Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva recently gave an ultimatum to the Ultimate Fighting Championship promotion. The former champion wants an interim middleweight title fight or he claims he will retire from mixed martial arts and leave the octagon behind.
Following the ultimatum, UFC President Dana White claimed that there would not be such an interim title fight for Anderson Silva. Now, it would appear that Anderson Silva is sticking to his guns. The former champion has provided a lengthy message on the subject over Instagram.
“To say yes when you want to say no is to give more value to others than to ourselves, it is not to put your value in the right place, it is to impose no limits, and that is not to respect yourself .. It is the same as saying that what we feel Is not worth anything, that others can pass over you at will.
“And they pass, if you permit it, they will pass without mercy, forgetting all that you have conquered through honor and dedication. If we allow it will destroy our values. This is the way to say no. When I do not want something, I simply say no. With no anger or emotion.
“It is not just a negative. It’s our limit. A right that we have to decide what we want or do not do. It is a way to make people respect our value, this is the name of dignity. When we put ourselves sincerely, saying what we feel, we are respected. People like it or not. So if you know your worth, do not let anything destroy it nothing and no one. If you take a $100 and knead it, step on it, throw it on the floor and then dismantle, pick it up, ask someone how much it’s worth, smart people will respond that the note is worth $ 100, so no matter how much they step on you, How much they will knead you, your worth no one can change. Thank you, my people. Kiss in the heart ??????.”
