Chris Weidman e Anderson Silva are in Rio Janeiro to promote the rematch valid for the middleweight belt at UFC 168. However, before answering fans' questions, in Copacabana, the fighters, together with franchise president Dana White, visited the program 'Esporte Espetacular', from TV Globo. In the channel's studios they recalled the controversy faced when the athletes arrived to touch lips.
“It wasn’t a kiss, he didn’t take a step back and neither did I, so our faces were glued,” Anderson explained. At the moment of the new look, in a very friendly atmosphere and with laughter from both fighters, they put their hands in front of their mouths to avoid another peck.
