元ＰＲＩＤＥ王者シウバ引退「とても悲しい日だ」
2014年9月21日(日)7時1分配信
元ＰＲＩＤＥミドル級王者の総合格闘家ヴァンダレイ・シウバ（３８＝ブラジル）が１９日、引退を表明した。００年代前半のＰＲＩＤＥ全盛期に桜庭和志らの好敵手として日本でも活躍し、０７年にＵＦＣ入り。
だが、今夏に予定されていた試合で薬物検査を拒否したためＵＦＣが一方的に欠場を発表し、両者の関係は悪化していた。「（ＵＦＣにより）戦う望みを断たれた。もう戦うことはない。とても悲しい日だ」とコメントした。
２０日に行われたＵＦＣの日本大会に出場した秋山成勲（３９）は２年７カ月ぶり復帰戦での勝利後にシウバとの次戦対決を希望したが、シウバの引退を知らされ「憧れの選手だったのでショックです」とコメントした。

Wanderlei Silva rips the UFC, announces his retirement

Wanderlei Silva will never fight again.
More than a year after his last fight inside the Octagon, and still involved a controversy with the Nevada Athletic Commission, the former PRIDE champion has announced his retirement on YouTube. And he blames the UFC for his decision.
"I am stepping down from the ring. After today, Wanderlei Silva will not fight again," he said. "My career is over. Because I don't have a stage to perform, where the athletes get the proper respect. For these reasons, I have had enough.
"They tried to turn my fans against me. My fans, who have followed me for 20 years, before this promotion even existed I was already fighting in Brazil. I have fought bare-knuckle and I helped building this sport. Everything you see today, I helped build with my sweat and blood."
Silva, who hasn’t fought since an epic second-round knockout victory over Brian Stann, ends his MMA career with a professional record of 35-12-1 with one no-contest.
