For one night, Anderson Silva broke out some of his prime antics in an entertaining scrap with rising star Israel Adesanya.
And it wasn’t just fans who were entertained. Check out what some of the other fighters had to say about the entertaining 185-pound bout.
Anderson is one crafty, crafty Martial Artist.
You only develop these methods through years of hard fought experience.
Phenomenal performance.
The crafty veteran. Big respect always.

I’m not saying he’s gonna win, but I would LOVE if Anderson Silva came out and did some vintage “Spider” matrix shit!#UFC234
