Through his Instagram account, Anderson responded to a fan, who questioned whether he was physically well enough to fight again.
“I have a knee operation. I must return next year to finish the contract. I have two more fights on my UFC contract,” Silva wrote on his social media account.

Anderson Silva
Greatest champion in middleweight history (up to 83.9 kg.), with title defenses, and considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, Anderson Silva 44 years old, he is not experiencing a great moment in his career. Involved in two doping scandals, since breaking his leg in December 2013, fighting against Chris Weidman at UFC 168, he recorded just one victory in seven appearances. The last time Spider left the octagon with his arm raised was at UFC 208, in February 2007, when he defeated Derek Brunson in the unanimous decision.
The Brazilian has a record of 34 wins, 10 losses and one No Contest.
