Former UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva, was last seen in action at UFC 168 in which he tried to recover the UFC title that he lost at UFC 162 to Chris Weidman. During their clash, Anderson Silva broke his leg throwing a kick that was checked by Chris Weidman. Since that moment Silva has been out of action trying to recover from his injury. Silva quickly underwent surgery and has slowly been recovering and even sharing videos of him training on his various social media accounts. This week, Anderson Silva's doctor in Brazil has cleared him to begin training and resuming his MMA career. MMA H.E.A.T.'s Karyn Bryan sat down with Silva and asked him about his future in MMA.
Silva is expecting to return in 2015 and doesn't yet have an opponent in mind yet. Many are buzzing about possibly seeing a bout that has seemed to elude the UFC fans for years--a fight between Silva and Michael Bisping. I personally wouldn't mind seeing Silva go up to 205lb for a fourth time or possibly see him face Vitor Belfort or Rich Franklin in a rematch. Franklin believes that he could defeat Silva if he got his hands on Silva for a third time. Franklin has one last fight on his contract and I wouldn't be opposed to another round of Silva and Franklin. If Penn can get a third shot at Edgar in a similar situation, why shouldn't we see Franklin try to redeem himself against the man who took his title? Also a super fight with Georges St. Pierre has been buzzed about, but I'd rather see a clash with Franklin, Belfort or Bisping over a fight with GSP. Who would you all like to see the Spider face?
