Forget light heavyweight, forget heavyweight, and especially forget welterweight; Anderson Silva says he wants to stick to middleweight.

The UFC’s 185-pound champion today said that he plans to retire in the 185-pound class and apparently is uninterested in fighting at light heavyweight or heavyweight.

“I like my weight division that I fight in, and I’m prepared to stay in my weight division,” Silva today said through translator and manager, Ed Soares.
