Former UFC middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva, and the UFC brass are currently engaged in a rather public dispute regarding Silva’s next fight. <\/a><\/p>\n

After snapping a two fight skid that saw ‘The Spider’ lose a controversial decision to Michael Bisping, before then dropping a unanimous decision to Daniel Cormier<\/a> on just 48 hours notice, Silva demanded the UFC create an interim middleweight title<\/a> for he and Yoel Romero to fight for while Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre fought for the undisputed belt. <\/p>\n

\"Anderson<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White refuted the possibility of an interim middleweight title, which prompted Silva to threaten to retire if his demands were not met.<\/p>\n

Now, in an interview with The Jim Rome Show, UFC President Dana White spoke about the situation, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to deal with tons of different personalities and egos and lots of different things with all of the athletes that I deal with,\u201d White said. \u201cAnderson Silva has always been one of those guys that\u2019s been unique to deal with \u2013 (but) never at this level. I didn\u2019t make Kelvin Gastelum test positive for marijuana and pull out of the fight, and we tried to make other fights and get other opponents for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t demand a title fight or (threaten), \u2018I\u2019m going to retire.\u2019 Especially when you know that my philosophy is this: If you even mention the word \u2018retirement,\u2019 you should probably retire. I know he\u2019s not thrilled and happy with me. He and I need to sit down and do a face-to-face.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, despite Anderson Silva going crazy on Instagram and saying all these things right now, he\u2019s actually a really nice guy,\u201d White said. \u201cHe\u2019s angry right now and we need to sit down. Everything is better face-to-face, so I probably need to fly out to California and sit down to talk with him \u2013 and soon, very soon.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for updates as they become available.<\/p>\n
