Less than two weeks removed from a five-round decision loss to Michael Bisping in London, Anderson Silva is already planning his next bout.
Rogerio Camoes, Silva’s physical trainer, on Tuesday told Sherdog.com that the former UFC middleweight champion will depart his adopted home of Los Angeles this week to resume training at X-Gym in Rio de Janeiro. While nothing has been confirmed, according to Camoes, Silva is in talks to compete at UFC 198 on May 14 in Curitiba, Brazil.
“I talked to him yesterday and he told me that he’s still negotiating to fight in Curitiba, and the final decision hasn’t been made,” Camoes told Sherdog.com. “He still believes he will fight in Curitiba, and everybody is cheering for that. Imagine how it would be, the first UFC in a soccer stadium in Brazil with the biggest national idol fighting at home. Of course, Anderson would be able to pack that stadium with 45,000 people easily.
