Video: Anderson Silva unleashes fury on pad holder with brutal Muay Thai kicks

At age 40, former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is taking mixed martial arts (MMA) training as serious as ever, judging by the above video (via BJPenn.com), which shows "The Spider" wrecking pads with his patented Muay Thai kicks.

Silva is six weeks out from a long-awaited clash with perennial contender Michael Bisping atop a Fight Pass-exclusive UFC Fight Night 83 card in London, England on Feb. 27, 2016. It will mark his 19th foray into the Octagon and the first time he's competed since testing positive for steroids and anti-anxiety medication, following his UFC 183 main event opposite Nick Diaz.
