On Saturday, the greatest fighter in UFC history, Anderson Silva, will fight for the first time since serving a one year suspension after testing positive for PEDs. ‘The Spider’ will be fighting England’s Michael Bisping, in front of a hometown crowd.

‘The Count’ has not been quiet about Silva doping violation.

“He can deny it all he wants, he can shut the media up, he can say, ‘I’m not talking about that’ all he wants, but everybody knows – he tested positive for three banned substances, one of them a performance-enhancing drug,” said Bisping to MMA Fighting. “Any fancy excuses he likes, he tested positive. It’s in the record books, and he served his suspension. And this is Anderson Silva, a guy that’s the perfect example of a martial artist. … A guy that works hard, doesn’t take shortcuts, and is capable of anything. That’s inspirational! Then it comes out that the guy was cheating the whole time, the guy was a fraud, the guy was a coward. He was taking steroids, was cheating the system, cheating the fans.

“For me, that’s very disappointing, massively disappointing, disappointing for everybody. And he can try and push it under the carpet all he wants, but that ain’t ever gonna go away. And he takes offense in the fact that I dare to mention it. That I dare to mention that in your last fight you took steroids? That is extremely relevant my friend! Don’t think for one second that I’m gonna let you forget that. You should be ashamed of yourself.”

On the latest UFC Embedded episode, Silva showed genuine emotion when both fighters had an awkward encounter in a hallway.

“If he talks s***, he is f***ed, because I’ll beat his ass,” said Silva to his entourage in his native Portuguese. “No blah blah blah, he’s gonna be f***ed. If he talks s***, he’s f***ed.”

Saturday night we will find out who is what, live on UFC Fight Pass.
