Anderson reveals rib injury in the fight against Weidman - "I was 85%"

[ShreddinMMA]

Huh.

There's always something.

 

[Sopapo]

Ive heard this before....

 

[MikoSkyns]

Well his showboating was 100% that night.
It's not like there was a five round war and Silva was worn out after the third found.
He was KTFO for showboating.
This takes nothing away from Weidman as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Brandon Wilson]

Every time Anderson loses, he's injured. That's just a fact of life.

Huh? When did he lose, except the Weidman fight, in the last almost 9 years? You're a fucking clown.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

sure silva has learned a lot form fight one

 

[The Real Pedro]

No one fights at 100%. What percent was Chris Weidman after a year long layoff?

I respect Brazilian fighters inside the Octagon, but outside, they make way too many excuses for losing.

 

[Jesse James]

wtf no, don't do this anderson. Just come back and dominate in the rematch, why make excuses.

Exactly.....why do fighters do this....it lowers they're credibility, & makes them sound like whiners.....you lose, you lose - no excuses....He could have put the fight off for a few months to recover if need be....but don't accept the fight when you are injured & than use the excuse if you lose....really lowers your character rating...& fans lose respect for a whining, excuse maker...

HAh

You guys are a disgrace

 

[keese]

Fighters these days are like DBZ characters with their percentages.

Serious Anderson has over 9000 ways to win this fight.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Well Anderson didnt use it as an excuse. He admitted to getting destroyed by Weidman for months now.

So if people are twisting this article around to make it look like Anderson is making excuses then that is just untrue.

 

[One Inch Punch]

Serious Anderson has over 9000 ways to win this fight.

But how did he get so powerful?

 

[hto63]

I think before the fights on ppvs, when they show the graphic that has height, weight age reach etc, they should add an extra one at the bottom of the list that says %

lmfao

 

[lockon]

injury didnt have anything to do with him clowning then getting hit. AS should focus on his next fight

 

[mxkey]

His chin was 85%

Should've kept his hands about 85% higher

A bomb, unveiled Wednesday, may change plans Dana White for the next editions of the UFC. According to information given by the Sports Interactive internal sources clinic where he was examined, in Rio de Janeiro, Anderson Silva had a broken rib. Still do not know the extent of the problem, but it could put at risk the Spider at UFC 162, which would face Chris Weidman.

Anderson would have done x-ray examinations in clinical CDPI, which has branches in the neighborhoods of Barra da Tijuca and Leblon. The test results have not been disclosed, but according to clinic staff, was accused fracture.

Of course this will go ignored.

 

[rac2]

clearly trolling jones... you guys just take it too serious.

 

[mmaelitefan000]

so that explains it. i knew it all along that spider wasn't a %100

 

[Doodles]

Anderson, I love you, but ... Just stop. Your trolling is out of control.

Why is it when Silva says something that doesn't sit well with his fans it's always "trolling"?

 

[D3thr0n3d K1ng]

All fighters should just say they were only a certain percentage after every lost.

 

[Redhawks100]

Why is it when Silva says something that doesn't sit well with his fans it's always "trolling"?

Why must you incessantly bitch and whine about Silva?
