At 40 years of age, Anderson Silva is more focused than ever on getting back to the top and retaking the UFC middleweight belt. This is what the organization's director in Brazil, Giovani Decker, guarantees, who stated that he has never seen the fighter as determined as he is today.

Decker said he was amazed at “Spider’s” focus for his next fight, against Michael Bisping, which, according to the manager, could bring him closer to the opportunity he dreamed of. “Anderson, beating Bisping, enters the race strong. I've never seen him so strong. I was impressed, he only talks about belt, belt and belt. He texts me every day with videos of his training. I’m impressed with his desire to have the belt again”, said Decker, in an interview with the “Revista Combate” program.

Anderson will return to the Octagon on February 27th, in the main fight of UFC Fight Night London, against Englishman Bisping. It will be “Spider’s” first fight since January last year, since, since then, he has been serving a suspension after being caught in an anti-doping test. The Brazilian was middleweight champion between 2006 and 2013, beating names like Chael Sonnen, Dan Henderson, Vitor belfort e Demian Maia.
