Anderson Silva has finally broken his silence, and his recent statements aren’t matching past comments made by his manager Ed Soares.
“Only I can talk about my fights, my plans and my career,” Silva posted on Twitter. “I’m not on physical therapy, and once I define my next fight with the UFC, I will let you know.”
Soares has been insistent that Silva was nearing retirement, and he wasn’t interested in a rematch with top middleweight contender Chael Sonnen.
Some of Soares’ statements have led many to believe Silva was “ducking” Sonnen, and the UFC middleweight champion doesn’t seem too happy with his manager at the moment.
Soares has been with Silva throughout his UFC tenure and watched the Brazilian grow into arguably the greatest fighter of all time.
Neither side could be reached for further comment.
