Retired from MMA since 2021, Ronaldo Jacare admitted knowing a side of Anderson Silva that few fans notice. In participation in the program 'The Chinelapa Show', the former Strikeforce champion revealed that he admires the mixed martial arts legend, but pondered his compatriot's supposed questionable personality.

“Anderson is falsely humble. I've seen him deny photos with fans and mistreat some people”, said Ronaldo in one of the show's scenes, in an excerpt published by 'Sexto Round'.

Even with his speech, Jacaré made a point of highlighting the importance of 'Spider' for mixed martial arts. According to the jiu-jitsu legend, as a fighter, Anderson cannot be questioned.

"He is the best of the world. He is in MMA history,” he concluded.

Considered by many to be the best fighter of all time, Silva today dedicates himself to boxing presentations. Since leaving the UFC at the end of 2020, the Brazilian, now 47 years old, has made three commitments in the 'noble art', putting on a show in every fight. His last clash took place in May, when the veteran shared the ring with compatriot Bruno Caveira.
