    Well he has been living in the states a few years now so I am sure his English is a lot better than it was previously.

    There is a big difference between being able to speak a second language and being comfortable with it in a business or professional/formal setting, the often tonation, expressions and vocabulary used would be very different from having a casual chat. With international media coverage you are also exposed to a host of different accents in your second language. I am sure he uses a translator to ensure he is missing as little as possible.

    What I find annoying is people who cannot speak any other languages criticising methods of understanding for those who do.

    He's been living in America alot longer than the majority of brazillians in mma, alot whom don't use a translator, look at RDA for example. Silva can speak pretty good English, He chooses to do it to be awkward, well he did v chael anyway. Your above bonded point is ridiculous considering you don't know what other languages people may or may not speak.

    Yes I speak three in total including English, one I learned due to the need for it in work. Still for the life of me can't speak Irish though.

    Ive always liked Bisping, I know many haven't but this video is so cringeworthy. I loved Silva before he got caught juicing and I do want Bisping to win because of that.


    Bisping had some clever lines rehearsed but Silva had far better comebacks right off the cuff.

    Gonna be a cracking fight

    Wtf is that outfit Silva is wearing in the gym? Also it looks like his son is his main training partner. Do any serious fighters train his gym?

    Had to come in here to talk about something other than McGregor. What are people's thoughts on the main event here. Be interesting to see which Silva shows up. He was a bit gun shy against Diaz. Disappointed to be missing this. Will be in the 3 arena watching the Bamma main event at the same time.

    Silva KO Round 1

    Bisping will crumble after the first good shot I think.

    Bisping bragging about being undefeated in the UK is hilarious.

    He's a gas man. That's nothing really to boast about. I reckon silva too. Hopefully something highlight reel.

    Getting tickets outside the 02 should be no issue from previous experience seeing the amount of touts.

    Watching the fighter media interviews and as Ariel is talking to Wilkinson when Makwan shouts over 'you're scared' and Mike retorts with 'I'm just on the phone with your missus' :pac:

    Wilkinson hinting that SBG guys telling him about Makwan and how he hasn't even sparred with Conor.

    Makwan says JK is like a 2nd father. Sounds like he got rightly done over in his last gym, hopefully it's smooth sailing at SBG.

    Also, Norman saying him and Khabilov got into a heated situation in the hotel and had to be seperated. Might make for some heated fights.

    I never thought I'd be rooting for Bisping over Silva but I hope the Brit smashes the Brazilian. Would make up for all the times Mike lost to a juiced opponent.

    Don't think so man.Think its just for their new online BBC3 channel which can't be viewed here as they recently shut down the cable channel of BBC3.

    Also i am not positive but i think its just pre fight and post fight coverage they bought,not actual fight coverage.
