Bigfoot Silva has a medical condition. He has a tumor on his pituitary gland. The mass effect of such a tumor is known to give tunnel vision, since it lies directly above the optic chiasm, where it can constrict the nerve fibers that provide sight to the right and left fields of vision, sparing the central field of vision.
He has the biggest head on the planet, so I am always amazed at how often he is knocked out. Then again, it is said that after one knockout, the threshold for being knocked out again is lower. It would not be unthinkable for him to get medically cleared despite some medical issues. After all, there is money involved in his fights, and it is his only source of revenue.
Does he get knocked out because he does not see looping shots in his periphery? Does he have tunnel vision?
