ANDERSON SILVA'S FITNESS COACH ISSUES UPDATE ON MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP’S PHYSICAL CONDITION
Last weekend, several X-Gym fighters were running in the sands of Barra da Tijuca beach, including UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Silva, who has returned to training after dealing with lingering injuries, was photographed by a paparazzo, revealing that the middleweight champion was sporting a larger midsection than is typical for the pound-for-pound king. In an interview with Sherdog.com, Silva’s fitness coach, Rogério Camões, made a point of clarification regarding the fighter’s physique and conditioning:
"It's a training that we do once a week, outside the gym. It is for resistance,” Camões said. “The training was not specific to Anderson, because he is not yet in full physical form. He's coming back now; we're still [within] the activation period. We will only enter the specific period when [it is] eight weeks [out from his fight]. He is doing the training without the commitment to be at the peak of his physical form.”
Although “The Spider” has already begun to prepare for his long-anticipated rematch with Chael Sonnen at UFC 147 on June 23, the bout still sits outside of the aforementioned eight-week time frame. As such, Camões says that there is no rush for “The Spider” to get into top shape just yet.
"If Anderson was in top form [10 weeks before] the fight, something would be wrong,” said Camões. “He comes from a rest period; he was coming from injury. He is returning to training, and I guarantee that he'll be in full shape for this fight and flying as usual.”

 Not really.
Hes looking old though. Man, it seems like just yesterday he was that young vibrant lunatic, smashing Leben up. It was 6 fooking years ago. Between then and now, he has entertained us far more then any other fighter.
I'm going to be very sad when this adventure is over. 
War Mr Anderson.

Considering how much he's ran from Sonnen he should be in great shape.

I'm real excited for this fight...I wish Chael didn't take TRT...I really like him... He's got a great personality. I got the rare chance to meet him in person 6 months ago here in Arizona, and he is a cool cat...
With that said...Anderson Silva is the Greatest fighter of all time along with GSP...So it's gonna be a fun one...

I will miss him when he retires. I just wish we could see him fight more often before he does step aside. He has the sharpest technique of anyone i've seen in the octagon.

Anderson is the king. Will go down as the goat after he wins his next few fights and retires.

Honestly I think lots of fighters have entertained us far more than Anderson, he gave us some fantastic knock outs but I struggle to think of any fights except the Sonnen fight are not what I would consider to be great fights. CroCop/Mir had a great finish but it doesn;'t change the fact it was a horrible fight. Maia/Silva was atrocious, Leites/Silva was horrible an fights like Forrest and Irvin were great finishes but not great fights. Entertainment value give me Frankie Edgar or Urijah Faber any day.
