White: ‘Anderson asked for new 10 fight contract’
The kingpin of the MMA world, Anderson Silva isn’t going anywhere according to UFC President Dana White. During the most recent Metro PCS live chat with Dana, he touched once again on re-signing the middleweight champion after his last two fights on the contract are fulfilled.
As White explains, they offered Silva an eight fight contract which Silva denied, only to counter with even more fights.
“Fuck that, I want a 10-fight deal,” Silva said. Or at least that’s what White said Silva had told him. Whether Dana injected his own ‘fuck’ is unknown, but likely.”
At the age of 37-years-old, Silva seems to be willing to fight right into his 40s, just as we had seen former champ at 43, Randy Couture do successfully. With Silva not looking to slow after taking out a ‘PED using’ Stephan Bonnar and nemesis Chael Sonnen in 2012.

The fuu..
Couture did it. So I don’t see why not
hes to damn old
He hasn’t took the damage of most fighters in their 20′s. I hope he continues.
Have to agree with Todd. I don’t think I have ever seen him with a swollen eye or even a minor cut. Goooo Anderson!
Body doesn’t start breaking down till around 45, so why not?
He’ll get it
easy
Don’t see why not the man makes he best in the world look like chumps
Kick more asses brotha!
Probably
only time I ever seen anderson take some good shots n eventually lose to one of the best subs EVER!! In PRIDE vs Ryo Chonan…he could easily go another 5 years!
Why not, he is getting paid well for something he loves to do…..”Kicking Ass”. I for one am liking this news and can’t wait to hopefully see the Super Fight of “Silva Vs Jones”.
It`s more of mind state rather than physical condition. He is so confident in himself he will continue to win until he decides to end an era.
Ye he’s not taken any real damage in a while last time he got beaten a bit he still came out lookin like he hadnt been in a fight
Now if we can get him and other champs to defend their belts more than once or twice a year, I think they should defend their belts minimum 3x.
Hell yeah, he’s only been hurt in the first Chael fight
I don’t see why not. No ones even close yet.
3x a year? They would like to have a little time off in between fights! If they fought 3x a year, they would have no time to heal up from fights or anything. That is too much. 2x a year would be fine. As far as Anderson goes, yes I do think he can be successful into his forties.
Oh yes I think he can handle another few years but I’d hate to see him knocked out like Pacquiao that was just sad, or deteriorate like Bj and Shogun.
Yes
^^ LOL but real talk Natasha stevenson… Real Talk
Couture did it because he wrestled and started mma in his 30′s. Anderson is a striker and the 1st thing that goes in speed and reflexes. So no. Time is ticking.
Yes but not like Fedor
Matt … he will still gain some experience . He still fights very good …. he will know when to stop no doubt about it !!
Silva GOAT
Interesting.
