Ed Soares, manager of UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva, recently appeared on MMA Weekly Radio and spoke about Silva’s future in the fight game.

“I think the important thing is to really create the biggest fights possible,” said Soares. “I think Anderson’s got a good two, three years probably. He’s got a good eight or nine fights probably left in him for sure, maybe more. He doesn’t take too much damage, and the fact that he doesn’t take damage in the fights, it’s really more or less the training.

The fans are going to dictate who they want to see. Of course the UFC makes those decisions, but with the talent pool the UFC has, there’s not going to be a lack of big fights for Anderson or for any of our fighters.”

There is no doubt that two of the biggest fights that fans have been waiting for are Silva vs. Georges St. Pierre, and Silva vs. Lyoto Machida. However, first things first, Silva will be facing arguably his toughest test to date when he takes on Vitor Belfort at UFC 112 on April 10 in Abu Dhabi.
