Anderson Silva apologized to fans after one of the worst main events in UFC history on Saturday.
Silva managed to retain the UFC middleweight title against fellow Brazilian fighter, Thales Leites.
“Sometimes when you’re not in here, it’s hard to know what’s going on. I’ll do better next time,” Silva told Setanta Sports after the fight.
“Thales is a very tough opponent, it was just unfortunate, sometimes you can’t give a spectacular show.”
“I can honestly tell you that I’ve never put on an event that I was embarrassed to be at until tonight,” UFC president Dana White told Yahoo Sports. “I want to publicly apologize to all the fans.”
“I apologize. I personally apologize for what happened tonight,” White said. “You guys know, this isn’t what the UFC was built on and this isn’t the way the fights usually go. Listen, any night you can have an off-night. When a guy is that talented and can literally end a fight whenever he wants to, wow.”
