Anderson Silva is anxious to reclaim his UFC middleweight title from Chris Weidman . In fact, the 38-year-old expects it to be just one of the nine remaining fights he plans to fulfill on his existing contract. Just prior to this past weekend’s announcement that Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) vs. Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC) II will take place Dec. 28 as UFC 168′s pay-per-view headliner at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, the ex-champ’s manager, Ed Soares, told AXS TV’s ” Inside MMA ” that the fighter is anxious to reclaim his belt. Silva, of course, suffered a shocking second-round TKO loss to Weidman on July 6 at UFC 162. It ended the longtime champion’s streak of 16 consecutive UFC wins and 10 straight title defenses
