Anderson Silva shows off goofy side (VIDEO)

If Anderson Silva is your favorite fighter, chances are it's not just because he can front kick people into oblivion or pull last-minute triangle armbars out of thin air. He also has a goofy side to him fans can relate to. The top fighter in the world puts that goofiness on full display in the blooper reel from his series of Budweiser ads that will be aired in Brazil.

Did you know that Silva can dance? Perhaps he needs to be the next fighter on "Dancing with the Stars."

?Shogun? Rua would rather lose his job than fight phenom Glover Teixeira

Glover Teixeira has a well-earned reputation of an extremely dangerous fighter. He hasn't lost since 2005, and 11 of his 19 wins come by knockout. The reputation is so well-known that former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua told UFC president Dana White he'd rather lose his job than fight Teixeira.

After Thiago Silva scrapped his fight with Rua because of an injury, the UFC needed a new opponent for Shogun.

"He said that he'd actually rather be cut than have to fight him," White said during a UFC on FX 3 post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani. "Dude, nobody wants to fight this guy. We're trying to match the guy up with somebody, but he didn't mind fighting Brandon Vera, so he's fighting Brandon Vera. I don't want to sound like I'm disrespecting Shogun, because I'm not. I'm just telling the truth. It's verbatim what his people said when we talked to them. You know me. I tell it like it is. If you don't want that out in public, then don't say it to me on the phone, because I'm going to say what was said. Shogun's a warrior. The guy's fought everybody from PRIDE to the UFC. His last fight with Dan Henderson was awesome. It is what it is."

Now, Rua will fight Vera, whose last win was over Eliot Marshall. Before that, Vera loss a bout to Silva which was later turned into a no-contest because of a positive drug test for Silva. The Rua-Verabout will main event the UFC's next show on Fox.

Teixeira made his UFC debut at UFC 146 with an overpowering submission of Kyle Kingsbury. Who do you want to see him fight next? Speak your mind in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

With Vladimir Putin watching, Fedor Emelianenko knocks out Pedro Rizzo

MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko notched another win in St. Petersburg, Russia, knocking out former UFC heavyweight contender Pedro Rizzo in the first round. With Russian president Vladimir Putin looking on, Emelianenko leveled Rizzo with a right hand then followed him to the ground to stop the fight.

Emelianenko now has three wins in a row after losing to Fabricio Werdum, Antonio Silva and Dan Henderson in Strikeforce. Before that, he was an unstoppable force, racking up 31 wins, one loss and one no contest.

Before this bout, Emelianenko told Russian television this fight would be his last, but he did not talk about retirement in his post-bout interview. It remains to be seen if "The Last Emperor" is truly done with MMA.

Anderson Silva is the greatest commercial actor of our time

It's possible UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is the greatest mixed martial artist in the sport's brief history. With a record of 31-4, a 15-fight win streak, wins at middleweight and light heavyweight and eight fight night bonuses, it's easy to make that case.

But what he might excel at even more is making commercials. Seriously, watch the above for a razor and tell me you don't want to buy it. His ads for Burger King and Budweiser were instant classics.

The man has some range. Whether you need a kick to the face or a reliable pitchman, Silva's your guy.

Alistair Overeem: ?I?m all natural?

UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem really wants the world to believe he is a clean fighter, even though he is currently suspended for having elevated testosterone levels before his planned fight with UFC champ Junior dos Santos.

Earlier this week, Overeem tweeted he will be back in December, but UFC executive Lorenzo Fertitta said not so fast. Overeem responded by tweeting about a drug test.

"I'm doing a drug test today to build confidence with the Nevada state athletic commission and because I respect and appreciate the UFC," Overeem wrote. "And to let junior know I am a clean fighter, I'm all natural Junior.. and I am coming for you."

Well, that's a nice gesture, Alistair, but guess what? You're supposed to be clean. You don't get any medals for testing clean on random date of your choosing. This is the equivalent of teenager cleaning the house after being grounded. Though the parents may be pleased to come home to a sparkling house, they're not going to forget about the raging party that happened there days before.

The NAC isn't going to forget about his suspension, and the UFC isn't going to forget how he derailed the main event of one of their biggest cards in 2012.
