<p>Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva fights Uriah Hall at UFC 198 on May 14, 2016 at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil. Former UFC light heavyweight champion <span style="line-height: 20.8px;">Vitor </span>Belfort<span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> fights 'Jacare' Souza at UFC 198. If both Silva and Belfort win, a rematch between the two might be in order.</span></p>
Silva won the first fight via front kick KO in the first round at UFC 126 on February 5, 2011?. But at the recent UFC 198 press conference?, Silva was asked for his thoughts on a rematch.
“You guys are probably the only fighters in MMA history who have been fighting at a high level for 19 consecutive years, and your fight changed the history of Brazilian MMA, just like Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin did in the United States,” said Combate reporter Andre Azevedo, as transcribed by Marcelo Alonso for Sherdog. “Would you agree to make a rematch of that historic fight before you retire?”
Silva declined to reply, but Belfort did.
“I’m really focused on my goal, which is the title,” he said. “When we fought, it was a big deal because we had trained together, but I knew that fight would break barriers and open new fields for the sport. Today, we’re all here enjoying the return from that fight. Anderson had a wonderful night, but the smell of his stinky feet is gone. As I said now, I’m focused on the tough challenge against ‘Jacare’ that will lead me to the title.”
Again Silva declined to reply, instead turning the focus towards UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, who headlines the card vs. Stipe Miocic. However, Werdm impishly turned it around.
“I’m headlining the event and demand you give him an answer,” said Werdum.
A laughing Silva finally replied.
“That’s too much for my 41-year-old heart,” said Silva. “Let me stay quiet here. You guys want me to fight for the belt and fight Vitor ... He already experienced the bad smell of my foot, so forget about it.”
