“Bruno is a guy I have great admiration for. We have already trained together at 'Team Nogueira', yes, for a few years”, said 'Spider', in an interview with 'Combate'.
To the delight of the fans, Anderson ensures that he is focused to put on a great show for the spectators of the confrontation. The Brazilian states that both he and his compatriot are fully capable of delivering a performance worthy of applause to the fans.
“It's an exhibition fight, but it's going to be a cool fight, both for him and for me. They both know how it works. We've done a lot of sparing together. We train together often, so we know each other's games. I believe it will be a great show,” he concluded.
The clash against Caveira marks Silva's third appearance in his 'post-UFC era'. Before his compatriot, the Brazilian achieved remarkable victories against the former world boxing champion, Julio César Chávez Jr., and against the former Ultimate star, Tito Ortiz. The latter, in fact, ended up being heavily knocked out by 'Spider' in the first round.
