LAS VEGAS – What a difference a day makes.
As UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva hit
pads and grappled in front of fans and media at Thursday’s open workout
session at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, there was nary a
trace of the scowl that adorned his face at Wednesday’s pre-UFC 126
press conference.
And why should it be any different? As Silva told gathered reporters,
despite the intense staredown that wrapped up Wednesday’s proceedings,
there’s nothing personal at stake when he meets Vitor Belfort on Saturday night.
