Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a hit. After supposed “rejections” from Bellator, PFL, ONE Championship, and BKFC most recently, one organization expressed willingness to sign the aging Anderson Silva.
In a recent interview with MyMMANews, RIZIN founder and president Nobuyuki Sakakibara explained why he’s opening his company’s doors for the 45-year-old “Spider.”
“I have great memories with Anderson Silva during the PRIDE days and in my personal opinion, I think his career took off in Japan. I have heard that Japan has a special part in his heart as well,” Sakakibara said.
