UFC 112: Anderson Silva Changes His Mind About Post-Fight Apology
↵So there you go. Despite his apology directly after the fight Anderson has gone ahead and pulled a 180. Silva also went on to spend a lot of time at the presser discussing the fact that his intention was to “punish” Demian Maia for “disrespecting” him as a fighter. Despite repeated requests to explain how he was disrespected by Maia, Silva did not give an answer.
↵One can only assume that the issue in Anderson’s mind is that Maia acted “too superior” to the champion in terms of the ground game during the pre-fight interviews. Silva is a high level black belt and may have felt that Maia was not giving him an appropriate level of credit in that facet of the game.
↵The performance Silva gave certainly did not impress UFC president Dana White who sounds soured on the idea of the Silva/Georges St. Pierre superfight that was being pushed heading into today. Again from Ariel’s tweets of the post fight festivities comes this quote from White:
↵
↵"I don't want to see GSP vs. Silva after tonight. Silva might be the first champion fighting on a prelim. I don't want to see that shit."
↵
↵Succinct and eloquent as always.
