Former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva is known for being one of the most lethal strikers in the history of the sport.
During a sparring session, one of Silva’s sparring partners gets a little overzealous while training with one of the all-time greats.
After landing a couple of hard shots, Silva’s training partner immediately pays for his mistake.
Silva begins throwing a plethora of hard punches, elbows, kicks, and knees that teach his training partner a very valuable lesson.
It’s the striking techniques shown in the video below that show why Silva is still one of the best middleweight fighters in the world.
Silva is currently coming off a decision victory over Derek Brunson in February.
Silva is expected to fight at UFC 212 on June 3 in Brazil. He was originally scheduled to fight Kelvin Gastelum, but Gastelum was taken off the card due to testing positive for marijuana use. The UFC has yet to book a replacement to fight Silva.
