Anderson Silva: “I changed some, others I didn’t. But I don't have much to change. I will use the same strategy as always.”
Question: You are an undefeated fighter who has already defended the belt more than seven times. He is a renowned athlete. Do you still have the motivation to fight?
Anderson Silva: “I'm motivated, because I do what I like and what I do best. This is gratifying and this is my main motivation.”
Question: Do you think Vitor might want to take the fight to the ground? How prepared are you for this?
Anderson Silva: “It is impossible to predict this. I'm training standing up, on my side, on my back, underwater, with my foot on the wall. I trained everything I could. I just know it will be as funny as always.”
