Anderson Silva has been training for the past month at Black House in California.  For two weeks he trained with Rich Franklin and developed a good friendship with him.  Wanderlei Silva was a bit pissed off at Anderson for training an American to fight against a Brazilian.  Pissed off to the point that Wanderlei would like to fight Anderson.  As Anderson puts it, the sport is global and you have to consistently help it grow.  He already had plans to train Rich even before Wanderlei was set for the fight.  He made an offer and he wasn’t going to turn it down.  So, maybe after Forrest and Anderson get down at UFC 101, we’ll see some action between Wanderlei and Anderson…

Right now, Anderson Silva’s looking unbeatable, but this wasn’t always the case. Anderson Silva has just losses and 23 wins. His loss to Yushin Okami was actually due to a DQ, Silva kicked Okami in the head while in Okami’s guard, it was pretty nuts. Having said that, I really only count 3 losses in Silva’s book. Here’s a Pride 26 loss that was recently posted to break. In the following video Anderson Silva gets caught in a triangle 8:33 into the first round. The entire fight Daiju Takase had the upper hand almost putting Anderson Silva into a variety of submissions, but in the end, he catches Anderson with a sick Triangle. Daiju Takase’s got some series BJJ skills.

Anderson Silva put on quite a show during UFC 90. His strategy was to confuse Patrick Cote on Saturday night as he constantly changed positions, moved in and out and played around with a variety of martial arts styles, including wing chung. Overall, Anderson feels that it was effective. Anderson states that Patrick couldn’t find him, so his style was effective. Although some may think that he was playing around, he says that he wasn’t there to play, he was there to win.

UFC 90, what can I say… The UFC has seen better main events. The night started off with a full intense three round fight between Sean Sherk and Tyson Griffin, Griffin’s striking skills looked excellent, it was a close bout, but in the end, Sherk won the decision. The next bout of the night, Fabricio Werdum vs Junior dos Santos. To everyone’s surprise, Dos Santos dropped Fabricio in record time.  The next fight, Gray Maynard vs Rich Clementi, boring… Next, Josh Koscheck vs Thiago Alves.  From the start Thiago’s striking skills outmatched Koscheck.  Early in the first, Koscheck was rocked, but recovered amazingly fast.  With time, Koscheck’s confidence picked up and he was looking better and better, until Alves started punishing him with leg kicks.  The kicks were clearly damaging Koscheck who was getting weaker and weaker on his legs, and in the end, Koscheck showed a ton of heart, but lost in a decision.

The final bout of the night was quite an upset.  Anderson Silva vs Patrick Cote.  Anderson Silva felt Cote out for the majority of the first round.  I don’t know if he was stalling for the bookies, or if he was planning for a 5 round fight.  Silva showed some striking skills in the first, but didn’t really begin to start his punishment until late in the second.  Silva landed a number of strikes, and was playing around having fun showing off some unorthodox skills such as the flower motion. Finally in the third, just when Anderson was starting to explode, Cote’s knee buckled, ACL appeared to pop, and the fight was called off with an injury TKO, what a friggin upset.

Anderson Silva recently stated that he wishes to retire from Mixed Martial Arts when he turns 35.  He’s currently 33.  Part of the reason for him leaving the sport, he feels that there’s not a lot left for him to do in the sport.  But Micheal Bisping disagrees, “I think there are a lot of good fights at middleweight for him – me being one of them”, Bisping stated to the UK’s Sun.  But with all fairness, he additionally states, “Anderson is the pound for pound best in the world – an unbelievable fighter.”… “But that said, I want to get a pop at the guy before he retires.”

Don’t get me wrong, but didn’t Bisping just barely beat Chris Leben?  A third round decision over Chris Leben for Bisping isn’t that impressive.  If I remember correctly, Anderson Silva dropped Chris Leben 49 seconds into the first round of their UFN event.  Yes, Leben is more fit, etc, etc, but so is Silva. Bisping is for sure a class act, but I think he’s out of his mind wanting to fight Anderson Silva, I might be wrong, time will only tell.

Here’s a sneak peek of Anderson Silva and Patrick Cote training separately for their upcoming UFC 90 fight against each other.  You have to fast forward a bit through Dana White’s video blog, but I’d suggest watching the entire video, it’s pretty interesting to see some of the prep work Dana does leading up to an event.  It’s also pretty funny to hear Anderson talk about his wife seeing the All Access video of Anderson with Rachelle Leah and how she wanted to know more about who Rachelle Leah was… hahaha! It’s nobody, just the girl on the cover of the US Playboy Magazine.

Anderson Silva is ready for his match up with Patrick Cote at UFC 90, he expects to exchange some strikes with Cote. He knows that all of his opponents have some weak spots, so he is going to look to those weak spots to defeat Cote. Anderson thinks that Patrick is confident and he likes that, it makes for a better fight. If Cote thinks that he’s going to knock out Silva or submit him in the third round, “good” Silva says. But there’s a chance that he will get knocked out or submitted by Silva in the first round. And this is what I like most about Anderson Silva, he prefers not to talk so much, he prefers to go in there and just show people, and I’m sure that’s what he will do.
