Dana White regrets allowing Anderson Silva to compete at UFC Vegas 12: ‘I’ll never let him fight here again’

Anderson Silva’s career with the UFC is apparently finished whether he retires or not.

The former middleweight champion suffered a fourth-round TKO loss to Uriah Hall on Saturday night in what had been billed as the final fight of his career. Despite a seventh defeat in his past nine fights, Silva was still hesitant to actually announce that he was hanging up his gloves for good.

Following the event, UFC president Dana White was frustrated that Silva refused to actually confirm his retirement, especially after they had made an agreement leading into the fight.
