I really like Silva, until I saw him against Weidman in the first fight.

Excerpted - video at link.

Very graphic, like Joe Theismann’s leg break.

Dangit, where’s the edit button. I really “liked” Silva. I can’t relate though - it must be impossibly hard to be humble and gracious consistently for years when you’re the best in the world.

Always thought Silva was a arrogant piece of crap. Happy to see him end his career like this. Scumbag.

I guess they don’t make legs like they used to.

I wonder if anything Silva took after his first defeat affects bone density.

I guess that’s why Weidman was working on blocking leg kicks.

That`s his style.
He`s fought that style in every one of his fights. Hands down to block take downs, quick head movement to avoid punches, quick counter punches, leans against cage to prop himself up against takedown attempts

Age caught him, not Weidman. He`s 38. No matter how hard you train you lose a step in quickness and reaction time.

Weidman will never be a Silva.

That said, did anyone see the cat fight ? Ufft~ Looked a step above two drunk girls outside a bar going at it.
