AS Not training Franklin for Wandy? lol

I train uner Brazilian and I love BJJ but I can't stand a vast majority of Brazilian competitors.

I hate to generalize but the ones I've met are dirty fighters and sore losers.

I wonder why Rich would say he was going to work with AS when AS claims to not know about it.

Do you want for me to ask him

here is his response to anderson training franklin




“It’s smart, because Silva has a lot of techniques,” he told MMAWeekly.com on Monday. “It’s possible for him to train with who he wants. For me, it doesn’t matter, because I’m going to beat him. It’s possible he could train with Mike Tyson – I’m going to beat him.

“It’s a professional time for MMA, and everybody needs to go to the best place for having the best options. Maybe Anderson is a good option for him, because Anderson beat him two times.”

Silva prides himself on an open door policy at his gym and says Franklin is still welcome.

“My gym’s professional,” he continued. “The guys don’t need to use my flag to train here. It’s possible a guy comes, trains, and uses his flag. It’s a professional gym – it’s open for all.”

Of bigger concern are fighters who aren’t serious about their training.

“I just don’t want the bad guys, the guys in bad condition,” he said. “Outside here I don’t like the guys drinking, going to the nightclub, the guys smoking. No. These guys I don’t want. But the professional guys, in good condition, in good fighters – no problem.”

Silva says he’s still building a fight team for his gym, and it’s a work in progress. In the mean time, he’s preparing for Franklin, and unconcerned whether Anderson will pass on any secrets.

“He explained he wanted to come train here after the fight, no problem,” said Silva. “He’s a gentleman, I talked with him a lot of times. I’m so happy to fight with him, because he likes to fight, (he’s) not afraid. Because if you fight with one guy who’s afraid of you, it’s hard because there’s no action."

Semi true.
All stereotypes/generalizations come from some sort of truth.

that is an unfair and stereotyping comment. care to share the names of these brazilian fighters that we might know that we can prove are dirty as you claim they are? maybe from your limited experience training under brazilian in your BJJ gym, they happen to be dirty in your opinion. but if you trained any other martial art with any other majority race i guarantee you would eventually see the same dirty fighters anywhere you go, no matter what country they are from.

from my experience i have met more dirty/sore losers that happen to be white/black/asian than brazilians, in fact. not all brazilians are sore losers just because you happen to train with sore losers at your BJJ gym. maybe your gym is just full of sore losers. that sucks.
