The pound-for-pound (Burger) king?
UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, on the heels of his upcoming UFC 134 fight against Yushin Okami on Aug. 27 in Rio de Janiero, has signed a deal with Burger King to represent the fast food chain in Brazil.
That's according to Esporte.uol, who notes the contract runs until the end of 2011 and the campaign featuring "The Spider" will begin next month.
Here's what a rep from Burger King had to say about signing one of the best fighters in MMA history:
"Anderson has a great identity with the brand, is an idol of many audiences, especially young people, our main customers. We believe he has much to contribute to make the new campaign more fun and impactful."
Silva went on to say he is "very happy to be a part of the campaign" and is sure it will be a success. How many Maniacs are eagerly awaiting the first commercial to drop?

He threw BIg Macs to the ground!!!!!!!!
I’ve never considered myself as a legend – just a simple man with heart.
he's gonna eat a mc donald 'cause burger king won't pay him nothing
and he won’t be getting on top of his wife ’cause that shit might crush her and that definitely is a mood killer
fedor > gsp > a. silva
it's much more impressive to control a guy like fitch for 5 rounds than it is to beat leites in any fashion. The quality of opposition tells a story as well.
the best thing i've heard all day
good job my friend
Tito Ortiz will be back when PRIDE dies... NEVER

Anyone who represents any of these junk food companies is a mug. Nevermind a champion

this is actually very unexpected.
anderson always supported mcdonalds and has a lot of love for them, since that was the only place he could get a job in brazil. he has also states he always eats 2 big macs in his hotel for lunch before fights/after weigh ins. very surprised he would rep the competition.

In fact that was the job he had taken up when he was disillusioned with his MMA career and contemplating retirement after he was locked out of PRIDE.
Sometimes, these things happen in MMA

it was a joke.
i was claiming to be the guy in the “King” costume, rubbing oil on the pretty lady’s back. and now i am explaining the entirety of the joke to you.
i apologize for assuming all readers would be able to understand something as complex as my attempt at humor

Right, I understood that you were claiming to be the guy in the King custom(hahahah, you are so funny, great joke!!!!)
But why would you have earned $1000 for such?

So when you look at that above image, the first thing you think of is "nice, someone just won a grand"H
HUH????
Seriously, wtf?
Was there like some kind of contest or something to dress as the king? (Sorry for not being a fast food knowledgebase of current events expert like you guys.)
And if so, how can finding/buying a king costume be so easy that its literally the easiest thing you’ve ever done?
Or is there some kind of law where you are from that states you earn $1000 for molesting a woman. Wisconsin = one weird fucking state…. Is the joke that there are no beaches in Wisconsin???

you need to stick to light beer for a couple days and let the fog that is your mind clear somewhat.
AK just threw a number out there as is if he was a paid actor in the commercial.

Ha! Wacky kids.
Best part about this is how far vm took the whole “I don’t get how it’s a joke” thing. And people really think he’s that daft.
