UFC Fighter Requests Release, Anderson Silva Budweiser Commercial, UFC 181 Weigh Ins

- Former UFC Middleweight champion Anderson Silva is featured in a new Budweiser commercial. You can see the video above.

Silva is scheduled to face Nick Diaz at UFC 183 next month.

- UFC fighter Cung Le has requested his release from the promotion. This comes weeks after having his suspension for a failed drug test rescinded by the company. Le was suspended for testing positive for HGH following his UFC Fight Night 48 loss to Michael Bisping.

Shortly after the results were made public, it was revealed that the test was being disputed, as the lab that handled it was not WADA approved. A backup blood sample was disposed of before a second drug test could be administered.

- The UFC 181 weigh-ins went off without a hitch Friday night, as all 24 fighters showed up on weight. We'll have full live coverage of UFC 181 tomorrow night, as well as a preview tomorrow morning.
