A light heavyweight bout between Brandon Vera and Thiago Silva is in the works for UFC 125, in a fight that could be a "must-win" for both fighters.
Vera will look to avoid losing his third fight in a row, after dropping contests to Randy Couture and Jon Jones.
Silva has gone 1-2 in his last three fights, and will try and rebound from a unanimous decision loss to Rashad Evans.
