Anderson Silva Wants To Excel In Acting Like In MMA

Anderson Silva has been quietly building himself an acting career over the past few years and he expressed his desire to be good at it like how he racks up wins inside the Octagon.

"I want to do this as well as I've done in [fighting]. It's something that's always been with me," Silva said.

He further claimed that he is studying and he has a number of movies already in production in Los Angeles. The UFC champion even reiterated that acting is something he has wanted to do when he was young and he even thought he was Spider-Man.

Speaking during a recent press conference via Fox Sports, Silva revealed that he plans to excel in acting like he does in MMA. Apparently, this is a hefty goal because he is known to be the best MMA fighter of all time. In that standard, Silva will need some hardware from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences if he wants to achieve the same level of success he had in fighting according to MMA Mania.

Meanwhile, the aspiring successful actor will serve as coach on the next version of The Ultimate Fighter in Brazil. According to a report from UFC.com Brazil Web site, the long-time middleweight champion Anderson Silva will serve as coach on the fourth TUF: Brazil season, with PRIDE Grand Prix champ Maurcio "Shogun" Rua.

Silva claims that he is looking forward to the challenge of coaching and he is positive that he will be able to share real insight on what it takes to be successful in the UFC. He further claimed that he will bring everything he knows about MMA and his values to his team.

On the other hand, Shogun also looks forward to the opportunity to coach, which is a dream come true for him. He is excited to compete against a team that is coached by a legend. According to the UFC, approximately 600 bantamweight and lightweight fighters came to audition in Rio de Janeiro on October 27.
