UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (25-4) hasn’t fought since August where he defeated former UFC light-heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin handily at UFC 101. Since that time Silva’s undergone elbow surgery and has been trying to recover in time for his next bout against Vitor Belfort.

Silva had the chance to talk to Tatame.com about his recovery and his delay in training.

“I can’t train“, complains Anderson, ’threatening’ the doctor. “I wanna choke the doctor“, jokes, knowing that he needs to respect the recovering time. “I have to make the physiotherapy, there’s no way. The thing is to be calm, to see the right time. When it’s all right, I’ll go back to training“.

On the last week, a lot of rumors were talking about a possible return of Vitor Belfort on UFC 109, in February, and that Anderson may be his opponent. According to Silva, the return in February is not that right. “I don’t know, who decide is the doctor, but I’m here…“, said the champion, who may put the UFC’s belt in line for the second time against a Brazilian opponent.
