The Chute Boxe team was one of the most legendary fight camps in history.  Under the tutelage of the great Rudimar Fedrigo, the Muay Thai-based MMA camp produced killers like Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva, Shogun and Ninja Rua, and Vale Tudo veteran Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons. Speaking to BrasilCombat, Anderson Silva comments on his sentimental feelings for the deep bonds he formed training at Chute Boxe, once again downplays his rumored feud with Wanderlei as media myth-making, and expresses interest in training with his old friend again should the opportunity arise.

“Chute Boxe is past, like a dead love. That was a great team that formed excellent champions. I owe too much for Chute Boxe school. Regarding to Wanderlei and I train together, it may be in case of having any contact, something that get us closer. In this case, if he needs my help or the contrary, we’ll sure train together”.

 

 “We always trained together (on the Chute Boxe times), we’re friends and people (from media) created bad feelings among us. He knows I criticized him positively and regarding to him I haven’t got much to talk about. Who knows what happened knows Wanderlei is a great fighter and I love him. He is a warrior and was my instigator, a man who always had a warrior spirit, everybody came after him”.

 

That is quite a respectful comment coming from the untouchable MW champion, who many think may have grown exorbitantly overconfident as of late.  Considering Anderson's position on top of the world and Wand's struggles to remain competitive, I would love to see the two training together again, and I don't think the likes of Lyoto Machida or the Nogueira brothers would offer anything but fresh and valuable new input.
