Anderson: ''I Dont Know If I'll Have Patience For 8 Fights''

[iLikeBirds]

New GOAT quote, my friends!

- I have eight fights. I intend to do all, but do not know if I'll have patience to do all of them. For now, I'm superexcited, going through a moment of renewal. It'll be nice when I return to fight and do what I love. While i have this desire to fight, I'll fight - said Anderson.

This full interview will be aired next saturday in Sensei SPORTV, in Brazil.Is normal.

does anyone actually think he is going to fullfill all of those fights? he would be atleast 45 by then

 

[countswagula]

Well I'm guessing the 10 fight contract was quite favorable.

 

[dredd57]

I think he's only going to fulfill maybe 2-3 of those fights and retire.

 

[Concrete]

But is the fight still the fight, and is normal?

 

[Mma Adiction]

does anyone actually think he is going to fullfill all of those fights? he would be atleast 45 by then

he could do those fights in 4 year and be 42/43 by then

 

[DarthChen731]

So then it would only make sense if they have him fight every month from December 2014 to July 2015, no? :icon_chee

i dont see it happening. he has been injury prone while his ufc run, and i dont think it wil get better with age

 

[Readybodisready]

Zuffa had him sign that kind of contract to ensure the slavery. I.E. Anderson would not be able to fight in any other org for the remainder of his career.

 

[Megatronlee]

Dudes amazing.i would give anything to make him happy

 

[Claude]

His division is no longer terrible. It'll be hard for him to even fulfill 5 fights if he fights the top guys at MW.

 

[PeteGmeng***]

Knew he wouldn't. He's not going to be getting fed opponents anymore, so no way he fulfills his contract.

 

[Dramacydal]

The number of fights he'll do will probably depend on his success. If he lost his next fight, he'd probably retire or get a gimme so he could go out on a win.

 

[Fresh Burek]

Anderson one day says he'll fight for another 10 years and next day he says he doesn't think he'll have patience for 8 more fights.

i dont see it happening. he has been injury prone while his ufc run, and i dont think it wil get better with age

he wasnt really getting hurt until he broke his leg bruv

 

[jiujitsuforever]

he wasnt really getting hurt until he broke his leg bruv

i think hes had some rib trouble, and also shoulder trouble. he hasnt fought 3 times in a year since 2008 and that was 6 years ago...things change

 

[BlastoiseDad]

Give him 1 or 2 fun fights then let heem hetire

 

[Unbreakabull]

Didn't really expect him to say "I have no intention of finishing the fights on my contract". But if you read between the lines, that's exactly what he said. One or two more fights and he's done. If he even comes back.

 

[mathor]

Hetire brah!

 

[Readybodisready]

In any case if he gets knocked out again Dana will probably force him to retire like they did with Chuck. Anderson's UFC legacy is something that Zuffa doesn't want damaged too much.
