Anderson Silva on supposed ‘retirement’ fight with Uriah Hall: ‘My wish is to continue’

It was seemingly set in stone that Anderson Silva’s fight against Uriah Hall this weekend will be his last fight in the UFC, but “The Spider” says he is still hoping to compete elsewhere in the future.

Silva (34-10, 1NC) will compete in his 25th UFC fight in the main event of UFC Vegas 12 against Hall. The former longtime middleweight champion has only won one of his eight fights, but has lost fights against elite competitors in that run such as Israel Adesanya and Daniel Cormier.

Talking during a online media scrum before his fight with Hall, Silva addressed whether this would be the final fight of his MMA career, or just his UFC career.
