“I don’t have a love-hate relationship with anyone (laughs). I have my own opinion about him (Dana). I think he's like that. When you sign a contract, your lawyer sees it, the UFC lawyer sees it, and everything you want is there, everything is fine. If it's not the way I want it, the contract comes and goes. And that’s what happened”, said the Brazilian.
The biggest name in the history of the organization's middleweights (up to 83,9kg), 'Spider', however, questioned certain actions by White. For the combatant, the agent, at certain moments, placed himself in the condition of a fighter, which, for the São Paulo native, complicated the relationship.
“Sometimes, he put himself in the position of a fighter, who never went up (to the octagon) to take a punch, never took a pinch, and talking nonsense. There were things he couldn't even talk about. He couldn't open his mouth, because he couldn't talk about it. He understands behind the scenes, but he's never gone up there to get kicked in the legs, never been hit with a 'Bahiana', never been slapped in the face. Are you going to talk nonsense? I really hit it head on,” he concluded.
Considered one of the greatest phenomena in the history of the sport, Anderson recently confirmed his retirement from mixed martial arts. The Brazilian left the sport at the age of 46, with 34 wins, 11 losses and one 'fight without result'.
