Getting closer to the most important fight of his career, Thiago Silva faces Lyoto Machida on the fight that might define the next contender for the light heavyweight title. Training hard at American Top Team, Thiago still doesn’t have a strategy to face him. “I’m ready to fight. My preparation is good, I’m really focused. I came to now, but I was training in and will go to everything or nothing”, said Silva, that sees both athletes pretty equal at the division. “I think we both came where we are and faced great athletes, and who wins have all right to fight for the belt, and he has even more than me (laughs). But unfortunately I have to face another Brazilian fighter”, said the athlete to TATAME.
