Granted the PED scandal has tarnished Anderson Silva’s legacy but, all things considered, he’s still one of the most talented fighters to cross the threshold of the UFC’s octagon.

The former UFC middleweight champion has arguably the most entertaining highlight reel of finishes from a glittering career that once saw him record 16 consecutive victories.

And Silva (34-6) recently led a seminar in Brazil in which he demonstrated how he executed some of his most memorable stoppages.

The Spider showed students how he knocked Vitor Belfort out with a gorgeous front kick.

And recorded a famous comeback victory over Chael Sonnen with a last-gasp triangle.

He also showed how he threw his most unorthodox finishing strike, the amazing reverse elbow that knocked out Tony Fryklund.
