although it wasn't the ufc who got involved, I just knew this fight was to good to be true and that Murray won't risk fighting someone as dangerous as Anderson Silva right now

Anderson Silva celebrates his K-1 debut

Brazilian fighters ruled the recent 'Gladiator FC - Episode 1' event held on June 27th in South Korea. One of these Brazilians was Anderson Silva who outlasted Jeremy Horn for a judge's decision. Now, Anderson is training hard for his K-1 debut, scheduled to happen on August 15th in Japan. Now one of the 'Muay Thai Dream Team' leaders, Silva expects to face the Frenchman Cyril Abidi. According to the Brazilian, fighting in K-1 is like a dream come true.

'This will be the fight of my life!' says an excited Anderson. 'I've always dreamed about my K-1 debut. Fighting under K-1 rules is different from anything else. Any mistake is enough to be KOed'.

With regards to his opponent Abidi, Silva confesses he doesn’t know much about him, however, he guarantees he is ready to avoid any unpleasant surprise. 'I'm working very hard to correct my weaknesses and get better every single day. As far as I know, Abidi is a right handed fighter, and I am using many guys like him during my training' stated Silva. Silva also told ADCC that there is nothing to the rumors about a possible fight against Brit Lee Murray, rumored to be scheduled for September 11th in London's Cage Rage 8.

During the Gladiator FC, Silva stepped into the ring wearing a Brazilian Top Team t-shirt, however, he guarantees us he is not thinking about any change. 'I like everyone at BTT. Rodrigo 'Minotauro' and Rogerio 'Minotouro' Nogueira are friends of mine. But in the future, if it is interesting to me and to BTT, I don't see any reason why I might not be part of the Brazilian Top Team. But for now, I represent myself and my family' finishes Anderson.

Sounds good, I'm becoming more of a K-1 fan and having Anderson in the mix increases my interest.

I'm pretty sure that Lee was up for this fight, but aparently there are problems with the Anderson Silva camp, by all accounts.

The guy who was supposed to be getting him to sign the contract in Brazil posted (on here I think) saying that it was all getting set to be signed when Silva got a change of 'advisors' who are against the match.

Hopefully Cage Rage will be able to find Lee a suitable match that will test/prove him.

So NAderson sings with K-1 and that proovs that Murray doesn't wnat ot fight good guys? How do you get that logic?

Ask Murray himself what's the deal. He posts on here a lot and is always gives an honest blunt answer.

I think more n more that Lee Murray is turning into a fraud, he was offered Baroni for ufc 48 but declined, then offered Joe Riggs declinded that and stated Joe riggs wasn't a big name yet choose to fight Curtis Stout as if he's a bigger name then Joe Riggs, then he starts saying he wants Andersen Silva to make it look like he's above the ufc m.w.'s and now this fight is off, I don't kmopw man i might be wrong on this but Lee Murray has to fight already and prove me wrong

nyba037 your a dumbass

Lee told Phil that he would fight him as long as they put their purses on the line and winner takes all, Phil was the one who was silent after that

and Phil doesnt want any of Lee

if Tanner can outstrike Phil what the fuck do you think Lee would do?

stop talking out of your ass when you dont know shit

btw that gif is old, like 2 years old! he aint done shit since!

i will still wait for official confirmation

not really buddy, Phil accepted that offer but Tanner step in for the rematch, Phil will be more then happy to expose Murray, Phil had 1 bad, if the Baroni that fought menne comes to fight, lee murray would be out in less then 2 minutes
