Posted by J. Yayo Hernandez on Oct 14, 2012 in MMA, UFC

Anderson Silva put on yet another dazzling performance at 205lbs at UFC 153. After defeating Stephan Bonnar in vicious fashion, ‘The Spider’ smells a potential super-fight with Georges St-Pierre.

Anderson Silva on why he was leaning against the fence in the fight:

“I trained hard for this. I trained for my team, who helped me for the take down. I trained for the fans, with my jiu jitsu, I trained boxing. This is the win for my team.”

Silva on if any of Bonnar’s punches hurt:

“Yeah. Yeah, but I have fast reflexes. I’m the Spiderman.”

Silva on what people in his corner were saying to him during the fight:

“Yeah because my coach is sometimes my coach, my dad, my mom. I train hard. I train for the fans. I train for the take down. He talked to me and told me to change positions. I didn’t change positions because I was relaxed. I told my coach to relax, take it easy and trust me.”

Silva on if he wants to fight Jon Jones:

“No, this is not my goal. My goal is to stay in my class – 185. This is not my goal.”

Silva on if he’ll fight GSP:

“GSP, maybe. I don’t know. Good question.”
