                    <p>Translation of an article by <a href="http://terramagazine.terra.com.br" target="_blank">terra.com.br</a> by <a href="http://mmamania.com/2009/10/17/spider-camp-anderson-silva-will-be-able-to-fight-at-ufc-108/" target="_blank">mmamania.com</a></p>

    “Anderson pulled out some pieces of bones damaged because of the use of his elbows along the years. It’s a simple procedure and he will start training in a month. The surgery took place two and a half weeks ago so he will face Vitor Belfort. Everyone wants this fight, I want this fight. I just think it would be at 88kg whereas Vitor just returned to the event. Be calm people, Spider will throw his web again.”

Anderson Silva’s coach, Josuel Distak, is confident that his star pupil will be healthy enough to throw hands with Vitor Belfort at UFC 108, which is scheduled for Jan. 2, 2010. “The Spider” underwent a minor surgical procedure to remove bone fragments that had been giving his elbow trouble after many years of fighting. Like team mate Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, the recovery time is very quick and “The Phenom” should have his chance to do what no man in the UFC has done before him: Defeat Anderson Silva.

He never seems to use elbows in actual fighting though, mostly punches knees and kicks. Ive noticed that with all ufc and muay thai fighters in general. They train them (on stationary targets) but for some reason no mt camp or gym uses them in sparring or has pads for them so no one cna apply them in real life.

The best part is how he walked away before making sure that Fryklund was out. Between that and the Forrest fight he showed how "matrixy" his skills are.
