UFC 126: Anderson Silva Fighting for a Legacy

"I believe that people put a big focus on things like having the belt. I don’t believe that having the belt really determines the type of fighter and type of person that you are. I try to set an example for the young fighters that are coming up and leave a legacy of what I’ve been able to do in this sport. I’m not concerned about who my next opponent is. He’s a dangerous opponent just like the rest. Whoever they put in front of me I’m here to fight."

"After the Chael [Sonnen] fight, people think I’m human again and that anything can happen. I could be knocked out, I could be submitted. For me, every time I go out there, it’s about more than just winning the fight. It’s about sending a positive message and leaving a message behind of what I was able to do in there."
