This year's ESPN/Tribeca Sports Film Festival will include the worldwide premiere of Like Water, a documentary about Anderson Silva, according to a list released Monday. The festival runs from April 20 through May 1 in New York.
Filmmakers followed Silva last year as he prepared for his Aug. 7 fight with Chael Sonnen at UFC 117. During that training, Silva injured his ribs, an incident addressed by the documentary, according to UFC President Dana White.
The Sonnen fight proved to be the most difficult bout of Silva's UFC career. The challenger controlled the action on the ground for most of five rounds before succumbing to Silva's triangle choke with less than two minutes remaining.

This is something I wanna see too. Like something that would be on cable on a hung over Sunday or something. Probably interesting, weather your a fan of the man or root against him.
Anderson Silva used twitter to invite Jon Jones to the premiere of "Like Water" a documentary about Silva at the Tribeca Film Festival next month in New York.
