UFC 208 Aftermath: How Anderson Silva stays relevant in his old age
First things first: Anderson Silva knows he’s not the fighter he used to be.
“I’m old,” said the former longtime middleweight champion, who turns 42 on April 14. “I’m very old.”
And yet, regardless of what you think about Silva’s highly debatable unanimous decision victory over Derek Brunson in the co-feature bout of UFC 208, there’s little doubt “The Spider” was the most compelling character on an evening at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center most would otherwise rather forget.
