Wanderlei Silva puts UFC on blast in retirement video

Via another extremely dramatic and over produced video posted on his official YouTube page, one of the most revered mixed martial artists of all-time announced his retirement from the sport today.

Unfortunately, this organization took away my desire to fight. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t be treated this way. And with a heavy heart I come here today to declare: I am stepping down from the ring. After today, Wanderlei Silva will of fight again. My career is over.

As the years pass, Wanderlei will be remembered more for his work inside of the rings and cages across the world than his recent dramatics outside of them over the past handful of years. We wish Wand nothing but the best in his future endeavors, and thank him for everything that he gave the sport over the years. We’ll have much more on Wand and his career in the coming weeks.
