More detail
UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva was recently interviewed by Brazilian cable channel SporTV. The TV show [Sensei SporTV], featuring Spider, will air on September 27, but the editors released a shocking excerpt from the interview with Silva, when the champion spoke on his retirement from MMA:
"I'll retire next year, I already gave my all. I don't need to prove anything for anyone and within one year I'll put my gloves aside."
Ana Hissa, the editor who contacted us with this breaking news, was emphatic, saying that Silva mentioned retirement several times. This was unimaginable for them because Silva is in the best stage of his career and is the king pin of UFC's 185 pounds division.
We where unable to reach the fighter to add more on this bombastic interview or to know if he'll leave MMA and move to Pro Boxing.
Probably a psyche job. Anderson would be crazy to quit now with all the cash opportunities available to him.
