Cliffs from GSP's Combate interview:
''We always had a good relationship. I have nothing bad to say about anyone, specially him. Anderson was always a gentleman, always. He is an example, he is a legend, he is a model for sport, he is the best fighter who has ever stepped in the octagon. He is the best fighter of all time. Watching him fight is like being inside a sci-fi movie, like being in the Matrix movie, it's amazing, so much fun. I remember when he knocked out Vitor Belfort with a front kick, and I had never seen anything like it before. He does things that no one has ever done before, he is unbelievable, an incredible fighter. It is the best fighter that ever existed.''
''Everyone has their moment to shine, but you never shine forever. It's like a candle. You will have the fire there, the glow for a while, but the candle doesn't last forever. We all had our brilliant moments in the octagon. When you speak the best of all time, it is difficult to know who you are in the general discussion, it is impossible to say. Maybe you are the best at that time, at that time, in that fight, but if you fight again ten times you may never have the same performance against the same opponent again. So, whenever you have an experience, a fight, you are no longer the same person you were in the previous fight. You may be better or worse, because of your own experiences. But for me, without a doubt, on my list, Anderson Silva was the best of all time, pound for pound. In the mind of every martial artist, Anderson has to be there in the first place. The kind of thing he did we never saw from anyone else in the octagon. He was the first and in many ways he is still the one and only.''
