WATCH: The moment that Anderson Silva found out that he had failed his PED tests

He really does sound shocked

Darragh Murphy

We’re amazed that it’s taken three months for us to see this footage.

Anderson Silva had been appearing as a coach on the fourth season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil when it emerged that he had tested positive for anabolic steroids Drostanolone and Androstane in an out-of-competition drug test on January 9 before also testing positive for Drostanolone, as well as sleeping medication Oxazepam and anti-anxiety medication Temazepam in a post-fight drug test on January 31.

The middleweight legend was promptly removed from his position on the show by the UFC and we finally get to see the moment that he heard the news.

The episode in which he is given his marching orders airs next Monday but the promotion released a trailer last night in which we see The Spider respond to the reports with a surprised “I did not take anything.”

We’ll certainly be tuning in next week.
