Didn't Silva step up to LHW?

[MCMXCIX]

Didn't he step up on short notice(I believe) to fight Bonnar and say something about Jones pulling out of UFC 151? I think he said something like "This is why we never had to cancel an event". I might be crazy and just full of shit. Can someone tell me if this really happened or am i a complete moron.

Silva has stepped up to LHW multiple times, usually to save a card as a last minute replacement.

 

[darrenm]

Yes - three times in the UFC I can think of... Against James Irvin, Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar.

 

[MEAN357]

yep happened a few times

 

[McGrubie]

Yes to both of your questions

 

[sapporo ichiban]

Yes. And I for one, respect that shit.

 

[shonuf]

He did it vs Jame Irvin as well because the UFC wanted to counter the Affliction card.

 

[MCMXCIX]

Thank you guys for answering. Does anybody remember what he said about Jones pulling out of 151?

Keep in mind this was before USADA testing though so they never caught him on his cycle.

I have just seen an article posted on Facebook about this, rumors that Silva will fight Cormier, sheesh not in a million years did I think this would happen lol.

Silva hasn't failed under USADA. USADA testing in UFC started July 1, 2015, only time Silva failed a test was the Diaz fight which was in January 2015

Jesus Christ imagine if they had USADA back when he was champ. Dude would have been popped immediately.

You're an idiot

It's really hard to believe some people still support known roiders.

Whatever helps you sleep at night dude, don't know why you feel the need to name call.

He failed his first random test.

USADA really would've done a number on that guy.

He failed the fight night test and he has been tested on fight night in every single one of his ufc fights and never failed one before that incident

 

[I see stiffness]

Yep he stepped up and fought guys that wouldn't test him in the slightest. Bums.

He wants no part of prime DC. DC would retire him.

Uh no.

He actually failed both a random (his first random) pre-fight drug test on Jan 9 as well as a post-fight test on Jan 31.

Don't be naive.

Obvious troll is obvious.

He failed a random, passed a random, and then failed the fight night test. If he was doing this his entire career how did he fail the fight night test this late into his career? I really think he took the roids because of his leg injury, obviously using the tainted Thai dick pills excuse was a stupid move. He would have looked a lot better just admitting he used for his injury and it will always be a mark on his legacy, but I dont think he roided his entire career.
