After publicly failing two drug tests, TMZ Sports caught up with UFC legend Anderson Silva to talk about the situation. In the short chat, Anderson still plays innocent: he claims that he is doing everything in his power to cooperate with the commission because “this is bad for sport [and] bad for me” — he does not believe he took any drugs nor did it help him defeat Nick Diaz.
And he even wants to prove this: “I think have the rematch for [Nick]. I’m ready [for the rematch]. I expect the commission now — when all this done — I go fight Nick for next one.”
He even talked about 50 Cent’s $1.6 million bet on the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.”50, you need to put this money on my next fight against Nick Diaz,” he said.
