The move was first reported by brazilian website Tatame.com and then later confirmed by MMAjunkie.com with sources close to the fighters, however no reason for the move has been made or is clear as things stand.
This change in schedule means the fight has been pulled forward a month and now takes place on 8th June from Fortaleza, Brazil.
Cavalcante, a former strikeforce light heavyweight champion fights for the first time in the UFC following a year layoff after his win vs Mike Kyle in May 2012 was overturned after he tested positive for stanozolol. This is also the case for Silva who will return to the octagon following a failed drugs test in November 2012 due to a positive test for marijuana metabolites after his win over Stanislav Nedkov. That win was also overturned.
