Watch UFC Wanderlei Silva Farewall Video from MMA
Brazilian MMA legend Wanderlei Silva announced his retirement from the sport after making an impassioned speech claiming that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) does not respect nor take care of its athletes.
Silva, a 20-year MMA veteran and a former PRIDE champion, posted a Youtube video where he ripped the UFC for underpaying its athletes, disrespecting them, and forcing them to fight even when injured. Silva last fought in the UFC on March 2013, knocking out Brian Stann in his return to the light-heavyweight division during a fight card held in his old stomping grounds in Japan. He retires with a record of 35 wins, 12 losses, one draw, and one no contest.

UFC Update: Former Welterweight King Georges St. Pierre Possible Comeback in 2015
From ESPN.com:
Zahabi swears the two do not discuss St-Pierre's potential UFC return, even during rehabilitation sessions on his left knee. He does, however, admit his personal belief is that St-Pierre will return next year.
"My personal opinion is he still has plenty of competitive juice in him. I don't think he'll be anywhere near fight shape until he's late-34 -- mid-34. I think he's got a few fights in him but I don't want to speak for the guy. He might retire and no one could blame him."
After walking away from MMA last December, St. Pierre tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee while wrestling, forcing him to go under the knife (pic) and endure several months on the sidelines. That ended any and all hope of a 2014 return.
St-Pierre, 33, is one of the greatest champions in UFC history. He held the welterweight title for six years before vacating it in December to take some time off from the sport. GSP cited personal reasons for leaving the UFC at the time, but within the last year he has been very vocal about performance-enhancing drugs and said he will not return to the UFC until it dramatically improves testing procedures.

UFC Update: Where is GSP Now?
The mystery of Georges St-Pierre's possible return to UFC is now put to rest ... for at least 14 months.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White was adamant that his former Welterweight champion -- and international mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar -- Georges St-Pierre, would return to the Octagon sooner rather than later.
"Rush," however, responded that he would not comeback until UFC fixes its drug testing "problem."
Now, it seems, combat sports fans can stop reading between the tea leaves, with "terrible" news that the French-Canadian tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee while training. That's the opposite leg that required surgery to repair the same injury back in 2011, which sidelined St-Pierre for more than one year.
White shared his thoughts about St-Pierre's latest setback with Los Angeles Times earlier this afternoon:
"I didn't think his hiatus was going to be that long. That's one of the risks you run when you get away from the sport like that. You have a small window as a professional athlete to make what you can. The guy gave up his belt, walked away from the sport, and now he's out for who knows how long ... last time he had this injury, it was 14 months."
St. Pierre blew out the ACL in his right knee back in fall 2011 in preparation for a fight against Nick Diaz at UFC 143. The operation was deemed a "huge success," with St-Pierre returning to topple Carlos Condit via decision at UFC 154 in Nov. 2012 to unify his world title.
Shortly thereafter, St-Pierre settled his score with Diaz at UFC 158 in March 2013, winning a unanimous decision, and then barely retained his title against Johny Hendricks eight months later at UFC 167, at which time he announced that he was "stepping away" from the sport for an undetermined amount of time.
Now, it seems, St-Pierre and UFC are looking at a 14-month minimum sit, which would make him about 34 years old ... and certainly way beyond his MMA prime.
In the meantime, "Bigg Rigg" will have to just keep on truckin' ... for better or worse.

UFC's Jon Jones Responds to Chris Weidman's 'Awesome' Request for Championship Super Fight: Absolutely!
Be careful what you wish for.
What a difference a couple of months (and one big win) can make.
Not that long ago, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones said there wasn't anything super about a fight against Chris Weidman, because the promotion's middleweight champion didn't have a big enough name.
Then came a "Dragon" slaying over Fourth of July Weekend and suddenly "Bones" (via Sherdog) is all over it.
"Oh, man, I think that would be awesome. I would absolutely jump at the opportunity to have a super fight with Chris Weidman. I respect him a lot as a person and as a champion, and I think that that fight would make great sales -- absolutely."
Sorry, Johnny.
While he's no stranger to fighting middleweights, any talk of crossing over will have to wait. Jones still has to get through Daniel Cormier at UFC 178 and even if he does, Alexander Gustafsson will be waiting in the wings. Weidman, meanwhile, has his own obstacle ahead of him in the form of Vitor Belfort at UFC 181.
And "super fights" -- historically -- typically fail to materialize.

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans Eyes 2015 Comeback
It's been almost nine months since Rashad Evans last stepped inside the Octagon - following the tear of his ACL in preparation for a marquee 205-pound showdown with top contender Daniel Cormier. And with his return not expected until early 2015, the former UFC light leavyweight champion has drifted to the backdrop of a very competitive division full of hungry fighters with champion Jon Jones in their sights.
But it would be wise not to forget about Evans, the man who has wins over stars such as Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Dan Henderson, Forrest Griffin and Quinton Jackson. The former NCAA Division 1 wrestling standout has won his last two fights and is now ready to make another run at the title when he comes back.
"I want to return in February," he said on a recent episode of the MMA Hour. "That's just me giving myself enough time to make sure that I feel comfortable getting back in there because I know when I get back in there, there's nothing but tough guys in my way. I'm definitely going to have a tough fight coming back. I want to be ready for that."
