Former UFC middleweight champion and Hall of Famer Anderson Silva was released from his UFC contract following a series of losses, and now that he doesn’t have any business with the organisation anymore, he openly criticizes them for anything bad they do.

Recently it was revealed that another UFC Hall of Famer, Georges St-Pierre was offered to fight the boxing legend, Oscar De La Hoya, in a boxing match, but UFC President Dana White completely avoided this match from happening. It was a huge opportunity for St-Pierre both money-wise and career-wise and Silva have claimed that it was a completely terrible decision.

“I think it no make sense, especially because Georges did a lot for the sport, especially for UFC,” Silva said. “Why you hold the guy? This no makes sense…”

“Georges is a fighter. You can’t hold a fighter. It’s the same if you take the lion in the jungle and put him inside the cage. The lion is going to die. You can’t do that. Nobody can do that. This makes no sense. This is terrible, terrible. Completely terrible.”

“Georges worked hard to make a lot of things for UFC,” Anderson Silva praised Georges St Pierre for what he’s done for the company

St Pierre and Silva are huge stars, and both of them are considered to be the best to ever do it, Silva accepted that St Pierre opened a lot of opportunities for the UFC, and to treat him like this was very unfortunate.

“First of all, I think when you do your job, especially fight in the level me and Georges do it, people need to respect. Georges worked hard to make a lot of things for UFC. It makes no sense, Dana White holding Georges St-Pierre.”

He continued, “I have my personal opinion about Dana, and I’m not anymore in UFC. I don’t like to talk about UFC because everything I do inside UFC is done for me. I do my best, I put in my heart in the company but now it’s a page in my life that’s done.”
