In an exclusive interview with Sherdog.com, the UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva discussed his upcoming fight with Forrest Griffin, mocked Vitor Belfort, and discussed a rematch between former training parter Wanderlei Silva and Belfort.
While Silva has long been thought of as one of the most humble characters in MMA, this image is slowly fading. In the Countdown to UFC 101 he called Robert Drysdale "an idiot," and here he appears to poke fun at Wanderlei Silva's quick loss to Vitor Belfort at UFC Brazil in 1998 while also clearly mocking Vitor Belfort.

![Forrest Griffin on losing to Anderson Silva and possibly fighting Jon Jones:
Forrest - "I hope I'm not fighting Jon "Bones" Jones. I might be. Fuck it; if I am, I am. I'll do it, but I'm not even training right now. That's a bad dude. That dude wil' whup my ass. Fuck it. What's the worst...I mean, it couldn't be worse than Anderson Silva. It shouldn't be worse than that, right? Every fight I go into, no matter what happens, it couldn't be worse than Anderson Silva," Griffin pointed out. "'Cos that shit was a year ago and literally every day people ask me something about that. 'What happened...What happened?' You want to know what happened? It's on page 23 [of my new book] if you need to know. Check it out."
Ellis - "He punched you in the chin."
Forrest - "Repeatedly. And I was very confused. I tried to punch him and he literally moved his head out of the way and looked at me like I was stupid for doing it. He looked at me like, 'Why would you do such a stupid thing?' He looked at me like, 'Oh, did you really think you were going to hit me? What a stupid thing to think you slow, slow white boy,' and then he punched me. I felt embarrassed for even trying to punch him. I felt like some kid trying to wrestle with his dad."](http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/139048/2_small.jpg)
