Anderson drove White “crazy”

UFC president Dana White says middleweight champion Anderson Silva is ‘driving him crazy’ and the Brazilian could become a one-dimensional fighter.

Silva’s manager Ed Soares has blamed the Brazilian’s last two opponents for the poor fights recently.

“I don’t agree with Ed’s theory of the UFC needing to get him more well rounded guys. One dimensional guys. Isn’t Anderson being one dimensional by not wanting to go to the ground? Just wanting to stand up?” White said to InsideFighting.com.

The UFC president is not happy with the way Silva won his last fight as he “had him on the ground, just smashing him. And then he would just stop, stand up and just walk away with his hands up like Thales Leites just did something wrong”.

“If Thales would have done something to Anderson that pissed him off, I guarantee you would have seen the same Anderson Silva we’ve seen for two and a half years. Dan Henderson embarrassed him and made him mad in the first round. Look what he did to Nate Marquardt or Chris Leben. Chris Leben has a chin like concrete,” he said.

“My problem with Anderson Silva right now is that he’s lost the killer instinct for some reason.”
