Written by A.G Lee

Wanderlei Silva was released from his UFC contract on Wednesday by and released he issued a public apology on his official Facebook page taking back all the allegations to watch the UFC that brought on the lawsuit against him as he stated :

“I failed to understand that the term ‘fight-fixing’ specifically refers to the illegal action or practice of dishonestly determining the outcome of a contest before it occurs,” read his statement. “I understand the UFC’s reputation would be harmed if my fans and others actually believed the UFC engaged in fight fixing, and I have no evidence to support such a claim. I apologize for any misunderstanding my comments may have caused.”

Ross Goodman his attorney said that the UFC will now dismiss the lawsuit against them also the UFC decided not to say anything on the matter and that they will issue a comments on it later. This all stems from Wanderlei Silva evading an out of competition drug test prior to UFC 175 where he claimed it was illegal for them to test him at that time and also said that he did not believe the tester was a legitimate agent. This caused him to get issued a lifetime ban from the NSAC and ever since then Wanderlei Silva has railed against the UFC claiming everything from fight fixing to unfair treatment of their fighters.

Now that Wanderlei Silva is released where do you MMA fans see the MMA legend heading to next?
