Anderson Silva’s all-time great career now rests on the shaky foundation of his word. Despite testing positive for four banned substances before and after his UFC 183 bout with Nick Diaz, the former middleweight champ still vehemently proclaims his innocence.
He recently fired back at his critics in a post on Instagram, which was translated by MMAFighting.com. According to Silva, he isn’t a cheater, and he has never relied on performance-enhancing drugs to fight. He encouraged naysayers to go back and watch his earlier bouts in Japan, where he often fought undersized.
