Anderson (right) denies changing categories and says he will remain in the middleweight division
After several rumors involving a possible change of category from Brazilian Anderson Silva, the “Spider”, as he is known, made a point of denying the speculation and guaranteed that he will remain in the middleweight division.
Anderson's physiotherapist, Ângela Cortez, revealed in an interview with Sportv that, after speaking with the fighter, the news about a possible confrontation against the Canadian Georges St Pierre are not true, as the weight cut depends on an assessment by your entire team.
“In light of so much speculation recently released by the specialized media about the current UFC middleweight champion dropping weight to fight in the under-77kg category, I can say that, after talking to Anderson, there is currently no possibility of this change happening, as No decision is made without planning and evaluation by the team, considering the athlete as a whole. Therefore, Anderson Silva will continue to fight in the 84kg category, as UFC middleweight champion,” said Ângela Cortez.
