I wasn't going to flaunt that shit. My actual plan was to sit at home, drink some wine, and play some video games online. But I decided to first check twitter to see if anything special was happening.
Blah, blah, wait a minute....Anderson Silva is trending? Really? Worldwide?
Anderson Silva is the best fighter in the world. He's the modern day Bruce Lee. He's the fighter my girlfriend, who doesn't give three shits about fighting, would watch every night live if that were an option. He's the real, no BS, Tiger Woods with no limits, that American media has managed to miss. So I innocently tweet:
Anderson Silva is trending. No idea why. Every tweet is in Portuguese.
The fact that I had to tweet that is fucking appalling. MMA is typically covered in every facet, all the time. I have every base covered. This is a person that should be constantly covered. This is MMA's Michael Jordan. And this blog post will be the first English mention of the real reason Anderson Silva trended tonight. He was on a Brazilian variety show.
As god fucking intended! Anderson Silva is the best fighter on this earth today. This is not a debate. There is no man, woman, or alien that would defeat him in a mixed martial arts arena. And I learned an hour ago that his home nation of Brazil had no idea who he was until tonight.
Is that not ludicrous? Apparently, Anderson Silva was not a star in Brazil until he defeated his nation's legend, Vitor Belfort, in the octagon. Vitor Belfort is apparently a great reality TV star in Brazil. When I was sent this synopsis, I laughed, before I realized it was potentially true. Anderson Silva is as obscured in his home country as he is in the USA.
Two conclusions can come from this. 1. MMA media just got outreported by a tired, drunken fan. 2. Anderson Silva needs a new manager.
I will learn Portuguese.
