I think it will help immensely. He has the tools to be a champion, but his coaching is horrible. He needs better gameplans, and he needs to know what to do when he is hurt or tired. He really could be a champion, but he needs way better coaches.

Needs more Soul Glo
"plenty"? Really name more than three fight camps there that produce consistant performance
Please tell me youre effing joking...im so tired of brazil and its nut huggers finding every excuse and this is one of the worst.
Plenty of fighters have had to go through this, and we dont have a gang of huggers running to their aide.

I just think there are some fighters that can get it done in the gym but can't reach that top level in the cage. I mean him no disrespect, and maybe he can figure it out, but I don't think he'll ever been a serious contender. And "no", and Jetlag isn't it.
"Jet lag, medically referred to as desynchronosis and rarely circadian dysrhythmia, is a physiological condition which results from alterations to the body's circadian rhythms resulting from rapid long-distance transmeridian (east–west or west–east) travel on high-speed aircraft."
Brazil is really more south-north, north-south.
Furthermore I have next to no respect for the jetlag excuse from any fighter. Get to where you're fighting a week prior. Whether that's in Cinci, or Siberia. The destination is never a surprise, plan for it. Your body is your weapon, get it prepped.

lmfao
Fight IQ is a weak spot for sure. He MUST learn how to pace himself and he needs to learn how to tire out his opponents when he's in the dominant position. Currently, he's the one who gets tired out when he's in dominant position. He pretty much already has the skills to be top 5. He hits hard and fast. He gots punches, kicks, and submissions. He can take a hell of a beating before he wilts. He's an oddity really. Even while I'm watching him I can't quite point out what he's doing wrong.

I wouldn't say that. He had basically given up 10 seconds after Matt Brown got up in the first round. Silva was running for his life with his back facing Brown.

I think it will help. He has a ton of potential. In the right hands, he could become a monster. He just needs more discipline. He needs better control of his emotions. maybe a sports psychologist could help. But yeah, I think we could see a new improved beast.
How is that a refutation of what I said? He was already running away before he'd even taken any punishment from Brown. It was his cardio that did him in at that point. He was dominating the round up until Brown got back to his feet.

He wilted the second he saw that Brown was up and coming for him. He gave up and became a punching bag.
Wilted from seeing a guy get up from being completely dominated? He was just tired.
