During a Q&A session before Friday’s UFC 106 weigh-ins, White revealed that the matchup would likely take place in February,which includes UFC 109 on February 6 in Las Vegas as well as UFC 110. Then, in an appearance on MMAjunkie Radio, White said that the fight wouldn’t take place UFC 109, which is scheduled to be headlined by middleweight champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belort, leaving UFC 110 as the likely card.

Wanderlei Silva had been expected to make his middleweight debut against Yoshihiro Akiyama in the UFC 110 headliner, but White indicated on Friday that the promotion was “moving things around” and that the bout may not take place on the card.

St-Pierre (19-2) is currently riding a six-fight winning streak that includes title defenses over BJ Penn and Thiago Alves in 2009, but has been sidelined since July due to a groin injury suffered in his unanimous decision win over Alves at UFC 100.

Hardy (23-6) earned a shot at St-Pierre earlier this month with a unanimous decision win over Mike Swick at UFC 105, his seventh-straight win and fourth-straight inside the Octagon.

The matchup, originally rumored for UFC 108 in January, would be featured on the UFC 109 card or could potentially headline the UFC’s Australian debut.

Akiyama (13-1), who is unbeaten since a 2005 loss to Jerome LeBanner, made his UFC debut in July with a unanimous decision victory over Alan Belcher at UFC 100. “Sexyama,” whose notable wins include Denis Kang and Melvin Manhoef, won the K-1 HERO’s Light Heavyweight Tournament in 2006 and recently picked up back-to-back wins in DREAM.

Silva (32-10-1), a former PRIDE champion, will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since undergoing surgery on his face to remove scar tissue and will also be making his debut at 185-pounds against Akiyama.”The Axe Murderer” has lost five of his past six fights, defeating Keith Jardine via first-round knockout last May while suffering losses to the likes of Chuck Liddell, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and most-recently Rich Franklin in June.

Tompkins said the Japanese-Korean middleweight is expected to stay the entire month with the team and will focus on “refining his striking” with the coach and Vitor Belfort, who is slated to face UFC 185-pound champion Anderson Silva in January.

“He is a great person and fighter and has a very slick aggressive style,” said Tompkins. “I would like to help him with his defense.”

Tompkins told Sherdog that he did not know who or when Akiyama would be fighting next, but Bloody Elbow’s Luke Thomas tweeted on Monday that Akiyama could fight Wanderlei Silva at UFC 108 on January 2 in Las Vegas.

The UFC 100 fighters which were tested were Frank Mir, Brock Lesnar, Georges St-Pierre, Thiago Alves, Shannon Gugerty, Jon Fitch, Dan Henderson, Yoshihiro Akiyama, Mark Coleman, Tom Lawlor, Jon Jones, Dong Hyun Kim, and Dan Miller.

All of the fighters except Mir and Alves, who co-headlined the event against Lesnar and St-Pierre respectively, were winners at the pay-per-view event.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission released the official fighter salaries on Monday for the pay-per-view event, which took place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas in front of 11,000 fans for a $5.1 million live gate.

As previously reported, Lesnar received $400,000 to show with no win bonus for his second-round knockout of Frank Mir ($45,000) in the evening’s headliner. St-Pierre’s salary was comprised equally of a $200,000 is show money and a $200,000 win bonus for his unanimous decision victory over Thiago Alves ($60,000).

Dan Henderson ($250,000), Michael Bisping ($150,000), and Mark Coleman ($100,000) were also among the top salaries for the historic card, which drew widespread mainstream media coverage and could surpass 1.5 million PPV buys.

Remember, the salaries listed below are simply the figures the UFC is required to report to the NSAC and do not include sponsorships, ‘fight night’ bonuses, portions of pay-per-view revenue, which are received by top fighters such as Lesnar and St-Pierre, nor miscellaneous fees and taxes. For example, Lesnar, who officially earned $400,000, reportedly received more than $3 million from the UFC alone for his UFC 100 fight before his sponsorship revenue is included.

The total disclosed payroll for UFC 100 came in just shy of $1.8 million at $1,790,000.

The official salaries for UFC 100, as reported to the NSAC, were:

• Brock Lesnar ($400,000 – no win bonus) def. Frank Mir ($45,000)

The $100,000 bonuses are the biggest ever awarded for the traditional post-fight awards.

Akiyama and Belcher received “Fight of the Night” honors for their three-round battle, which saw Belcher connect with leg kicks at will that left “Sexyama” limping, while Akiyama’s multiple takedowns were enough to earn him to victory.

Henderson earned “Knockout of the Night” with a highlight reel knockout of rival Michael Bisping in the second-round of their featured main card bout. After dominating Bisping throughout the opening round, Henderson stalked Bisping in the second looking for a knockout opportunity before connecting with a right that collapsed Bisping to the canvas and following it up with a brutal flying elbow that left Bispng unconscious for nearly a minute.

“Submission of the Night” went to “Filthy” Tom Lawlor for his 55-second guillotine choke submission of CB Dollaway on the UFC 100 prelimiary card.

Despite his dominant performance, Lesnar earned little respect from fans after confronting a still-dazed Mir in the cage before flipping off the crowd and belittling top UFC sponsor Bud Light in a pro wrestling-esque post-fight speech.

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre retained the 170-pound title by dominating top-contender Thiago Alves en-route to a clear unanimous decision victory. St-Pierre, who neutralized Alves’ striking throughout the contest and used a series of takedowns to earn the win, will meet the winner of Mike Swick vs. Martin Kampmann in his next title defense.

Former PRIDE champion Dan Henderson likely earned another crack at the middleweight title currently held by Anderson Silva with a highlight reel second-round knockout of Michael Bisping. After picking Bisping apart during the first round, Henderson stalked the UK fighter in the second before connecting with a brutal right that collapsed Bisping to the canvas then followed it up with another huge right on the ground that left Bisping unconscious for nearly a minute before he staggered back to reality.

Jon Fitch and Yoshihiro Akiyama were also victorious on the main card, earning decision victories, while Mark Coleman and Jon Jones were the big winners on the evening’s preliminary card.
