The champion of UFC on the average weight Anderson Silva (33-4) in anticipation of a July duel (9-0) shared opinion on future opponent with Chris Uaydman.
"I respect Chris Uaydman, and I am not going to underestimate him. He won some good fights and quite not bad proved in them. It is 10 years younger, is very hardy and not bad fights. I am adjusted seriously on this fight.
Its age won't play a big role in this duel, I always trained with guys is much more younger than me. I train with the world champion in ju-jitsu to whom twenty years hardly knocked. In my camp there are very young and strong guys so the age difference has no value.
With talent you won't argue, and each person in something is talented. But I am engaged in single combats since I was eight years old, and the new generation has to see not only what I achieved, but also with what I began.
I devoted the life to it not at teenage age and not when to me was executed twenty, and much earlier. I fight already very much, long ago, and it already became something natural to me, I feel comfortably in fight. It - in what I was engaged always.
Fight is a fight, and my experience will be on my party. I am engaged in it since eight years, and I think that it will play a big role when we will appear in a cage", - Silva told.
