Anderson Silva, considered by many to be the best mixed martial artist ever, says that punching isn’t everything.
After two years of trash talk by his opponent, Chael Sonnen, Silva defeated Sonnen at UFC #117 in 2010. It wasn’t an easy fight for Silva. It was said that he had previously fractured his ribs during training.
In the end, Silva defeated Sonnen, and then again in UFC 148 in 2012.
Martial arts can teach us many things about life.
After his fight in 2010 with Sonnen, Silva had this to say:
No one will hit you harder than life itself.
It doesn’t matter how hard you hit back.
It’s about how much you can take.. and keep fighting.
How much you can suffer and keeping moving forward.
That’s how you win.
–Anderson Silva
