Anderson Silva

Anderson Silva continues to deliver verbal shots at the UFC and the promotion’s president, Dana White.

Recently Silva demanded that the UFC grant him a bout with Yoel Romero for an interim middleweight fight, after criticizing the promotion’s decision to grant Georges St-Pierre a title shot. Since then, White has said that Silva will not face Romero for an interim belt.

The Brazilian star recently did a live stream from Combate, and while doing so, Silva said the following (quote via MMA Junkie):

“To make matters even worse, he – ‘The Almighty’ – does the following: He brings in a guy who came out of retirement, who’s not from the division and gets him to fight for the belt,” Silva said. “But how does he take a guy who’s coming out of retirement, who’s not in the division – he’s going to have an excuse for that, OK? I’m warning you – to fight for the belt with a guy who won a fight on the scorecards and lost another one via knockout?

“With a guy who allegedly, in his last interview, said he’s ready to fight. And didn’t get him to fight with the No. 1 ranked guy, who’s Yoel Romero. The whole thing is bull(expletive).”

Silva is coming off a decision win over Derek Brunson, after dropping consecutive bouts to Daniel Cormier and Bisping.
