On December 28th, when the gong rings for the rematch between Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman, the answer will be given to the question that has intrigued MMA fans since the main fight of UFC 168 was announced: how will Spider act in the reunion with his tormentor? For Rogério Camões, Anderson's physical trainer, the Brazilian will be much better, due to the constant presence of his family throughout the preparation.
“He is with his family providing all the support at his home, which is very close to the training site and that makes a big difference in the end,” said Camões. Unlike other opportunities, Anderson's family went with him to the United States during training, which is being carried out at the “Muay Thai College” gym, which belongs to the athlete himself, in the city of Los Angeles.
The X-Gym leader also believes that the pressure will only serve to motivate Spider even more. “Anderson has a very good mind, he will overcome himself, and that is what I trust. There has always been pressure, there always will be, but he is completely adapted to it. The pressure makes him grow, he's always lived like this, even when he wasn't champion, and the fact that he lost the belt now doesn't change that. “, he stated. “While he is psychologically well, the technique flows naturally, because he is a phenomenon in terms of skill and has an incredible arsenal of strikes. Furthermore, he has a group of experienced coaches, who know him very well and are developing the right strategy for us to return home with the victory and the belt”, he concluded.
