It’s tough for Anderson Silva to use the word retirement when he’s still not finished pursuing his combat sports career.
Regarded as one of the greatest UFC champions of all time, the 46-year-old Brazilian was released from the promotion following a TKO loss to Uriah Hall this past October. But at the time, he wasn’t quite ready to commit to the end of his MMA career.
Now, seven months later, Silva has reconciled with putting MMA behind him, though his combat sports career isn’t finished. He’s currently scheduled for a boxing match against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
