Anderson Silva tog sig under natten tillbaka in i oktagonen efter att ha skadat sitt ben för över ett år sedan, och besegrade Nick Diaz via ett enhälligt domslut. I dagsläget är det oklart om Anderson kommer att gå några fler matcher, då han behöver prata med sin familj först.
Detta hade han att säga under morgonens presskonferens, via ”MMAJunkie”:
When I finished, I went back to the locker room, and I called my family. My son, Kalyl, said, ‘Dad, congratulations, but done. Back to home, please. No more fight.’ So this is my son. I need to talk to my family. I love my job. This is me. I love to fight, but I need to talk to my family because this is more important in my life now.
We knew it was going to be a difficult fight, and that’s what you saw: It was a difficult fight. Now, it’s over.
I love my job. I love fighting, but I need to talk to my family. My son talked to me, serious. When I talked to my son, my son cried. ‘Dad, stop please. Back home, please. Stop. You don’t need more fights.’ So I need to talk to my family. I talk serious now.
