Anderson Silva, "I am 200% healthy, no injury"

In an interview with Fighters Only Magazine Anderson Silva said that he was not having surgery and he was interested in fighting Frank Mir. Here is some of the article from Fighters Only where Silva touches on the issues:

“I don’t know anything at all about any elbow injury,” he said, adding with a laugh, “I wonder who hurt me?”

The UFC is set to match Frank Mir against Cheick Kongo in a heavyweight clash at UFC 107. Anderson had been quoted as saying he wanted to fight Mir at heavyweight and he is still ready for that match.
