The American of Cuban origin said that Anderson Silva He is one of the few athletes who deserve to have all his wishes met by the UFC, as the Brazilian made a lot of money for the company. He said that Anderson's treatment by Ultimate was unfair.
"Anderson Silva He was one of the greatest champions in UFC history. If someone like him isn't happy with Ultimate, I think that says a lot about the relationship with the fighters. Of all the people the UFC interacts with, why not make someone like Anderson Silva happy? This guy gave a lot of money to the organization. Give him whatever he wants. We are talking about Anderson Silva”, commented Masvidal to the North American website MMA Junkie, saying afterwards that he hopes for a chance at the belt of Tyron woodley if he beats Demian next Saturday (13).
“Maia should have already fought for the title, he is number one in the category by a long shot. And people keep asking me if I think I'll get a title shot if I win. God willing, I will win, and if they don't give me this opportunity, I will know that the sport has become a circus, it has ended.
