Anderson Silva In his first public statement since testing positive for a pair of steroids, former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva denied using any performance-enhancing drugs and said he’ll fight to clear his name. “My stances on drug is, and will always be the same,” Silva said in the statement, sent to MMAjunkie via his co-manager, Jorge Guimares. “I am an advocate for a clean sport.” In the pay-per-view headliner of this past Saturday’s UFC 183 event, Silva (34-6 MMA, 17-2 UFC) returned from a 13-month layoff due to a broken leg and won a decision against Nick Diaz (26-10 MMA, 7-7 UFC), who failed a post-fight test for marijuana. The UFC announced the test results Tuesday night.
