[RogerD]

So he’s not signing with Bellator?

 

[Gio]

Thanks for the memories, Anderson Silva!

 

[ramair455]

Perfect!

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Farewell Legend. Personally he is my goat overall.

 

[FireKidWS]

Where does he say he won't fight again?

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Anderson was one of the sport's GOAT. He started his dominant UFC run when I started following the sport so his fights will always bring fond memories for me. He's an entertainer in and out of the cage, and his finishes against Forrest and Vitor are jaw dropping. Even in his poor showings (like against Maia) he was entertainingly frustrating. His retirement (at least from UFC) signifies an end of an era, and a reminder that all good things come to an end. Best of luck to the legend

 

[Pillar of Society]

If he goes Tito Ortiz or Cro Cop's path, that's first of many farewells

Negotiation tactic for Scott Coker to open up his wallet.

He doesn't even say he won't fight again

Es normal

Who also reads this post in their head with Anderson's high pitched english speaking voice?

 

[IvanEmelianenko]

Sounds like a bunch of CTE talk...

I bet he fights Fedor in Bellator.

The right translation is SAYING GOODBYE TO A WHOLE LIFE DEDICATED TO MY SPORT

 

[Broad Blade]

Anderson will always be the GOAT striker for me. Thanks for all your magnificent display of awesomeness...

 

[Freddy Fisticuffs]

True legend. An inspiration to martial artists everywhere.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Nowhere does he say he has retired

 

[tasticles]

So he’s not signing with Bellator?

Give it a couple years if that were possible.

 

[Do The Evolution]

Still doesn't say he's retiring at all.

 

[EricSpider]

Still doesn't say he's retiring at all.

He told he's saying goodbye to a whole life dedicated to the sport. This seems very retiring to me.

 

[jeff7b9]

I hope he calls out Roy Jones Jr.


It will be a decade too late, but still fun.


(Or he can retire, whatever, but I’d rather see the RJJ fight than see him in Bellator if he keeps fighting)

 

[7 others]

Calling it quits after losing his last fight...

 

[Bearknuckle]

Maybe fight roy jones jr?
