The end.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We&#8217;ll see how Anderson handles it, but I think when somebody, at least for me, when somebody tried to say things, even when it wasn&#8217;t accurate, I think I still deserve it.

I can tell you this on Anderson Silva, the human body doesn&#8217;t get better with age. That&#8217;s reality. We start to decline as humans and particularly as athletes right around 25 years old. If you&#8217;re real lucky you might push that to 27 or 28. The good news is science and medicine have come along and decided the world does not belong to 18-25 year-olds, but that you can extend your career beyond that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;If you&#8217;re asking me if he took something&#8230; There&#8217;s two tests that you take. The first test is not the urine drug test. The first test is the visual. When a guy takes his t-shirt off and gets in the ring or steps on the scale, you look at him. If a guy got better with time, you can&#8217;t do that on your own. Anderson Silva&#8217;s body doesn&#8217;t appear to have changed at all. So, a reasonable person would conclude that whatever he was on now, he was on before.
