’m fighting February 2nd, on the Super Bowl show in Las Vegas. I can’t say who I’m fighting yet, but I’ll let you all know as soon as I can.

Deer season went really well. I’m back in training now, been training for the last three weeks. -Tim
