I couldn’t believe it either, but according to Yahoo! sports, Anderson Silva will retire next year. That is simply a shock as there are many mega fights that Anderson can be a part of.

I’ll retire next year, I already gave my all. I don’t need to prove anything for anyone and within one year I’ll put my gloves aside

While Anderson has not been a draw like Lesnar, Couture, or Liddell, he is the best pound for pound MMA fighter in the world. But it seems domination brings boredom as Silva will retire after 5 or 6 more fights, if not sooner. But things will change in the sports, and people unretire or change their minds. Let’s see if Silva keeps his promise.
