Silva Mocks White: 'The Bald Guy' Feud Reignites

Years after Anderson Silva's contentious exit from the UFC, his feud with promotion head Dana White has resurfaced. White recently remarked to Rolling Stone that Silva still doesn't speak to him, attributing it to White telling the Brazilian his UFC career was over following a 2020 knockout loss. Silva, known as 'The Spider,' did not let this pass without comment. He posted a stinging reply in an Instagram comment section, referring to White as 'the bald guy,' an ironic jab given White's own baldness. Silva asserted that neither current fighters nor White can forget his accomplishments, implying a continued inability to move past his legacy within the organization. He also questioned White's counting ability regarding his fight record. During his final UFC run, Silva lost seven of his last nine bouts, including two title defeats. Notable wins included against Derek Brunson and Nick Diaz, though the latter result was later overturned due to failed drug tests for both fighters. This exchange indicates that despite the passage of time and Silva's departure, their past grievances still hold considerable sting.
