UFC 208’s Anderson Silva: I wrote a script for an action show ‘and Netflix bought it’

Legendary former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva talks about his dreams of becoming a movie star and future endeavors.

As he prepares to take on Derek Brunson, former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, spoke a little with the press during a media day before his fight at UFC 208. As Combate reported, Silva revealed he dreams of becoming an action movie star and that he could be working with Netflix in the future, once his fighting career is over.

“My biggest dream, right now, is to maybe win an Oscar,” Silva said. “I got some auditions to do in Hollywood. I wrote a script for a series and Netflix bought it, thank God. I got other projects apart from fighting. It was always my dream to become an action movie actor. I have been studying that for a while and now things are finally happening.”

As for the content of the show, all Anderson could say is that it’s an action show, but not fight related.

“It’s an action show, but it has nothing to do with fighting,” Silva said. “It doesn’t have a name yet, we’re still adapting it to script and we’ll settle on a name once it’s all done. I had to stop for awhile, but I’m always working on it, you know, it’s annoying. I’m always writing, putting ideas on paper, before I go to bed and after I wake up.”

Anderson Silva is expected to meet Derek Brunson at UFC 208, on February 11, in New York. The card will be headlined by the inaugural UFC women’s featherweight championship fight between former bantamweight champion Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie.
