Four Fighters Turned Down Silva Before Irvin Accepted

Jesse Holland (MMAmania.com): Wait a second, four people were offered this fight and said no?

James Irvin: I was very surprised myself and to be honest I was kind of let down by one or two of the names. I thought they would have done very well in this fight.

Jesse Holland (MMAmania.com): Wow, who was the most surprising name?

James Irvin: Uh, well most of them are buddies of mine so I’m gonna leave that be. I’m sure it will come out over time. Not that it really matters, all that matters is who said yes. I didn’t hesitate for a second. It’s funny I had actually talked to (UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva a week prior to all this and I told him I want to fight Wanderlei Silva and he told me Wanderlei wasn’t fighting until December. I told him, in fact I begged him for a top ten opponent. A week later I’m fighting Anderson Silva
War Irvin, but I wonder who turned down Silva? or why?

Twist of Suffy is the European Champion
I'm guessing Stephan Bonnar as one of my guesses.

I mean, I would have accepted, dangerous or not. Wold have been a great way to make yourself known. What if Irvin beats Silva?
