The boss <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/dana-white-on-anderson-silva-i-shouldnt-have-let-him-fight-this-fight-tonight\/\">admitted in his post-fight press conference<\/a> that he regrets even allowing Silva to go out there and fight at the UFC APEX.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe fought a guy that has absolutely zero output,\u201d White told reporters (via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2020\/10\/ufc-news-dana-white-anderson-silva-never-fight-again-big-mistake\">MMAJunkie<\/a>). \u201cThey\u2019re in a five-round main event on ESPN and they threw (expletive) 11 punches in the second round. You fight any of these other savages, he\u2019ll be in big trouble, and he\u2019ll take a (expletive)load of punishment. Uriah Hall threw 11 punches in the second round. Uriah Hall is one of the most gun-shy fighters in the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd look at Anderson. When the fight was over, he couldn\u2019t even stand up to do his interview. He had to sit down and do an interview. I made a big mistake and I shouldn\u2019t have let him fight this fight tonight. He\u2019s a legend of this sport and he\u2019s a legend of this company, and I did something I disagreed with. I knew I was right, and tonight proved I was right, and Anderson Silva should never fight again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Anderson could always leave the Ultimate Fighting Championship in favor of a move elsewhere, it feels pretty safe to say that Dana White isn&#8217;t going to change his mind on this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC announcer Bruce Buffer paid tribute to Anderson Silva by taking a knee for the legend in his final fight with the promotion. &#8220;The Spider&#8221; stepped into the Octagon for the final time on Saturday night as he was beaten in the fourth round by middleweight contender Uriah Hall.
