Anderson Silva is '200%' Healthy, Wants to Fight Frank Mir Next

"I don’t know anything at all about any elbow injury. I wonder who hurt me? I’m 200 percent healthy and there’s no injury. UFC can set the next fight whenever they want, I’m ready. I’m interested in fighting Frank Mir. He can be the next one"

200% healthy?

He is working on thinking like Mir to understand him better.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Im starting to think

that he just wants to beat up on ex champions now just to prove his dominance, and since Coleman is busy being old and washed up and with Couture trying for another LHW title run i guess Mir is looking like his best option.

I know that Anderson Silva is a huge MW, and a pretty big LHW, but size does matter in MMA and i feel that as a HW he will be a little undersized. To the point of being at a distinct disadvantage.

They're not fighting the same Frank Mir.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Silva can win, I just think that size and weight become exponentially more important the more different they are.

I’m wondering if he really just wants a Lesnar fight, and figures beating Mir is the first step in that direction. Dana won’t let either of those fights happen though.

Anderson Silva vs Urijah Faber

Vote- This matchup...

Just so everyone can pick Frank to lose, then when he wins, say it was fluke…

I definitely think Anderson should be the favorite, but I’d root for Frank (and against the Spider for the first time in the UFC)

I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.

This is all BS. Silva is just stalling.

I’m pretty sure if Shogun wins he’s gonna be intersted in pursuing the 205 belt. He just wants to see if Lyoto loses to announce it.

It does kinda of seem like stalling, I mean why call out a guy who already has a fight scheduled? Don’t think he is waiting for the outcome of the Shogun fight as I’m sure he is 100% confidant that Machida will never lose.
