Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva is the former long time UFC middleweight king as well as arguably the greatest fighter of all time.
At one point in time Anderson was unbeatable and on whole different level than the competition. Now at 41 years of age, he is clearly in the twilight of his career and is looking to pick up a much needed win against top 10 ranked Derek Brunson at UFC 208 in a couple weeks.
Judging from this video from MMA Fighting on SBN, Anderson is taking preparation for this fight very seriously as he is training alongside one of the best in the division Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza.
In the footage, we see Anderson doing some pads alongside with some drills and light sparring with Jacare himself.
Jacare, who is one of the best grapplers in the UFC, has a fight himself that he’s preparing for which is also at UFC 208 against the always tough Tim Boetsch.
UFC 208 on February 11, 2017 is taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and is headlined by the inaugral UFC women’s featherweight championship bout pitting Holly Holm against Germaine de Randamie. Also on the card are a pair of top ranked middleweight bouts featuring the legendary Anderson Silva vs Derek Brunson and Jacare Souza vs Tim Boetsch, light heavyweights Glover Teixeira vs Jared Cannonier, and lightweights Dustin Poirier vs Jim Miller which has fight of the night written all over it.
