If you have several million dollars to burn, you might be interested in former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s Los Angeles home.

“The Spider” is reportedly selling the Palos Verdes estate for $4.9 million. The Los Angeles Times posted the following description of the luxurious space:

“The multilevel house, completely reimagined three years ago, packs a well-rounded punch with vibrant marble and wood surfaces, two kitchens, an open-air gym and a sauna room.

“High ceilings, walls of windows and skylights give the polished interior a sense of spaciousness. The 7,100 square feet of living space also includes six bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

“There are living rooms with motorized glass doors on each level.”

Per public records, Silva purchased the home back in 2011 for $1.76 million. The Brazilian will make a huge profit for his investment if he’s able to sell it for $4.9 million or more.

The 43-year-old currently holds a mixed martial arts (MMA) record of 34-8-1. His last Octagon appearance came in February of 2017 when he defeated Derek Brunson via unanimous decision.

Silva was once on a spectacular 17-fight winning streak. He eventually captured the UFC middleweight title and racked up a then-record 10 consecutive title defenses. His reign was eventually ended by Chris Weidman in July of 2013.

Following that defeat, Silva was defeated three straight times in a rematch with Weidman, Michael Bisping, and Daniel Cormier. He picked up his first win since October of 2012 against Brunson last year.

Shevchenko Blasts Nicco Montano’s ‘Crazy’ Weight Miss

Shevchenko is not taking Nicco Montano’s failure to show up to fight night well.

Valentina Shevchenko is not happy about missing out on yet another UFC title opportunity.

The former UFC women’s bantamweight title challenger was scheduled to take on Nicco Montano in the co-main event of this past weekend’s UFC 228 pay-per-view (PPV). Montano was set to make her first career 125-pound title defense.

Instead, Montano experienced a complication during her weight-cut and was hospitalized. As a result, Montano was pulled from the card by UFC medical officials. UFC President Dana White subsequently made the decision to strip Montano of her title.

Today (Mon. September 10, 2018) Shevchenko took to The MMA Hour and voiced her frustrations on the matter. She blasted Montano for coming in “20 pounds over” on fight week (quotes via MMA Mania):

“She had enough time to prepare for the fight,” Shevchenko said. “Only she was the one, the one who was responsible for the weight cut was she. She knows her body, how it reacts. And she had to be able to make it earlier, to start her weight cut.

“Not come into fight week weighing 20 pounds over. It’s crazy. Even for the boys, they’re cutting much more than the girls, it’s crazy to come 20 pounds over for fight week.

”You have to start your diet earlier, you be professional,” she continued. “You have to be responsible about what you have in your hands. But this is total irresponsibility.

“Totally unprofessional things from her. And now complaining about everything, making statements like everyone is at fault. She gets what she deserves, in fact.”

Dana White has said that he will give Shevchenko the opportunity to compete for the vacant 125-pound title. White also said he already has a name in mind that he’d like Shevchenko to face for the opportunity, but he didn’t divulge who.

Early speculation points to former UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk being the front-runner.
