Former PRIDE champion, UFC and Bellator veteran Wanderlei Silva has officially called it a career after 51 matches and 22 years in the sport. In a conversation on MMA Fighting’s Trocacao Franca podcast, the ‘Axe Murderer’ has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts, but maybe not from fighting entirely.
During the conversation, Silva said he was done with MMA, but could still accept a boxing match against a suitable opponent. When thinking about rematches he never had in his career, the 46-year-old recalled both Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson, while calling out ‘Hendo’ for one last dance.
