According to FightTicker the two have been offered a spot against each other on the November card that will feature Couture/Lesnar.
MMARated.com is reporting that a light heavyweight bout between Rampage Jackson and Wanderlei Silva has been offered to both fighters for UFC 91.The show will be held on November 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas,NV.
The show's main event between the returning Randy Couture against Brock Lesnar has had the MMA world abuzz this week and the addition of this fight could only help draw even more PPV buys to what may already be a record number when all is said and done. The card will also feature a lightweight bout between Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson and a possible matchup between TUF season 7 winner Amir Sadollah and Nick Catone is also being rumored.
Silva has two previous victories against Rampage in the now defunct Pride organization.
It will be interesting to see which Rampage shows up. Will it be the man who rose to glory to defeat Chuck Liddell or will it be the disturbed man we have seen lately? I personally hope that Jackson can work through all of his troubles and give us a performance that could lead to "Fight of the Night" honors.
This could make for a great start to a huge card. It'd be really interesting to see if Rampage can really be in the right mental state to take a fight with Silva by November, given all of his problems of late. But if it goes, that'd be two huge fights to look forward to.

Dam its a tough comeback fight for Rampage. I don't know if he'll be ready to fight the guy who beat him so bad in the first two fights.
Even if it he hadn't had a breakdown I'd still go for Wand in this with it I'm not sure if he'll even last through to the second.

Actually I was pulling for Wandy to face Machida and for Wandy to KO the hell out of Machida. But if you think about it, adding Rampage vs Wandy to UFC 91 along with Kenny vs Joe and Randy vs Lesnar, it will prolly be the biggest sell of ppv's

What an awesome card but bad fight for Rampage if he loses then the UFC could make it out like he is on his way out and there are so many fight that could make big ppv bucks and be exciting to watch for the both of them.

NO! not yet. If this fight needs to happen again, it should be later. If people want to see him fight a fight he's already fought, have it be shogun. Its a big risk with little gain situation for wandy. personally i think he has page's number and will keep beating him, but what does this fight do for wand? Maybe if it was for the belt......
