Anderson Silva is addicted on fights, but the elbow injury forced the UFC middleweight champion to take some months of forced vacations, even more after the surgery. And for someone who was on the octagon 12 times on the last four years, a few months is too much time.

“I can’t train“, complains Anderson, ’threatening’ the doctor. “I wanna choke the doctor“, jokes, knowing that he needs to respect the recovering time. “I have to make the physiotherapy, there’s no way. The thing is to be calm, to see the right time. When it’s all right, I’ll go back to training“.

On the last week, a lot of rumors were talking about a possible return of Vitor Belfort on UFC 109, in February, and that Anderson may be his opponent. According to Silva, the return in February is not that right. “I don’t know, who decide is the doctor, but I’m here...“, said the champion, who may put the UFC’s belt in line for the second time against a Brazilian opponent.

COMPLEMENTS TO THE “MINI ANDERSON“

Last Wednesday (18), José Aldo conquered the WEC featherweight title, and what José Aldo made passing thru the American Mike Brown gave him the nickname “Mini Anderson“, and reference to the six knockout victories on the event.

“Man, I get really happy to be a reference, it’s nice that people thinks that... We’re training a lot to see the results“, Anderson said, complementing Aldo’s performance. “This guy is a talent, a young kid that’s building his space. He has a great team behind him and he has everything to stay as champion for many years and to bring more happiness to his team and to Brazil“.
