Last Friday (20), quite excited by the news, Anderson Silva announced that he would do his first sparring training since the fracture in his left leg, suffered in December last year during the rematch against Chris Weidman. Spider trained in boxing at the Team Nogueira gym, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), and took the opportunity to answer questions from a little fan, assuring that he will return to the octagon and giving details about his current physical condition.
“I'll get better, but I'm already fine. I just can't do two things: jump and kick. Besides, I can do anything”, said Anderson, who also answered the question about the date of his return. “Next year (I’ll be back). I'm giving you my 'boy scout word', it's next year”, he added.
Furthermore, Anderson took the opportunity to leave a message for his fans. "What's up guys. I'm here at Team Nogueira, training with my master Edelson – the boxing beast. I'm coming back soon. I'm back home, I'm already here at my home: Team Nogueira. I still have a lot of empty bottles to sell”, said the former middleweight champion.
