Lyoto Machida got a few tips from Anderson Silva ahead of Derek Brunson fight

Anderson Silva scored a close decision victory over Derek Brunson in February, and gave his friend Lyoto Machida a few tips before their UFC Sao Paulo main event.

“The Dragon” will take on Brunson in a five-round bout in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Oct. 28, and he recently met with his longtime friend “The Spider” and discussed strategies for UFC Fight Night 119.

“I talked to Anderson last week,” Machida told MMA Fighting. “He obviously said a few little things, he said ‘Lyoto, do this and do that,’ showed some paths to go, but I won’t talk too much about it (laughs).
