UFC legend Anderson Silva would like to bring the middleweight title back to Brazil. The former champ wants one last chance of regaining the title he held for a record seven years between 2006-2013.
Silva managed to defend his middleweight title for seven years. During that time, he defended it ten consecutive times. Even though he is 40 years old now, he still craves to become the UFC champion once again. If anyone can do it, he can, and it would be worth putting free bets on him achieving this feat.

It was back in 2013 when Silva lost his title. He was knocked out by Chris Weidman and in the rematch, he shattered his leg during the second round. The fight had to be stopped, and Silva was on the sidelines recovering for over a year.
His comeback fight was at UFC 183 where he fought Nick Diaz. He managed to win the fight but did not look as good as he did before he got injured. His performance will lower his free bets odds once when he fights again. Silva`s next fight is against Michael Bisping from the UK and is taking place in February.
During a press conference, Silva said. "I have a dream that I'm going after, and that's to get that belt back, I'm going to do it. I'm going to try my best to get back there and get it done."
The former champ did not go into full details but said there was many reasons why he wanted to regain his title again. With Weidman recently losing the middleweight belt to Luke Rockhold, the door is open once again for him to have another opportunity to take the title.
It would have been hard for him to get a shot against the man who has beaten him twice .
Silva`s primary focus though, is his fight against Bisping. He will need to defeat the UK fighter in style if he is to get a chance to fight for the belt. Silva is the free bets favorite for the fight, but it certainly is not going to be easy for the Brazilian.
During the press conference, Silva said. "Definitely, some things have definitely changed. Definitely, I've had a change when I've looked at it, and I've definitely changed my mind. I'm very motivated to come back and prove that I'm still one of the best and that I'm going to bring this belt back to Brazil, It's just a matter of getting the opportunity to do that."
One of the main reason he may be so keen to bring back the belt to Brazil is his recent failed drug test. He may be looking for some form of redemption, but the fighter claims that this is not the reason.
Silva has been one of the biggest names in UFC history and said he will fight whoever they tell him to. The fighter is considered to be the best pound for pound mixed martial artist the sport has ever seen.
If he does come out unscathed from his fight in February, he will certainly put his name in the hat for a chance at the title. Punters will be looking out for the best free bets on him to make this, as you would be silly putting money against him, after all that he has achieved in the sport.
