Erick Silva: "This fight made me realize I still don't belong in the top"

[TheGreenRanger]

Fuck, that's a tough pill to swallow for a guy.

Hope he comes back stronger.

 

[Shammon]

I think he did say something about a body shot and then after that, he just didn't know.

Well, given how terribly he gassed against Fitch and Dong, I think it has more to do with him than body shots.

 

[neandertal]

I never understood why alot of ppl on here liked to see him lose,

He is too good looking.

 

[pclanadmin2]

hespect to erick for not making excuses.

 

[Crimp_Keeper]

Took his loss like a man, I respect that.

This. Just made me like him ever more.

 

[Scuba]

Monica
keep on trucking Erick and learn from that fight

 

[Hardkore]

I still believe he could fight for a title some day, but it seems like he was pushed too soon. He is still young. He needs more time at lower levels to mature and become a truly great fighter. He definitely has all the talent and athleticism necessary to succeed.

Young? He's 30 years old

 

[Raylan]

Been a fan through and through. Wish him all the best.

Honorable mentions
Edson Barboza would not have been ko'ed by Cerrone if he didn't blink when he got hit.
JDS after the 2nd Cain fight had a divorce, had kidney problems,
Anderson only took 5 rounds to finish Sonnen because of his rib

it cracks me up some of the excuses on the cover says "Period Pain" "Herb Dean" & "Voodo"

 

[JackWhite]

Good on him for not being delusional and taking the loss like a man. I really hope he can switch things up and get better, dude has some serious potential.

Silva v wonderboy gets my vote.

 

[skombolis]

Much respect. No excuses. No claiming the better man won 'that night'. Not asking for rematch. Just simply understands his best wasn't good enough and he needs to keep working. That's stepping up and owning something.

Don't forget AIDS.

Erick Silva must not have been born in Brazil...

Nice to see a guy admit he has a lot of work to do. Very untypical of most fighters who just say they got caught or there is nothing wrong with their style. Sounds like he is questioning if he wants to still be a fighter.

He might be better off going to Bellator or WSoF to get some more experience. If he can become a champ there, he'll be back one day.

 

[infamouz ice]

Wow, what a humble dude.. I hope he goes to blackzillians

 

[Face Punch]

Please don't go to ATT...

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

He might want to take the Arona route and just become a beach bum while he still has his looks.

 

[Etherized]

If he can keep a good head on his shoulders like that - he's going to go places. He already has the physical gifts.

 

[Bacon Bits]

I call shenanigans on these statements. I refuse to believe they came from a Brazilian.
