Anderson the Spider Silva is widely regarded as the greatest mixed martial artist to ever compete in the sport. That is why it is so hard to believe that he is just 0-2-1 in his last 3, hasn’t won a fight in over 3 ½ years, and is on the heels of a year long suspension for steroids, which he claimed he was taking because he was not impressed by his performance, or something like that. Yes, the GOAT has had troubled times of late, but least we forget.. He is still Anderson Silva, and he can probably still beat up just about anyone you have ever met, not named Chris Weidman.

In this video, we see Anderson Silva sparring lightly with UFC welterweight Erick Silva. Around the 0:04 mark, we see Andy take a page right out of the Cobra Kai handbook, and he sweeps Erick’s leg right out from under him. A slick and effective move that we haven’t seen in Anderson’s arsenal before. Perhaps he has sought the training of Master Seagal again? I did see a video the other day of him doing some kind of weird lunge, on a Smith machine, wearing an altitude mask.. So that was probably Seagal also. Matter of fact I was eating a sandwich the other day and I was thinking to myself, wow, sliced bread is awesome. Also Seagal..

Whether he has been working secret techniques with Sifu, grinding it out at the gym, or just simply watching the Karate Kid every night before he goes to bed, Anderson Silva will face Michael Bisping on February 27, 2016, live on UFC Fight Pass, from the O2 Arena in London. This is a match up that the hardcore fans, and Bisping himself have been clamoring about for years. Well, the wait is finally over. Now we just have to wait and see if the Spider comes back in vintage form, or if the Brit will finally prove to the world he is ready for his shot at the belt? Tune in February 27, and we will find out!
