Video: Anderson Silva prepares for the rematch with Chael Sonnen
Posted on March 15, 2012, 04:13 AM by Anton GurevichThis summer, Anderson "The Spider" Silva and Chael Sonnen will go toe-to-toe for the second this, in what could be easily labeled as the biggest rematch in MMA history. Silva will look to make a statement with a convincing victory over Chael Sonnen, who won all four rounds at UFC 117, before getting submitted via a Triangle Choke three minutes into Round 5. In this video, Anderson Silva training at X-Gym, a home of some of the best Brazilian fighters.

That is not how you should be training to fight Chael Sonnen
amazing how Silva is still fighting at Middleweight
look at him the guys on the gym are all around 6 feet tall and look small compare to him
He should just move to Light Heavyweight where he belongs and lets see if hes the real deal fighter top level fighters instead of these middle level fighters , as much of a fan that i am from Chael Sonnen
I know he won't win , 1. because he has the worst submission defense ever 2. his Striking is rudimentary 3.Silva already knows what to expect from Chael 4. Sonnen look horrible vs Bisping and if that Sonnen shows up to Brazil it won't last more than 2 rounds
He already beat Belfort who is the only Top level fighter at 185
so if you want a Real Legacy and not a overhype one fight worthy fights!!
The last 3 guys Silva fought, Belfort, Okami, and Sonnen, were all just as big if not bigger than him. Sonnen and Belfort are former LHWs.
Stop with this crap about LHW. It's not like he's missing weight. 185 is his weight class.
It is one of many ways that Anderson is pretending he is not practicing on stuffing doubles. Meanwhile he is back home training his wrestling defense like crazy. He is trying to lull Chael into a false sense that Chael will have an easy time with takedowns.
Don't be fooled Chael. Train hard. Train hard.
@ BruceLee: Well said. The champ has never lost in the UFC, so who are we to tell him how to train for a certain individual.
If Chael wins it may be because he changed his workout routine to Rocky's Eye of the Tiger. If Anderson wins it's going to be because Segal gave him the signal from the stands to do the special move. That's what it boils down to now. Let's hope Segal is present and his timing is still perfect.
Not the best training video, especially since he's training the other fighters and not himself.
I love when people watch this kind of videos and think they know all about his training. Like "wow he's gonna be in trouble against Chael, look at his traning... I'm taking Chael by tko in round 2"
Let me have a laugh real quick, i'll be right back.
Take your time, you won't be missed.
@Fluidity:
Mr Roid had his best shot at winning , yet he still failed. I laughed so hard at his "fans" that I almost choked lol I'm with you 110%
take that banana out of your mouth then....
Read again, i am actually making fun of the Sonnen fans. I'm picking Anderson by whatever he wants.
You're so against Sonnen that you are accidentally going after Silva fans by misreading comments.
even if Sonnen loses but kicks Andersons ass for 4 1/2 rounds will be worth it.....
It's a long way to the fight so I wouldn't read too much into this video. It looks more like something to promote the image of Silva "the sensei".
Also, there's probably an element of disinformation. I doubt there will be any actual video released of Silva is actually training for Chael.
King of fighting
Anderson should be practicing flat off his back, the place where he will be spending most of his time during the rematch with Sonnen.
you got that right.....
Whatever.........
Anderson is the first one to talk crap and criticize Chael about getting serious and no talking anymore but train...
Anderson is full of crap....I would have never agreed to make this video of him horse playing ...... it doesnt matter how much he trains against takedowns...You cant train for something new and be profiient at it in 6month.....
I love how some of you seem to think that videos like this represent the totality of a fighters training camp.
I would love to train with The Champ... As for crazy Sonnen. He shouldn't take this fight in Brazil... He won't come out alive... It will be Bad for MMA... Yet when this fight does happen... Anderson will beat Sonnen again... Chael can't even beat Maia.... Yes Maia... BJJ > Chael Sonnen.
I think for a lot of Americans this whole Chael/Anderson has a lot of racial subtext, whether liberal or right wing douchebage. The fact is that Silva is simply the best and would beat anybody, (green, purple, blue or white) on most days even at heavy, lets face it. Chael had his chance against a injured (ribs) silva and still got caught. If you see some of the doc "like water" there is a part where Anderson promises Big Nog that he will defeat chael via submission, unbelievable! he predicted the win and the technique, and yes this was filmed before the fight.
Silva via humiliating backpedaling jab knockout. 2nd round
Chael was the one who cracked his ribs. The Silva spin machine tried to say it happened before the fight to use it as an excuse for getting dominated for 4 rounds.
Silva is going to be a beast with 6 months of sprawl training!!!
I personally think this is some awesome footage of the king messing around in the gym with the guys who look up to him. Probably a great time for the guys he showing the unothodox moves. It's like chatting with friends after a workout session. I think Anton mislabeled this video in the title. Now all you guys are mad about his training. Cmonnnn guys-Would a football team televise thier practices before the superbowl for the world to see........Gotta love the gulibility of LKickers.
