Tribute shirt: Anderson 'Spider' SilvaMMA fighterThis shirt is, just like the label says, a tribute to Anderson Silva, 'the Spider', champion MMA fighter. He's a Brazilian so we've got a tip of the hat to that in the design with the use of the Brazilian flag on the belly of the spider, whilst the rest of this MMA fighter tribute shirt features the more regular stuff for MMA shirts; a skull and a blood splatter. But, overall, we're kinda pleased with how it turned out, and we didn't overdo the design stuff in the process. Why a tribute shirt for Anderson Silva? Hell, to answer that, just take a look at this YouTube highlight; you'll pretty quickly see why he's a champion. And there are loads of interesting observations we could make based on just that one highlight reel as well: noticed the absence of excess musculature? We'd say that's likely because he doesn't bother with lifting weights in any way, shape or form. Reckon what we're seeing is someone who trains and trains and trains in only the stuff that's part of the ring. Ain't no muscles on yer chin, as we've said on other shirts. Beyond that? He doesn't stick with any kind of standard posture or stance, and he flows from upper to lower body and back like he's going from one hand to the other. And we could go on....
What is MMA anyway?Not too sure how you ended up here if you don't already know what Mixed Martial Arts are, but you can get an introduction on our What Is MMA page. And while you're there, given that some sort of ground game is an essential part of the MMA experience, read our intro, What Is BJJ, to get an idea of what Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is all about, and why it's so important.
