By bjpenndotcom - January 27, 2017

Former UFC middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva may currently be gearing up for his UFC 208 scrap with Derek Brunson, where he hopes to snap a 2-fight skid, however the former pound for pound kingpin has been working on quite the massive side project.

‘The Spider’ spoke to Combate:

“My biggest dream, right now, is to maybe win an Oscar,” Silva said. “I got some auditions to do in Hollywood. I wrote a script for a series and Netflix bought it, thank God. I got other projects apart from fighting. It was always my dream to become an action movie actor. I have been studying that for a while and now things are finally happening.”

“It’s an action show, but it has nothing to do with fighting,” Silva said. “It doesn’t have a name yet, we’re still adapting it to script and we’ll settle on a name once it’s all done. I had to stop for awhile, but I’m always working on it, you know, it’s annoying. I’m always writing, putting ideas on paper, before I go to bed and after I wake up.”

Silva has made several appearances on the big screen over the course of the past decade, appearing in several shows and films, including an episode of NSIC: Los Andeles, in which he played a martial arts expert named Sensei Scott.

While Silva is ranked at #7 on the UFC’s official middleweight rankings, his lone win in his last 5 fights was overturned to a no contest after he failed a drug test. With the Diaz fight now being marked as a no contest, Silva is just 0-4 in his last 5 fights, with the 5th being the no contest, which broke up two separate two-fight skids.

Only time will tell if Anderson Silva is able to defeat Brunson and mov one step closer to the middleweight title once again.
