Anderson Silva: UFC Star Police Officer Training

Former champion and record holder for UFC title defenses, Anderson Silva has embarked on another profession. The Brazilian fighter trains to become a police officer in the United States, and shared the behind-the-scenes of the challenge this Tuesday (6), on social media.

In the video, the legendary Brazilian athlete appears training with firearms, and other moments of preparation.

Spider shared a text alongside the preparation video, talking about his faith.

“There will be days when tiredness, pain, uncertainty, my imperfections, fear will knock on the door to want to enter, but I will not allow it, even when it seems like there is no way out, when everything is hazy, everything seems to be lost”, said the Brazilian’s post on Instagram.

“I will not go back, because my faith is in GOD and my fight to continue seeking to be better than yesterday is eternal. As long as I have the strength to stand up and fight, I will fight the good fight with faith, strength and honor until after the end, be it anywhere, rain or shine. Even if the weather is bad all the time, I will be there without excuse”, concluded Anderson Silva.
