Anderson Silva was surprised by Chris Weidman at UFC 162, in July, and saw the longest winning streak of an athlete inside the Octagon fall. However, for the rematch against the North American, the Brazilian reveals that he will not change his game to regain the organization's middleweight belt.

“I'm not changing much. If I changed, I wouldn't be myself”, said Spider, revealing his mistake in the duel in front of Chris. “The only thing I saw with my coaches that I did wrong was having my legs parallel (when he was knocked out). That was the only mistake we made in the fight”, added the champion in an interview with the program “Esporte Espetacular”, on Rede Globo.

Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman are in Brazil to promote the middleweight title rematch that takes place at UFC 168, December 28th, in Las Vegas. This afternoon, the fighters, along with UFC president Dana White, will be in Copacabana answering questions from fans. On Monday, they travel to São Paulo for a press conference.
