Ed Soares From "The MMA Show with Mauro Ranallo" yesterday.
Quote:
Yes, Anderson Silva called me yesterday afternoon and he was basically busy doing things with media, well not media but stuff for his sponsors and business stuff in Brazil so he was kinda out of the circle, he didn't know what was happening and then when he was done with his day one of the people he works with said to him "hey man did you hear about the UFC being cancelled?" and he said "WHAT?!" and then he calls me and says "Hey Ed, did they really cancel the event?" and I said "yeah" and he goes "man, tell Dana, I've not been training and I'm not in 185lbs shape, I'll fight somebody at 205. I'm not gonna fight Jon Jones because I'm not in fighting shape but if I need to step up and save the show I'll fight whoever at 205 pounds that would want to take the fight because I don't want to see the fighters not be able to fight and I don't want to see the event get lost."
