UFC drops MMA legend Anderson Silva after most recent misfortune
Probably the best warrior in UFC history is no longer with the UFC.
Anderson Silva, once the longtime UFC middleweight champion, was formally dropped by the promotion following 14 years of battling in the Octagon, as per ESPN’s Marc Raimondi. Silva actually had one battle left on his agreement, yet has now apparently been released.
The decision comes after a definitive misfortune against Uriah Hall that was seen by numerous individuals as Silva’s last go-around with the UFC, however the warrior has so far held off on formally considering it a vocation. UFC president Dana White was especially resolute that Silva would at this point don’t battle with the advancement, and repeated that notion to TMZ on Thursday.
Silva, who is 45 years of age, has recorded just a solitary triumph in his last nine battles, a range of seven years. White purportedly considered Silva a lock of the UFC Hall of Fame, however it shows up there’s no room in the UFC for the warrior that Silva is currently.
With the UFC previously shutting its ways to Silva, Bellator president Scott Coker suggested that his advancement isn’t keen on getting Silva as a free specialist, per ESPN’s Ariel Helwani.
That would preclude the two greatest MMA advancements, however there are consistently more modest activities out there who may be keen on a warrior whose prominence has never been being referred to, particularly in his local Brazil.
There’s likewise the ever-present chance of retirement, and if that is the course Silva takes, it’s the finish of a genuinely amazing vocation for a man who started his UFC profession with a record 16 straight triumphs.
