“I trained together with Jacare for a long time.” — Anderson Silva Quote

I trained together with Jacare for a long time.

I'm not scared of Jon Jones or Chris Weidman or whoever. I'm here to fight. That's it. It's simple.

I don't think there is rivalry between the teams in Brazil. We each do our jobs, and we each have our part in MMA.

Past waters don't move anything. They only create mosquitoes.

There's no such thing as holding back. I want to finish as soon as possible. The only time I did it was because he was a friend of mine. It was against Thales Leites. We went until the last round because he's a friend of mine, and I respect him.

I trained in the theatre.

People consider me a striker, but I have trained jiu-jitsu for 10 years.

I trained in Hindustani, and then I went to music school.

I'm not a trained actor. I'm someone who is autodidactic and learned on my own.

I realized I was trained my whole life to be an accommodating person, to make sure that everybody is comfortable before I'm comfortable. After giving so much of myself to strangers, I learned to care for myself a little more, especially on tour.
