Erick Silva says he is no longer a young prospect: "Those were different times"

[Joe_Armstrong]

I'm not really a Nick Diaz fan but his fight with Daley was great.

Dude was basically the 90210 version of prospect... not to many highschool students in their 30's these days...

When you're only 19 but have been fighting since you were a kid, you're a veteran in a way.

 

[Tranaas]

lol at this young kid calling himself an adult. Great talent, but there are things that can only be learned with age.

 

[basedgodfedor]

Lmao ok kid

I dont know if he's ready to leave the prospect stage of his career.

 

[DrGlaze]

Huge if true.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

Man it's a real shame to see such a hot prospect get so full of himself like this. It's very obvious he's still working on adding wrinkles to his game, and here he is out here talking like a veteran.

Bad mindset, hopefully he can turn it around

which part was he 'full of himself'?

Bellator failed with Pico or Pico failed Bellator.Lets hope this young stud doesnt suffer the same fate.

 

[trentkelp]

If he went from UFC down to Bellasnore...the hype is dead! Just facts

 

[thobra]

He will always be a prospect.

Erick changed a lot with USADA, And never found the way back, so I am sure Bellator will be good for him. This version of E. Silva probably beats all other versions.

I think he loses today, but I an rooting for the kid.

 

[podsox]

Kids always wanting to be treated as adults.

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

Good that he has that point of view in this early stage of his career.

 

[Lifeform]

Just wanted to be first to say, "give him time, he's still learning."

When he beat up that Japanese guy, i thought he would be a future champ for sure!

He looks like a Brazilian Justin beiber
