For those of us not blessed with the ability to speak Portuguese (we’re just grateful we’ve managed to attain an 8th grade level of English), we had no idea what Anderson Silva was incessantly screaming at Demian Maia Saturday night. If you were that dude who claimed to speak ‘a little Brazilian’ and offered some BS translation, well, prepare to be exposed….
Now, it doesn’t take a linguistics’ major to figure out that what Silva was yelling couldn’t have been very nice; after all, usually pleasantries aren’t accompanied by a flying knee or punch to the face. While speaking to Gracie Magazine Maia commented on Silva’s recent actions, and to no one’s surprise, the jiu-jitsu master is claiming that the champion was far from being kind.
“I just thought it was disrespectful for him to swear at me during the fight, saying things like, ‘You (explicative) momma’s boy, show me your Jiu-Jitsu.’ That type of stuff. I felt it was disrespectful and unnecessary. Aside from that, it was a normal fight,” says Demian.
Yup. You know things are about to get ugly when people start bringing your moms into it. Now Silva has maintained that heading into the fight Maia was the first to really crank up the nasty ‘now it’s personal’ talk, something Maia denies in the Gracie Mag interview. In fact, Maia is claiming that Silva “begged for his forgiveness” afterwards….crazy. Read it here.
