Silva's belts at the UFC?

I'm just wondering if Dana and friends discouraged Silva from bring his Pride GP and Middleweight belts to Vegas.

He obviously would have gotten a much better crowd reaction, if he walked into the ring with those 2 badass championship belts.

However, then Zuffa would have to explain where he got those belts...and that wouldnt be good.

yea, if silva had his 2 belts and chuck had his belt over his shoulder it would have been TOTALLY AWSOME

very WWE, but AWSOME NONE THE LESS
