Anyone With a Link Where Anderson Silva Says He's Retiring?

Joe McPherson · 01:07 AM

Can someone please post a link to Anderson saying he was retiring? I've heard the rumors for awhile now, but haven't actually read anything credible. I went through the "Is Anderson Arrogant?" thread and there was a poster who asked the question a couple of times and it never got answered.

Anyway, if it's true, I'd hate to see it, but at the same time, I don't besmirch a fighter like Anderson going out on top while he still has unscrambled brains and can pursue some other interests. I want to see him fight for another 10 years, but it's probably best for him to retire in the next couple of years...Something that a lot of stars should probably do.

So, can someone post a link? I think there's more posters out there interested in some concrete evidence. I probably read it even in a credible source but just can't remember for sure.

I said from day one he isnt retiring. It was probably a ploy to get more esposure or money.

Every fighter has got to retire, hopefully before they are a shadow of themselves.

Ensures a greater legacy to leave when still comeptitive as well.

How about a link to his boxing match in which he is KOed? I wanna see that. I can't imagine him being KOed ever.

I could only find his boxing fight against Julio Cesar.

Thanks for the links...

His career will likely drag on like everyone else's...especially after a loss or two - then he'll try endlessly to redeem himself.
