MMAweekly.com had previously speculated that he would defend his title against Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga it seem to have been removed. It was earlier speculated he would fight Brandon Vera but that fight will only take place if Brandon signs another contract with the UFC and there are rumors that PrideFC has made him a better offer but regardless Tim "zzzzzz" Sylvia will be defending his title in March (Maybe if Cro Cop KOs his UFC 67 opponent in quick enough fashion with no injury they might rush him into a title shot who knows)
Edit: Reports are in and according to MMAweekly.com and Sherdog.som Tim Sylvia will be defending his belt against Randy "The Natural" Couture, I for one think that Dana White watched "Rocky Balboa" one to many times but it is supposed to be annouced this thursday on "Inside the UFC". Good Luck Randy

UFC 68 is to take place on March 3rd thies year in The Nationwide Arena Ohio.
Tim Silvia will be fighting - I would imagine that this i a title defense - however no opponent has been announced.
The same goes for Matt Hughes and Rich Franklin - by the look of it- Fights arranged - but no opponent. These are obviously not title fights though.
Expect a full card next month

So far all the competitors are to be determined. The fighters that are fighting are Tim Silva, Rich Franklin, and Matt Hughes. Joseph B is right on with what the "gossip" is.

Looks like Sylvia will be defending his title and Hughes and Franklin get some tuner fights.

All I know is they better give that title fight against Tim Silvia to Brandon Vera...he deserves it. I bet Brandon Vera beats Tims a ss.

I think the only title match would be for the Heavy weight belt.
