Anderson Silva trolls the media :-)

Anderson Silva, 39, has regularly amused himself by trolling the media, and that was in full effect at the UFC 183 Media Day. Rumors circulated that he had been knocked out in training. Then Silva confirmed that he had been KOed by RFA lightweight Khalil Rountree, who is 6-0 as an amateur and 2-0 as a pro.

“Yeah,” said Silva. “Khalil gave me a kick in the face. Boom.”

“Serious. When I finish the training, I go to paintball. I shoot at Khalil. I’m the best at paintball.”

Then the former UFC middleweight champion grinned widely, and, after a word with manager Ed Soares, confirmed that he was joking.

Silva was not joking however about Rountree.

“Khalil is the next champion at 185,” Silva said.
