UFC President Dana White recently suggested that the winner of Anderson Silva and Israel Adesanya’s UFC 234 middleweight fight will get the next crack at the middleweight belt. Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza, who has been chasing a UFC title shot since he arrived in the UFC in 2013, was not happy to hear this.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking to the Brazilian website PVT last week, Jacare shared his belief that neither Silva nor Adesanya deserves a title shot.<\/p>\n

Now Anderson Silva has responded.<\/p>\n

He says he was surprised to hear his fellow Brazilian snubbing him \u2014 especially after all the help he’s given him.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Jacare,\u2019 when he come to train to my team in Brazil, I just opened the door of my gym and I helped a lot and supported a lot,\u201d Silva said at a Monday press conference at his new Spider Kick gym (via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019m very surprised that \u2018Jacare\u2019 was talking about that situation, especially because he respects me. I tried to help \u2018Jacare\u2019 many times. I fight with Dana and Ed Soares one time when \u2018Jacare\u2019 came close to fighting for the belt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson Silva reminded Jacare that this development is no fault of his own. He says this was the decision of UFC President Dana White.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know [why] Jacare is doing this, but it\u2019s not my fault,\u201d Silva said. \u201cI try to do my best in my job. And that\u2019s the point Dana offered to me, to fight for the belt again. It\u2019s not my fault. I need to say \u2018Jaca,\u2019 it\u2019s not me. It\u2019s Dana White.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you make of this situation? Do you think Anderson Silva deserves a title shot before ‘Jacare’ Souza? Join the debate in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
