When it was revealed that just 48 hours before UFC 200, interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones would be unable to fight Daniel Cormier<\/a> for the undisputed light heavyweight championship due to a failed out-of-competition drug test the month prior, former middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva stepped up to take Jones’ place<\/a>. On just two days notice, Silva stepped into the Octagon on July 9th and fought Cormier in a non-title light heavyweight scrap.<\/p>\n

\"Anderson<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, according to ‘The Spider’, he has never received a ‘thank you’ from UFC President Dana White, or former UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta, who owned the promotion at the time he stepped up to fight Cormier in the biggest event in UFC history.<\/p>\n

He spoke during an interview with UOL Esporte:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t even received a \u2018thank you\u2019 from Dana (White), or Lorenzo (Fertitta) after the last fight,\u201d Silva told UOL. \u201cOf course, I was the one who wanted to fight, who took the bout, but I know my worth, my importance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very disappointed with the lack of respect that the UFC has been treating the Brazilian athletes with. I\u2019m an athlete who took the sport to another level. I don\u2019t get, or have got, people\u2019s due respect. This has made me very upset, sad, and disappointed with the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will say it again: I\u2019m very disappointed with the way they\u2019ve been treating me, I\u2019m very saddened by all of this,\u201d he said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t the one who said I was the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Dana White said it. Maybe he said it to promote his event, or because he really felt that way. We\u2019ll never know the truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cFact is that everything I\u2019ve done, no one else was able to do again. I don\u2019t mean to be conceited, arrogant, think I\u2019m the best, but what I set out to do this entire time was to show I was different than the others. And this is not my opinion, it\u2019s everyone\u2019s.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Silva<\/a><\/p>\n

So far there has been no word yet as to when Silva will return to the Octagon. However, leading up to UFC 204, where Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson will square off for Bisping’s middleweight title<\/a> on Saturday, Silva was told to stay ready in case one of the men pulls out of the fight.<\/p>\n

With nearly 48 hours to go until fight night however, it is unlikely he will be tapped to step in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
