silva, pls pls dont turn into gayweather..

Good to hear then. let’s just hope for the best 6 fights of Anderson’s career before he retires. I want Anderson to fight the cream of the crop at 205 lbs at least before he retires because there’s literally nothin’ left for him at MW…

He will “retire” into a different field of fighting I bet.

He will do his boxing dream or maybe K1, i think his retirement is just from the UFC.

if its 6 fights left then theres no need to panic just yet, thats plenty of time for him to fight some of the best fighters on the planet!! Plus im almost ceertain he wont win them all, so that delay the proposed retirement, hers hoping anyway!! Lets get some quality fighters up against the spider at 205 and test this machine!!!!!!!

HE is not so good he has not fought anyone really really good give him THe LHW champ forrest G. or Rampage come on GSP will beat him

Silva will turn 35 in 18 months, add 12 months to that before he turns 36 yrs of age, so really there’s 2 1/2 years left and he can retire at 35 yrs of age. 6 fights with no injuries and all goes according to schedule.

Remember when everyone thought Chuck couldn’t be beat. Just wait, people will find a way to beat him look at the colts.

The Spider should fight the Incredible Hulk first before retiring. At least he’s pushing himself to the limit. Really haven’t seen the Spider’s face bloodied up. I think GSP could pose more of a threat than any of the elite 205 fighters in the UFC…in any case, feed Anderson to the wolves first before ending his contract.

Just so people remember, Anderson has to lose the MW title in his next 6 fights or the dreaded “champion’s clause” kicks in, where he can’t leave the UFC until he loses his belt. It’s another one of Dana’s sly moves. He had it put in place after BJ won the WW title then left the company to fight guys that couldn’t/wouldn’t come to the UFC, namely Gomi (whom BJ tooled BTW).

Nothing wrong with retiring as the greatest middleweight of his time. I’m sure if he just keeps on fighting and fighting, someone will beat him (again).

UFC should treat the best mma fighter better.. pay anderson more…otherwise he should just follow his dream and fight Roy Jones in boxing.where he would at least get 3 million dollars..which is a smart thing to do(business wise) rather than get 250T per fight….
been reading sports illustrated and im really surprised basketball football tennis, golf.f1 and boxing get tons of cash.while in MMA Dana White has been preaching that mma would be the next NBA so and so…but mma is still soooo far away from mainsteam sports as far as salaries go….

this is how it should be if they would get paid like they should.. as everyone is getting better we will see that the best fighters are the young ones who have the bodies to compete and train the right way, then when they get old like 35-36 they have already made their money and it’s time to step down..

Anderson silva will hopefully old both belts if he fights another 6 fights! sweet..

I say if their not going to feed Chuck to Anderson Silva next then give him the winner of Evans/Forrest so he can be the first person to hold 2 UFC belts at one time.

hook to the rib spider!! he’s leaving it wide open!!
