Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall of Famer Anderson
Silva still is not seeing eye-to-eye with his former boss.
Speaking to Rolling Stone recently, UFC President and CEO Dana
White spoke about a myriad of issues. One included the end of the
career of Silva, which White claimed did not go well. In addition
to the number of losses that Silva accrued consecutively, White
suggested that “The Spider” was difficult to deal with from a
negotiating perspective.
Consider it just another day for “The Spider,” who responded
directly to a post by “Canal Punch” about
Dana’s comments on Instagram. In Portuguese, Silva repeatedly
referred to White as “the bald guy” while dismissing most of what
White had to say.
The bald guy
“The bald guy saying s–t,” Silva remarked. “I’ve been out of the
organization for many years, but it seems neither the current
fighters nor the bald guy can forget my achievements. Deep down,
the bald guy knows that with me there was no whining, everyone got
beaten up and I saved events more than once. And just so you know,
the bald guy doesn’t seem to know how to count.”
In regards to his last comment, Silva was replying to White stating
that the Brazilian lost “eight, nine or 10 [fights] in a row” in
his final stretch with the UFC. Since losing his belt to Chris
Weidman at UFC 126 in 2013, Silva competed eight more times in
MMA. He only won one of those encounters, but only departed on a
three-bout skid.
