UFC to announce Wanderlei Silva's first opponent tonight

UFC has just notified me that president Dana White will be making an appearance tonight on Spike TV's Scream 2007 show to announce Wanderlei Silva's first UFC opponent.

Speculation has been rampant regarding Silva's debut ever since he was signed to the promotion a couple of months ago. Most rumors have centered around him debuting against former UFC light heavyweight champ Chuck Liddell at UFC 79.

Scream 2007 will air tonight at 10 p.m. EST.
