Anderson Silva's striking is already great. He's not necessarily going to Roach to improve that, but rather to take a shot at his boxing dream. And if he is going to Roach to improve his boxing for mma, then I agree that he in entirely capable of deciding for himself what to integrate and what to discard.

I also think we'll see more fighters moving to the GSP training model: spending time improving their skills in different martial arts consecutively (or on a cycle), and then training them concurrently in anticipation of a specific opponent ~12 weeks out from the fight.
