 <\/p>\n

Wanderlei Silva recently spoke on Submission Radio<\/a> about his current relationship with the UFC, one that he compares to slavery. Check out some of what he had to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is because I have one fight left in my contract and I don’t want to fight for this event anymore. And these guys hold my contract and I can’t do nothing in any other event. And I’m not gonna fight there, I’m not gonna fight in any other event and these guys hold my contract. I want to be free. I don’t want to working for these guys anymore. And he don’t sign the agreement and say ‘no, you are free.’\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to work for these guys anymore.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth, I don’t know if I’m gonna fight again or not. I think no. Today I’m not gonna fight, you know? And there’s no reason for these guys holding my contract. He needs to just sign a paper and it’s done, but he’s not doing that and I’m surprised because this is disrespectful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI have all my history in this sport, you know? I have my name. Imagine what’s gonna happen with the young guys who don’t have a name and no expression. These guys do what these guys want. This is bad, what happened with me can happen can happen with any guy who signs the agreement.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
