Anderson Silva Makes Cameo in New Brasilian Nike Commercial [VIDEO]


(“Train? I didn’t have time to train with all of the commercial shoots the last six months.”)

King of all Brazilian Media Anderson Silva makes a brief appearance Nike’s new “Brasil vs. Brasil” commercial. Nike is one of the marquee companies on Silva’s bluechip sponsor roster alongside Burger King, Ford and the Corinthians soccer team.

The message of the ad, which also features members of the Brasilian national soccer team, former Brasil player Ronaldo and singer Thiaguinho, is “Triumph Over Your Shadow.” In one-minute spot, Brasil players  Neymar, Ganso, Pato, Thiago Silva, and Mascherano play against themselves in their away jerseys.

Check out the video after the jump.

Anderson Silva continues to be MMA’s busiest  one-man marketing machine.”The Spider” appears in the latest commercial by Ford Brazil (above) and he puts on a pretty entertaining performance.

In recent months, the UFC middleweight champion has signed deals with the Brazilian branches of Burger King and Nike as well as a landmark sponsorship agreement with  the Corinthians pro soccer team. He also appeared onstage with Justin Bieber at a concert last month in Brazil and performed a choreographed dance routine to one of the teen pop star’s hits on Brazilian TV.

He’s lucky the customer wasn’t Heath Herring.
