Anderson Silva Like Water [HD]

Anderson Silva is the best in the world.
An inside look at the story behind the fighter, the man behind the belt. Anderson Silva is the greatest mixed martial artist in the world. Overall a great documentary leading up to the fight that had Silva fans on the edge of their seats. I watched this fight live, and truly thought Silva was about to lose the belt, then the triangle, and tapout from chael. Overcoming adversity is what TRULY makes a champion, and if you have seen the Silva vs Sonnen fight, you know, like it or not, Anderson Silva is a true champion. This documentary shows the story behind THAT story in a gripping and honest way. For Anderson Silva fans, M.M.A fans, fight fans of all types, LIKE WATER will NOT disappoint!

Not revealing
I was expecting an in depth look at Silva. You get to see some of his values and his family, but not much by way of words from him, most importantly you hear nothing of his martial arts philosophy, only some excerpts of him training. I was dissapointed because I expected to see more philosophy, not just training footage. I really learned nothing new about silva except that he seems to be kind of a jokester with his friends, that's about it.

This Could Have Been So Much More
Anderson Silva is MMA's greatest champion. His fighting ability in a variety of disciplines is astounding, which accounts for his long reign as middleweight champion. This video purports to give us the inside information on this great champion, but sadly, very little is revealed about him. We know from the video that he has a wife and two children; he appears to be a loving father and husband, but we do not get any insights from his wife or children, nor do we get any insights from people from his hometown. We actually learn very little about Anderson Silva. He speaks Portuguese, and is a man of few words. He speaks nothing of himself in this video. We see him training for his big fight against Chael Sonnen in August, 2010, but we are not told that Silva had a cracked rib when he went into that fight. The video implies an injury, but it is not stated as such. We perhaps learn more about Silva from his opponent, Sonnen, who suggests that Silva is a "gang-banger", certainly not...
