Anderson Silva fans (and MMA fans in general) will probably want to check out this documentary. It follows Anderson Silva from the time period when everyone hated him (after his fight with Damian Maia) through his first fight with Chael Sonnen. It’s interesting seeing behind the scenes training footage, how he deals with the pressure coming at him from various sources and what his daily life is like. We tend to think of these athletes as machines but they are human beings like everyone else.
This documentary doesn’t just show the good things in Anderson’s life. It shows when his fans are upset with him. When UFC boss Dana White is angry at him and even when his own manager is frustrated with him. We follow Anderson around when he wants to skip out on autograph signings and him watching video of Chael Sonnen talking smack about him. It’s definitely worth a watch if you are interested in the behind the scenes stuff. Anderson does come across as kind of cocky and self-centered sometimes, but he also cares about his family and friends. It’s a realistic look at who he is. Nothing is sugarcoated.
