Former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva has not been shy of late when sharing his displeasure for the UFC.
Silva continued to criticize UFC President Dana White while ranting about the promotion in an Instagram live video.
“Now the almighty one, who everybody knows who it is, has to calm down and put Yoel Romero to fight,” Silva said about UFC President Dana White. “Now he has to put Yoel Romero to fight, and there is no excuse. He has no excuse to give. He has to put Yoel Romero to fight, because Yoel Romero is the No. 1 in the ranking, and (Michael) Bisping said he’s ready to fight. So, there’s no more talk. He has to put Yoel Romero to fight. Period.”
“Now he has to put Yoel Romero to fight, and there is no excuse. He has no excuse to give. He has to put Yoel Romero to fight, because Yoel Romero is the No. 1 in the ranking, and (Michael) Bisping said he’s ready to fight. So, there’s no more talk. He has to put Yoel Romero to fight. Period.”
Silva continued his rant and talked about why it is important for fighters to stick together when dealing with the UFC.
“In a way, I helped a fellow fighter, and I think that’s what we should do. It’s not about cursing at Dana White or fighting the (UFC brass). It’s not. It’s using what they are doing to us back against them. Dana, the almighty, shot himself in the foot.
“I’ll be honest with you. I don’t have any personal problem with him, but the problem is when it affects the fighters when it affects the fighters that leave home for three months to train, who train hard, who train injured, and who make it all happen. We are the ones who make the show happen, not him. No. He sits there and only books fight and stays there, brother. The truth is that this is a big joke that is happening, and it has to stop.
“This is what I love doing. That’s what I love the most in my life, but I can’t accept this bullsh*t with athletes in our division and athletes in the entire sport. People have to understand that the UFC is not a sport, the UFC is a company. The UFC is not a sport. MMA is a sport. The UFC is just a brand that produces MMA fights.
“One for all, all for one.”
