Former undisputed UFC middleweight champion and incoming Hall of Fame inductee, Anderson Silva has confirmed that he is currently holding talks with an unspecified promotion in Japan – to make his final outing in mixed martial arts competition.
Silva, 48, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the UFC, departed the Dana White-led promotion back in October 2020, suffering an eventual fourth round TKO loss to the now-retired, Uriah Hall in a headlining clash. The loss came as Silva’s third consecutively.
Returning to combat sports back in June 2021 in a professional boxing capacity, Anderson Silva travelled to Mexico, landing a one-sided split decision win over former world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
