This is an article about Anderson Silva in which he talks about several interesting themes.
For instance:
On Chael Sonnen, whom he dueled inside and outside the Octagon for two years. "I think he is a hell of a marketer. I am to see someone selling the UFC like him. "
On Burger King: Silva joked about the fact that, due to being famous, he no longer needs to pay to eat out, especially at restaurants of one of his biggest sponsors. "Now I don't pay anymore for my snacks...specially at Burger King!"
About retiring: When asked if UFC would experience a lack of charismatic athletes (once he retires): "Talking like this is somewhat unfair because I believe that there are many colleagues who also have charisma and this sport allows them the same space. But at the same time, I recognize that, on the two occasions I fought in Brazil, the event was sold out and had record audience on TV and in PPV. That is fact. And although I do not like to appreciate myself, I must acknowledge my value, after all, the TV Globo and Dana are very happy when I fight, right? "
About filming with Steven Seagal: "It was a wonderful invitation and a challenge, because I work in English, and I do not have an English as fluent yet. But it's a very cool experience. I'm preparing with Luiz Mario [Vicente, trainer of actors] and Johnny Ara
