Did Anderson Silva train before his DC fight?

[Lawblaw]

Obviously he didn't have a training camp but if I remember correctly he just had a surgery and wasn't even training for months

 

[MMAViewer]

Yup, with the master!

 

[BobbyD963]

Two day notice bro, and he did better then most LHW that fought D.C. that's why Anderson Silva is the man.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

2 day notice, coming off gall bladder surgery. I can say firsthand that I would not want to be fighting less than two months after that surgery.

"Silva (33-7, 1 NC), though, will save the day. It's an odd matchup, considering the Brazilian superstar is coming off surgery to remove his gall bladder just seven weeks ago. Silva, 41, is also coming off a unanimous decision loss to Michael Bisping in February. "The Spider" has not registered an official victory since 2012."

He honestly didn't look bad. Looked good on the feet and all dc could do is lay n prey basically, also looked gassed.

 

[Dream20]

He hasn't trained for his last 5 fights and hasn't won any of them.

 

[ROBOCOP]

im sure he was doing light sparring. Nothing that would have prepared himself for someone like DC on that kind of notice. None the less, he stepped in like a fucking boss. because hes the man!!!

That look on DC's face. It's crazy considering he had stood with many great strikers before and haven't gotten hurt to this degree. His expression speaks for itself.

 

[Aliens]

I love when AS fights, because I like it when he loses, he has been very dependable in that respect.

 

[Goatenstein]

Steroid cheat Silva last defeated steroid cheat Bonnar and steroid cheat Sonnen.

 

[Idonotbelieveit]

In shape enough to fight obviously

Not enough like standard camp

Andy loses to dc at any point I think style match up

In 2008 Anderson had worse tdd and would get mauled worse imo

Standing has a chance hurt dc but it's a wild card that he wins

Lol

Pretty crazy

It's a shame Andy got busted in good testing like usada imagine 7 years ago has been cheating all the time most probably my thought

Unfortunately, that was pretty much his only significant strike of the fight.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

For a day?

Did he train for a day?

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Unfortunately, that was pretty much THE only significant strike of the fight.

Fixed

He got layed on. It was sad, and cowardly IMO.

i agree 100%. DC was a guy some were saying would beat Jones and Anderson absent any training let alone a camp for a specific opponent took very little damage and at the end of the fight had DC a little shaky,

Same thing happened when he fought Forrest.

Went up 20lbs and beat the recent LHW champion better than any of Forrest's LHW opponents had been able to.

 

[mjfan23]

DC carried him. He didn't go for the finish on the mat that's why other fighters called him BS afterwards

 

[Z28MARO]

Whenever I want to hate on Andy or talk bad about him this moment completely changes my mind. He stepped up and saved the card with zero hesitation. He gained a ton of respect for that on top of what he's already achieved on paper. I personally think DC held back a little bit out of respect. I also think anderson beat bisping. If he gets passed brunson he's not too far away from a shot.

when you consider DC ragdolled Henderson, Rumble and Josh Barnett, A. Silva neutralized DC's offense he just didn't have the power, gas tank and training time to do more.
