Nothing like one day after another. If Anderson Silva he had everything he wanted when he boasted his records when he was UFC middleweight champion (83,9kg), precisely at the end of his career, he seems to have become persona non grata in the MMA community. Upon being released from his contract with the UFC, 'Spider' celebrated and thought it would only be a matter of time before he found a new organization, but the opposite happened. In addition to Bellator and PFL, ONE Championship also reported that it has no interest in the veteran.
In a statement sent to the North American website fightful, Chatri Sityodtong, president of the Asian company, like others, praised the Brazilian, but informed that the health of the athletes is a priority for him.

“I'm a big fan of Anderson. Without a doubt, he was one of the best in history. That said, athlete safety is priority number one at ONE. As such, we will not seek services from him. I wish Anderson much happiness and success in everything he does from now on,” said Sityodtong.
The retrospect of Anderson Silva, 45 years old, is not good. In the last nine fights he fought, the former middleweight champion was defeated seven times. 'Spider's' only victory came in 2017, against Derek Brunson. However, the veteran still thinks about continuing acting.
