Subject: Anderson Silva Disappointed With His Performance, Wants In At UFC 91
Devastated by the criticism of his performance at UFC 90 “Silva vs. Cote”, UFC middleweight champion has asked the UFC to put him on the fight card at UFC 91, just three weeks later. In an interview with the Las Vegas Review, UFC President Dana White expresses a glimpse of hope that it could happen.
Dana White:
“it might not be impossible.”
“He’s flipping out. He wants to fight again, like, on Nov. 15 … He’s (upset) about his performance and he wants to fight again immediately.”
Silva expresses his frustration:
“I didn’t come here to play. I didn’t come here to put on a show … I came here to do my job and I didn’t become a champion and defend the title as many times as I have by not doing my job.”
Though fighting in under a months time is almost certainly out of the question, Silva could return for a light heavyweight matchup at UFC 92 in December or, perhaps most likely, battle Chuck Liddell in the headlining bout of UFC 95 on February 21st in London.
