UFC president Dana White was confident that Anderson Silva would make his return to the Octagon by the end of 2014, but the former champion isn’t that optimistic.
Slowly returning to training after suffering a gruesome injury against Chris Weidman atUFC 168 in December, Silva expects to fight again in 2015.
"These rumors that I’ll fight at UFC 181 or any other event around that date aren’t true," Silva told Combate. "This year is over for me. There’s a chance I’ll fight in the first half of 2015."
Whenever he returns to the cage, "The Spider" does not see himself fighting for the middleweight belt again.
"Anderson’s phase as the champion is over," he said. "Fighting for (the title) is a little far away from me."
Silva, who signed a 10-fight deal with the UFC right before suffering a leg injury against Weidman, expects to retire from the sport before his deal is done.
"I don’t see myself stopping (right now), but I don’t know if I will fulfill my 10-fight contract," he said. "My family has been asking me for years to stop fighting, and they need to understand that this is what I love to do and that I need to have my time. My goal in the sport was to become a reference in this sport, and I’m achieving this."
Bang says he always had intentions of starting his own gym. Seems like it was pretty amicable. He is sticking around to help Dillashaw until his fight at 173.
An article said faber decided to announce Ludwig's departure publicly and Ludwig was surprised since he wanted to wait a little bit.
“Anthony Pettis talks a lot,” Aldo on Thursday told MMAjunkie through an intepreter. “He goes to the media and says that he’ll fight me in any division, but then he knows that (UFC President) Dana (White) is not going to have him move down a weight because they want me to give up my belt. Also, I think he’s going to lose to Melendez, so then he’s going to have to move back a little bit, and our time to fight will have gone by.”
“Pettis likes to talk a lot, but he does very little. So for right now, the plan is for me to stay at 145 pounds and defend the belt because obviously Pettis is going to be on ‘TUF.’ He’ll have all that time while he’s shooting the show, and he already has a fight scheduled with Melendez, so we’ll have to wait and see.”
“Anthony Pettis talks a lot to people, but when it comes time to actually make the fight happen, he runs,” Aldo said.
JWP posted a pic with Faber and dudes were telling him to take Ludwig's place. I LOLed. JWP is a legend in my book as far as foreign Muay Thai goes, Ludwig is just a kickboxer that went to MMA.
Edit: Not to discredit Ludwig, as he probably brings valuable striking knowledge as a coach for MMA fighters, but dude is not and should not rep Muay Thai whatsoever.
