+ni co That IS a problem, but many other men have this problem including me, if that makes you feel better.

[@BlazingMagpie]

ni co That was quick response. 21. I know, I'm not really old.

[@mateuscordova7665]

+St KRU hahahahaha I laughed so hard bro. Anderson Silva has great MMA skills but his english is so fucking bad u know?

"I'm spiderman, man"

[@firstlast-qv7fn]

regardless of what you think or feel about The Spider. You can't lie and say you wouldn't take lessons from him

[@BoyDanny93]

i love that Silva is improving his english skills

[@juanpancho7520]

He's always spoken english, he just doesn't want to..

[@Dav963]

Juan Pancho He got way better in the last years.

[@MartialMind]

Man this was amazing to watch.

[@k2m524]

Sup Martial

[@drippydizz4030]

Ayeeeee the boy

[@grishamuberalles8014]

YOOO MARTIALL!!!

[@Y4J]

""If I teach you, always up your hands!" "But you..." "No!" "But what if..." "NO!" Gotta love Anderson.

[@Andrew-Seedootree]

He is a superb teacher! He is practical and makes everything easy to understand.

[@xart23x]

You can tell Spider is hesitant to let go these tips, champion mentality...Crazy how much has to be learned in mma.

[@TappaTop]

"I black belt..I black man"!! LMAO

[@EdgarGarciaTv]

The goat

[@Rizaldjohan]

by the way this is one bloody useful and free 12 minute lesson. thanks so much!

[@dp1569]

+Rizal Djohan Classic right there.

[@Thizlamic]

Dude, Verhooven is a freakin GIANT.

[@Wick410]

Yeah he is

[@MF-pm5dh]

silva's the chillest dude in ufc. one of the reasons why he's one of the most deadly also.

[@Фоппа]

I love watching Anderson and Fedor teach techniques

[@613and802]

His knowledge and technique is so impressive and he does a great job teaching it, especially since it is in English and not Portuguese.

[@snowflake1qoable]

It's gonna be scary when he opens up a gym in Brazil like he's planning .. All those damn Brazilian fighters our good enough as it is , now there gonna have Anderson training and teaching them lol

[@LucianoCampos]

x33mmm its not over yet, unless he wants to finish his career like that. (9 months from now and he is back training(if he wants to) and weidman wont keep that belt for a long time, that belt is gonna spin around.

[@PONYBOYonline]

x33mmm I doubt Weidman will "reign" over the UFC, but he deserves the belt he has right now.

[@edercassiovieiras]

Luciano Campos proximo campeão vitor belfort

[@proserastartupsolutions5745]

@x33mmm man this comment didn't age well

[@MrKAHutch]

The smartest UFC fighter in the game.

[@dannyscott3849]

ye so smart he tried to be cocky and got knocked the fuck out

[@FruitBooterNY]

***** he did not "try to be cocky" he played mind games to psych Chris out( which was and always will be a smart move ). unfortunately Chris did his homework.

[@DimitriMoreira]

***** Ok, look. Weidman is a great fighter. Just take a look for a moment, the guys he fought and HOW he won. Maia? what? suffered with the guy. Munoz? with a depression. There's no way in hell Weidman would've won that fight if Anderson wasn't so stupid. That may have been the worst Anderson fight, ever. He wasn't clever or intelligent. He kept NOT being aggressive, which was very weird, and he kept asking for Weidman to attack him. Hence, why people believe that fight was only won so that Weidman could rebuild his home. I'm NOT saying that I believe this, Weidman won fair and square, and if Anderson was a jackass, it's his problem. But the second fight become clear. Weidman got ONE punch right. The rest of the first round was Anderson punishing him FROM THE GROUND. He was not on top! He was on defensive, yet, at the final of the first round, Anderson wasn't even sweat, while Weidman had blood all over his face and a broken nose. Weidman wouldn't last another round, fortunately for him, Anderson broke his leg. That fight he was not kidding, and it became very very clear. Hence, again, why Weidman said to Joe after the fight that "no, i still think that people doubt me, this was not a convincing winning." Simple as that.

[@specron12]

Dimitri Moreira dude are u dumb weidman dominated the first round and almost knocked out the spider again but then silva survived somehow and then broke his leg...im a anderson silva fan believe me but hes just not the same silva that he used to be for example his last two fights were against sonnen first fight against sonnen he barely and amazingly pulled off a last second triangle choke then the rematch he gets takin down again easily in the first round again 2nd round sonnen got scared and stopped throwing punches then the spider knocked him out but my point is those fights were nothing like his past fights with amazing front kick knockouts to making people look stupid af hes just getting old his body isnt as young as it was his time is over in my opinion silva would have lost even if he didnt break his leg 1 because wiedman was not scared of him at all and thats silvas number one defense the mind games ...anyway weidman beat the spider twice no matter how you look at it sure he could have done this or that but he didnt he lost his times over with but he is still a legend and the goat of mma

[@garydexter8956]

Dimitri Moreira well said.

[@danzig159]

Most amazing martial artist out there. Doesn't matter how it ended, Silva is the Dragon!

[@Jaikay1]

The black guy towards the end knew how to communicate with Silva well - there's a certain way of helping others to speak a language by asking more questions, it's cool to see when people understand that, and he got his question answered.

[@gabrielaraujo6286]

what is your favorite jiu jitsu top move... anderson silva stands up lolol this is the best jiu jitsu top move

[@grapla]

I see a future coach

[@TheIcekake]

true that, his moves are really practical and easy to understand.

[@Skorzeny64]

grapla Yep definitely but not to English Speaking Students ha ha... Maybe for Portuguese Speakers he will be a Great Coach because so much is LOST in Translation otherwise..

[@reeciebehere]

Ray Staff I understood what he meant perfectly though. I mean sometimes it's a good thing to have to pay more attention to body language and he's talking nice and slow and demonstrating. I don't think there'd be a fighter alive who wouldn't love to have some coaching from Silva.

[@chadb.thatflyguy101]

Yes. that was excellent ! His English has come a long way too. He's really become quite personable over the past few years. Awesome coaching !

[@nathansps3]

grapla Does anyone know what the technique at 3:25 is called ?

[@TheDurden84]

Thanks for posting this! Great to see a different side of Anderson, he should have loads of fighters going to his gym when he retires. I can't wait for the rematch! Chris and Anderson are both very humble fighters and I honestly don't care who wins. Lots of fun watching two top level guys compete.

[@kasperancher]

I hope Silva wins, i mean who dosnt wanna see the greatest succeed? :) If Ali was still fighting i would cheer for him as well :) There's just some sort of mystical aura around those guys with their styles and techniques that i dont see on Weidman. I think Weidman is good, but i dont see him defending his belt more than 3 times and thats if he passes Silva again.

[@cristialecu]

One of the gratest fighters in history also seems like a really nice guy...We will miss you Anderson!

[@planetStreeter]

Everyone knows Anderson is the most skilled and cerebral combatant. This video is good because it reminds us of that. No one else will say this but I think anderson's age is catching up to him, which is ok because we've seen the best out of him. I say let him leave from being a competitor and teach the young combatants coming up so that they too will become just as skilled and cerebral as he is. This will make MMA a more beautiful sport.

[@mrShade-sb1th]

you were right :D

[@Ahbusicarii12]

His Sons will take over the sport… hands down.

[@jbass765]

@@Ahbusicarii12 I wouldn't expect that especially Dagestani's are making a name in MMA since the rise of Khabib. Not that I am very big fan of them or something. But They're a force to be reckoned with especially if they came from Abdulmanap. Some of them are such impressive strikers at the same time very elite grapplers. MMA is very stacked compared to the days of Anderson Silva

[@conorfrancis6611]

Its awesome to see Anderson teaching Rico some things

[@gabrielgarcia437]

Dude, id LOVE to be tought by anderson silva like this.. even if for a few minutes.. its an honor and i already learned plenty from this video.. even tho its hard to explain things in english i dont give a flying shit basket. id hire a translator to come and translate everything..

[@rmfree6967]

This was really cool. I could watch these all day.lol

[@cflo1386]

His perspective on three different moves from three different fights was very informative I love videos like this.

[@michaelcollins4237]

Anderson is a God amongst men. He will be taking his title back on December 28th. 10pm est, 7pm pst and only on PPV.

[@IsaiahBenjamin96]

Yea (Anderson silva voice)

[@MrSegsi]

lol

[@MrSamslam05]

Anderson Silva will always be the Champion to me. Live the skill and the Man. Get well my Brother.

[@Hobolion]

Because he's not repeatedly being asked the same questions by reporters and interviewers, and he's actually talking about stuff that he enjoys talking about.

[@aryanazaankhan]

Just imagine how great this seminar would have been if Anderson had fluent English.

[@Rizaldjohan]

6:05 that's why for single leg, head inside :) head outside only for double leg. anyways, what an amazing man. one of the toppest fighter in the world of MMA but very humble and friendly

[@chrisXDfull]

no even now u dont shoot a double with the leg on the outside a lot of wrestler still make that mistake during their transition into mma

[@malato4ever]

silva is a great champion and a great man

[@TheChicalozza]

he is the best!

[@juandenz2008]

Damn ! Anderson Silva dropped some knowledge here !!

[@Schnikle_fritz]

how bad ass is it the Anderson is telling fucking Rico Verhoeven whats up!!

[@WegaBoy]

Blows my mind how anyone could compare izzy to this man. Silva is true master of martial arts.

[@jesus96391]

He is still and allways will be the best anderson silva!

[@nvanguy6868]

I love this guy so much hes so nice and respectful andhes so smart and such a killer

[@ososkic8673]

Anderson silva and fedor emilianenko are forever immortal for me and I dont care who comes with time those to will forever be the greatest.

[@marcsander6942]

Rico Verhoeven "The King of Kickboxing" 💪🏻👍🏻

[@ciaranmccusker5080]

Great to see the legand looking happy he looks like hes in a good place and hopefully tat injury is gone and wen he throes a leg kick it doesn't go again

[@Chilla_We]

great personality miss him

[@Uzuchiha08]

Anderson for TUF

[@NcountR]

ANDERSON vs DIAZ get hype!

[@yaotmacfrancis]

his english improved so much. Proud of him.

[@tonybeable7671]

'I have black belt in Jiu Jitsu....I black man!' Hahahaha :')

[@tonybeable7671]

8:24 haha

[@randomnumbers84269]

I heard him say "I'm black metal" lol

[@addinhowtobasic]

but the other guy is Wideman or is he White man.. haha .. ha..

[@Shoazda1]

Great video, nice to see Anderson has humble himself a bit. He s also a god teacher.

[@keithdeawesome]

The last clinch technique that he only shows once at the end of a video, that is just genius! It combines all the techniques, albeit requiring abit of strength.

[@SlickSkiMask]

Amazing how he taught these guys something new with in a hour and correcting them on what they thought they knew.

[@JustinGarfield1]

Good stuff. Anderson your my fav fighter.

[@TboneTenEighties]

I can tell A Silva is super comfortable within himself.

[@SHADOWACTUAL]

I kinda gained some respect for him as a person in this one. Respect for him as a fighter? That's a given.

[@deemma4486]

one and only Anderson Silva,simply the best mma fighter of all the time.

[@fbshamrock]

the last move that Anderson shows to breake the clinch is awesome!

[@RashidOmar]

Ich liebe den Kerl, Anderson ist mit abstand der beste den es jemals gab.

[@mattwilliams4807]

Anderson admits his style is not proper technique. It's the mma version of Roy Jones Jr. Drop your hands and flow from angles your opponents cannot expect. The speed to dodge punches is essential. Most guys just aren't that quick.

[@JamesBond-p7]

great analogy sir... but because of awkwardness and lack of Backbone which is the "basics" once pass their youth and prime means the beginning of the struggle.

[@thomasmei3443]

his distance control and timing coupled with his mastered head movement. He can keep his hands low as much as he wants.

[@TheSnakeskill0012]

I knew I recognized Verhoeven. Two of my favorites two legends

[@fizicstv5342]

"Ppl say I es done in UFC -- is normal-- trust me, chris weidman best in big sport, UFC -- okay? -- but I back now -- trust me, I beat chrees weidman -- I steel ready to fight UFC -- I broke my leg, but trust me, ees normal -- I wont fight Machida but trust me, thats it." -- Anderson Silva

[@Dan0101010101010]

hes so technical and bright when it comes to fighting

[@sourwords1808]

So much technical stuff you need to know. Blow's my mind.

[@adventuroustravelearth5493]

The Master.. Awesome video thanks for sharing

[@Jaikay1]

'i'm black belt!' 8:23 - hahah, Anderson is hilarious. Sort of reminded me of my dad trying to act cool lmao I love it.

[@Vrig]

+Jaikay1 He says "I black belt,.... I black man!"

[@kauangabriel3657]

One of the True Mystical fighters

[@fernandofelix6209]

Very good Mister Anderson Silva

[@hotcurry99]

I fucking love anderson silva. Man i wish i could meet him one day id be so happy!

[@Rbugland]

Love that guy! Such a nice dude and so lethal.

[@CharlesRunkle]

Wow, Silva is a great instructor too, hope he will be training some future champs.

[@NebunalWinterstorms]

Rico Verhoeven asking the first question! Also I see the guy from the London Real podcast in the background.

[@hallugi]

i like rico great kickboxer and very strong

[@GSPRockNRoll]

this is the most ive heard anderson talk

[@LuizFernandoPersonalGamer]

Anderson volta a lutar meu irmão, um abraço

[@W84life_to_end]

The spider and Roy Jones jr are the goats of mma and boxing. Just my humble opinion. Most natural fighters ever.

[@Barracuda487]

The knowledge of combatives this guy has is amazing.

[@Kevinrice0]

Just remember no matter who is on top, they will fall... unless you change your style constantly. Even then, their are no promises.

[@DexterHaven]

Interviewer: Anderson, how do you feel about a faint, 1 3 5 7 attack and a stunt block check counter to a single leg with a 4 5 6 strike? Silva: Oh, that's normal.

[@speed497]

Teacher Spider 'The Best'

[@robert10832]

I guess its good that it's not a press conference or we would need a translator

[@navpal8567]

Pound for pound one of the best fighters in the history of MMA. In his prime, he was untouchable. There was some change in his fighting style prior to him breaking his leg. I think messing around with Steven Segal's BS aikido, got him messed up. I think he came back to his senses now. I train in Muay Thai, and would to get a class from him.

[@HipHopPush]

Anderson is the best, and will achieve legendary status in the UFC. When he had his hands down in the weidman fight so many people were saying he was disrespectful to his opponent. As we all know that was not true! He's been fighting with his hands down from day one! That's just his fuckin style get over it! You all didn't mind him using that style when he was winning, why complain about it now! Fuckin hypocrites!

[@brunintictac]

Anderson silva é do BRASILLL

[@colinmorgan2660]

That last one from the clinch when he brings his arms inside for Koshinage (hip-throw) we do this in Aikido funnily enough i was doing this early 1980's. Lots o good stuff that people such as Anderson and others know, is done in aikido believe it or not except the muay thai clinch behind the head we just have two arm front choke around the throat. Love Anderson to bits.

[@megasif]

I think you mean Judo Aikido is too fake.

[@colinmorgan2660]

No aikido. People don't know or see half.

[@megasif]

Colin Morgan All I see is men wanting to roll around. Dude, I tried Aikido on my big buddy and he ain't moving. Just saying.

[@colinmorgan2660]

haha yes that is what a lot of people think. Not sure how long you practiced for though?

[@megasif]

All I know is that it doesn't work. Only certain moves work. If it works, it would be in the UFC. A lot of people practice it.

[@HybreedTheory]

Love this dude..legend

[@yungcloud4839]

This man is the Michael Jordan of the UFC, no matter what he will be remembered as the GOAT love it, or hate it.

[@petelebu]

anderson is a technical guru above all his skills, as if he didnt have enough already...

[@shamwow70]

lolol holy cow, you really get an idea of how good he really is when you hear him teach.

[@peacefworld]

the guy was such a dominant force for so long... and most of the time he finished his opponents and they would be lying on the mat. his confidence was sky high when he effortlessly finished a bigger and stronger stephan bonnar. he ws cocky in that fight but still won... but you cant go on like that. he tried the same trick with with the much smarter weidman and got punished. After that his ego ws all time low and when he faced weidman the second time.... thats when i saw fear in his eyes for the first time as if he knew there's finally someone who could block his game effectively.

[@judasiscariot383]

He still has a mystique around him, even if he comes up to you smiling and gives you a hug, when you watch a highlight reel of his MMA career you still wonder about him...

[@resolving1993]

Anderson is the man

[@tiredy6]

Great video, great guy.

[@megasif]

anderson taught me today.

[@Individual_Lives_Matter]

I really like the MTC throw

[@e82sc]

just hope he remembers to use this technique on the fight! come on Anderson!!

[@nicklawrence9280]

He looks a really good teacher.

[@Xceles618]

He's the most successful MMA fighter of all time...i'd like to see him coach an ultimate fighter.

[@nolemota3907]

silva is the best no matter what

[@hackingz0ne]

Technicaly this guy is a genius. Its very impressive.

[@minasz]

Legend!

[@douglaspantoja8885]

Good Andersom silva is the best in MMA

[@edercassiovieiras]

O MESTRE NUNCA PERDE SEU PRESTIGIO,POUCOS TEM CORAGEM DE FAZER O QUE ELE FEZ NO PASSADO E HOJE,A IDADE CONTA TUDO E SUA HORA DE PARAR ESTA PRÓXIMO,MESMO ELE PERDENDO ESSAS DUAS LUTAS O QUE ELE JA FEZ PELO ESPORTE ESTA MAIS QUE CONCRETIZADO...

[@biffdanielson2820]

Undisputed GOAT

[@noodleboi5410]

I learned much from this, but my major takeaway is that "It's easy"

[@SPEC7RA]

rico verhoeven is a beast
