UFC middleweight champion and mixed martial arts top pound for pound fighter Anderson Silva (28-4) traded in his fight gloves for a cornerman's towel for one night in Arizona. Longstanding Arizona promotion Rage in the Cage booked two of Silva's fighters Paulo Goncalves Silva and Damaso Pereira for RITC 150 versus local Phoenix based fighters.
In the fighters locker room ULTMMA.com (
www.ULTMMA.com) tracked down Silva for a brief off-the-cuff chat. With a Portuguese to English interpreter in tow, Silva elected to go the less formal route and speak to us in English. Silva opens up about being a MMA coach, his new documentary set to debut at the Tribeca Film Festival and possible fights at welterweight or light heavyweight with Georges St/ Pierre and Jon Jones.
