I thought I just heard Mike Goldberg that it'll happen at UFC 128, which is just six weeks away.
I thought they announced May, the Evans/Shogun fight was to be in March

Yeah. I'm confused right now. Why wasn't there a report on Evans blowing his knee out? Did it happen 3 mins. before Jones won the bout?

Perhaps they didn't want to announce it untill they knew Shogun's new opponent?
Sonnen needs to get his legal issues settled so he can face Anderson again.

Anderson is on his way to a fight with GSP in Canada later this year.
That was a sick knockout by Silva though!

One thing that surprised me was Dana White saying they didn't have a back-up plan if Jones had lost to Bader. Hadn't Bader earned a title fight if he would've been Jones (and say with ease?). It's a moot point though since Jones did win.
Rampage Jackson was first offered the title shot but he said he wanted to be in top shape in a title fight. How does everyone see the light heavyweight title situation turning out?
I'm thinking if Rampage beats Thiago Silva, he'll fight the winner of Jon Jones/Shogun. But then again, if Shogun wins, would Rashad Evans get his title shot? If Jones wins, a representative of Evans said that Evans would either move up to heavyweight, or down to middleweight. If Silva beats Jackson, and Jones beats Shogun, who gets the title shot? The winner of Lyoto Machida and Randy Couture? What about if GSP happens to lose to Jake Shields, Anderson Silva moving up to face Jones?
