Former UFC and PRIDE champion, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has been speaking about what he expects when he sits down octagon side to watch Anderson Silva defend his middleweight title against Vitor Belfort, explaining “The Spider” will prove he’s a real showman and prove he has a trick up his sleeve for any occasion.Speaking via Tatame Magazine, Nogueira said:
“Vitor is a guy with very good striking, good on the floor, good in wrestling, is complete. Anderson is a genius of the sport with rage, heart – a real showman. He can do a little more than the other fighters do and always has a trick in the sleeve and knows how to use it very well.”
“The public will enjoy this fight and I will be in the front row. I already was team mate of both but now I am Anderson’s partner and root for him. I came to Brazil to find a way to help his trainings.”
Silva was last seen in action in August, winning in the fifth and final round via triangle choke after being dominated by Chael Sonnen for the entirety of the bout. Prior to that he’d put in a disappointing performance against Demian Maia and will be looking to erase these performances from the memory of many when he squares off with Belfort next month.
