Anderson Silva Wants One Final MMA Bout In Japan: “My Last Fight In MMA Is In Japan”

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva wants to return to MMA for one final fight in Japan.

Silva spoke with MMA Junkie’s Danny Segura ahead of his boxing bout against social media star, Jake Paul tomorrow night in Glendale, Arizona, and expressed his desire to compete in front of the Japanese fans one more time in his official retirement fight from the sport. 

“You know, my goal is my last fight in MMA in Japan because I start my international career in Japan and that’s why I try to do it,” Silva said. “That’s my plan. My last fight in MMA is in Japan. I don’t have (an opponent in mind) because I need to give back to Japan everything Japan gave to me. I believe my last MMA fight is go to Japan for my fans in Japan. Of course my fans in the world, but especially my fans in Japan.”
