UFC legend Anderson Silva has released a statement addressing his departure from the promotion he’s called home since 2006.
With one fight remaining, “The Spider” was officially released from his UFC contract earlier this week and is now a free agent. The news came three weeks after Silva suffered a fourth-round TKO loss to Uriah Hall at a UFC APEX show in Las Vegas on Oct. 31.
On Saturday, Silva, 45, released a statement via Instagram addressing his release and plans for the future.
