Anderson Silva’s manager Ed Soares said many times that the UFC middleweight champion would retire when his current contract expires, four bouts from now. On an interview on a Brazilian TV show called “De frente com Gabi”, on SBT, Spider denied his manager’ statement.

According to the fighter, he still has a lot of work to do.

“I’ll fight for another six or seven years and then I’ll stop. I stopped to think about it and I’ll postpone my retirement for a little longer. Then I’ll think about TV. I guess it’s interesting”, said Anderson, who recently had a documentary launched and stared on a soap opera.

On the interview, Anderson also commented on a possibility of fighting Chael Sonnen again.

“He doesn’t deserve to fight me. The most important thing he didn’t do: defeating me. He was caught on the drug test, which was the worse,” Anderson said, making hard critics towards the American.

“I believe he shouldn’t be on the sport, because he has no emotional control. While trying to provoke me, he makes the sport looks bad. He made bad comments, offended me and my wife”, he said.
