He headlined countless shows, defended his belt 10 times and was the face of the company for years.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no question Anderson Silva is a massive star and a big reason why the UFC is what it is today. However, he has one problem with the promotion and Dana White which he revealed in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani.<\/p>\n<p id=\"kHrzOZ\">\u201cIt\u2019s strange for me, because everybody signs and when inside they start talking, \u2018You guys don\u2019t pay me correct,\u2019 and this and that,\u201d Silva said to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2022\/9\/21\/23365597\/anderson-silva-defends-ufc-business-practices-one-issue-dana-white-has-never-fought-mma-in-his-life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The MMA Hour<\/a>. \u201cI never, in my life, talked about how much the UFC paid me because I fight a lot and that\u2019s my problem with Dana \u2014 it\u2019s not a problem, it\u2019s a business, Anderson Silva is a company going inside the UFC and signing the contract. It\u2019s two companies making business together.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3qjBU3\">\u201cMy problem with Dana is [when he] talks about fights because Dana has never fought MMA in his life. That\u2019s my problem, when he talks about, \u2018You can\u2019t do that, can\u2019t do that, you don\u2019t fight correctly.\u2019 No, no, no, that\u2019s my only problem with Dana,&#8221; Silva continued. &#8220;I think Dana is a good person. Everybody talks about Dana, \u2018He\u2019s not good, blah blah blah.\u2019 He\u2019s a good person, but he\u2019s a businessman. UFC doesn\u2019t get to this point now as a big, big company in the world if the people think, \u2018I did something, I\u2019m sorry fighters, I did something incorrect.\u2019 No, the company grew up because of hustlers doing something and that\u2019s the game. You\u2019re inside or not. You can sign or not sign, you can go anywhere, but when you sign, you make the deal with my company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can\u2019t say nothing because why did you sign? You signed. You have a contract. \u2018Oh no, let me out of the contract.\u2019 You signed the contract, you\u2019ve seen the rules of the contract, why are you talking about it now? And I\u2019m so lucky because I\u2019m not in the UFC anymore and I have my own journey right now. I don\u2019t need to say, \u2018Can I do that?\u2019 I don\u2019t need to ask permission from the UFC or from Dana for absolutely nothing anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Anderson Silva fought out his UFC contract and has since gone into boxing. He has beaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by decision while also knocking out Tito Ortiz and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/anderson-silva\/anderson-silva-says-jake-paul-fight-will-be-the-biggest-combat-event-of-the-year\/\">will now face Jake Paul<\/a>. The Brazilian legend has advised fighters to understand the business better before signing with the promotion.<\/p>\n<p>What do you make of Anderson Silva&#8217;s lone problem he has with UFC President Dana White?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anderson Silva is one of the best UFC fighters of all time but he has one problem with Dana White.
