UFC Vegas 12 results – Hall vs. Silva
The UFC has returned to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada with UFC Vegas 12. The main event on Saturday pairs former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva up against the ever dangerous Uriah Hall.
Prior to the bout, it was said that this would be Silva’s last fight. That story began to change earlier in the week as media pushed the question on if “The Spider” truly is retiring.
“Everybody’s asking this, and the answer will always be the same,” Silva said during an online media scrum with the Brazilian media on Wednesday via MMAFighting.com. “Maybe it’s the last, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s the last fight in the UFC, yes, in agreement between Dana and I. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll do the other fight I have in my contract, maybe not. Anything can happen.”
“After the fight, we’ll probably see what we’ll do, to continue fighting or not, but my wish is to continue, for sure,” he added. “But let’s wait. Uriah is the focus now, and after that we’ll see the next steps, we’ll talk to Dana, we’ll see what’s doable and what’s not.”
While he’s undoubtedly one of the greatest fighters of all-time, there’s no denying that Anderson Silva has hit some rough times in recent years. Since losing his title to Chris Weidman in 2013, for example, he’s gone just 1-5-1, has failed multiple drug tests and has been injured inside of the cage on more than one occasion.
