Anderson “The Spider” Silva, considered by many as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, last fought against Uriah Hall on the first of November. Many thought it would be the Brazilian’s last match, as Anderson himself hinted that it would probably be his last ride. But, it was the UFC President Dana White who initiated things saying that the UFC wouldn’t be offering Anderson another fight, even before the 45-year-old Brazilian could come up with a decision of his own.
More recently, Anderson Silva, currently on a vacation, took to Instagram to share a few words on his future in the sport, also taking a subtle dig at Dana White and the UFC.
“I still have the warrior spirit and that burning flame in my heart that motivates me” – Anderson Silva on Instagram
Anderson Silva captioned the post, “Hey everyone…I didn’t want to talk about this subject, especially because I’m on vacation and as the saying goes, “a deal is a deal”. I’ll make it clear to all my fans that this is a moment of joy and gratitude!!!I feel free, after an attempt to force my retirement!“
He concluded saying, “I love and have always loved what I do, winning and losing are a part of it, it has absolutely nothing to do with age, I made technical mistakes and lost, but I didn’t lose what’s most important, the will and the desire to continue doing what I love, I still have the warrior spirit and that burning flame in my heart that motivates me, I have total belief that I can continue to compete in the elite of MMA. I take this moment to reflect about my career and to plan my next moves… Stay Tuned!!!“
Was the UFC wrong to let Anderson Silva go? Do you think the MMA legend has still got it?
