Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound fighter in the world, but not everybody knows is that the UFC middleweight champion, is, also, one of the best train partners that a fighter may have. After destroying Forrest Griffin at UFC 101, Silva went to Black House camp to help Rodrigo Minotauro’s training to fight Randy Couture, besides helping on Junior dos Santos’ preparations to face Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic.

Following Minotauro and Junior’s training on United States, TATAME.com realized something. On Rodrigo’s training, Anderson imitated Randy Couture’s moves (watch the video below), making Nogueira’s sparring session even better for the combat. Sparring with Cigano, the middleweight champion switched the base and used Cro Cop’s trade mark: the left kicks.

“Besides being a great friend a know a lot about techniques, Andersonhas a unique vision of the fight. He’s ahead of everybody in this thing”, said Dos Santos, in TATAME Magazine’s October edition. Click here to know everything that TATAME #164 brings to you.
