The Next Anderson Silva May Be Anderson Silva’s 17-Year-Old Son Kalyl

Over the past decade, there have been a few premature claims that a new Anderson Silva may have arrived in the UFC. Each time, the raw new talent would stumble and reveal themselves to be mortal. And therefore NOT the next Anderson Silva. The UFC needs a new Anderson, as our current Anderson is already 41-years-old and starting to slow down.

But perhaps there’s already another Silva preparing to step into the cage. Anderson Silva’s 17-year-old son Kalyl shares his father’s signature long limbs and his panache for flashy moves. In a recent series of videos, you can see the young Silva working the heavy bag with a lot of the Spider’s signature attacks. There’s no indication of how serious young Kalyl is about fighting, but if he’s drawn even a quarter of the natural abilities his father had in his prime, he could be a force to be reckoned with in the cage.

Even with fighting in his blood, don’t expect Kalyl to suddenly burst into the big leagues. It’s worth remembering that his father toiled for nearly a decade before finally arriving in the UFC and shocking the world with his Matrix-like moves.
