Anderson Silva is not happy with Dana White, and is even alleging that the UFC treats Brazilian fighters unfairly.

Anderson Silva recently spoke with media in Brazil, and mentioned that he never received so much as a thank you from Dana White for filling in on short notice at UFC 200.

41-year old Anderson Silva was only in Las Vegas the weekend of UFC 200 to do promotional work for the UFC. He was not on the card and had not been in training. When it was announced that Jon Jones had failed a USADA drug test, Anderson Silva was the available marketable name chosen to save the show.

Silva was given the opportunity to challenge Cormier in a 5-round fight for the light heavyweight championship, but declined, opting instead for the less gruelling 3-round non-title fight. This suggests that Silva was not in the shape he would need to be for a big fight.

Adding to Anderson Silva’s frustration with the UFC, is the middleweight title fight being awarded to Dan Henderson. While the middleweight division has multiple contenders with claims to a title shot (Luke Rockhold, Chris Weidman, Jacare Souza etc.) Silva feels he should have been the one to get the first crack at Bisping.
