Anderson Silva Wants One Last Title Shot

December 18, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Anderson Silva said that he’s hoping to get another title shot if he can defeat Israel Adesanya at UFC 234 in February. Here are highlights:

On getting a title shot: “I believe in a perfect world, of course, Anderson Silva fights for the belt and takes the belt, then drop the mic. But I need to focus on this fight first. That’s the second step. Let’s go see, because the future is very short.”

On his fight with Adesanya: “I believe this is the great fight, this is an amazing fight. This fight is going to change everything in this game.”

On Georges St-Pierre: “I believe Georges St-Pierre does not take the real challenge. He just tries to do something easy for yourself, but this is Georges St-Pierre. He’s so smart. That’s the game, that’s the business. He’s a business man. For me, I prefer to take real challenge. Don’t put nothing in the mind of my fans, (saying) ‘maybe yes, maybe not.’ That’s why I accepted the fight with (Daniel) Cormier in two days (at UFC 200). That’s the difference … it’s not about fighters – it’s about martial arts. I like challenge and I try to do my best every time.”
