Anderson Silva In June 2018, he completed a 12-year history with 22 fights in Ultimate. At 43 years old, the Brazilian is coming from a bad moment in the organization in three matches, he only had one victory and was also suspended for a year after testing positive in an anti-doping test. In an interview with the website “BJPENN.com”, ‘Spider’ considered a third fight to complete the trilogy with his rival, Chael Sonnen.

“Oh! Perhaps . Yes. I don't know... Chael is a great fighter. People talk a lot about Chael, but Chael is a great man, a great guy, a beautiful family, you know? I respect Chael a lot,” Anderson said.
If he left Ultimate, Anderson's likely 'home' would be Bellator, the second largest MMA franchise in the world. One of the biggest fights available in the organization for him would be a rematch with Chael Sonnen, undeniably the main rival of his MMA career.
The two athletes faced each other in August 2010 at UFC 117 and in July 2012 at UFC 148. On both occasions the Brazilian won, either by knockout or submission.
