Joe Rogan: Anderson Silva's next opponents will try to break his bones like Weidman

[ReadWrite]

"You've got to make sure that it's completely healed up before you check it again. [Opponents] are going to do the exact same thing," Rogan explained.

"Anybody who fights Anderson is going to practice checking kicks like a mother [expletive]. Guys have come back in other sports, but those other sports are very different. They don't involve purposefully trying to break your bones."

Silva does not need low kicks. He can completely stop low kicks and still beat every future opponent. They are a high-risk, low-value weapon of a fighter with many weapons.

[MartyMcFry]

Well that makes a lot of sense.

 

[Cooliox]

it's simple. He'll stop throwing left low kicks, or at max he'll stop throwing left kicks. That's all.

Move along, nothing to see here.

 

[Archon]

He found some good weed

It's like when Reem kicked Brock in the stomach right after his diverticulitis surgery.

 

[mightymask]

You'd have to be an idiot not to. I'd be aiming for that weak leg, jose style.

 

[Molluscum]

Fighter known for varied and unpredictable arsenal of strikes now has a thing he sure as fuck will not be doing.

Also now has a giant "HIT ME HERE" button on him.

Also has two nasty losses in a row after a long, long reign of being the invulnerable voodoo daddy of asskicking.

Seems fairly significant.

Except Silva didn't break his leg by being scared of vegetables and Canada.

 

[The Real Pedro]

Anyone targeting Silva's new bionically weaponized leg will be sorry.

Like Corey Hill's opponents?

All of the leg kick checking conjecture since that fight is cringeworthy.

 

[That209]

Like Corey Hill said, it's going to be a big target from now on.

EDIT: Someone beat me to it

Is rogan a doctor now?

bones typically get stronger after a break, not weaker.

 

[ectera]

I doubt the same scenario would even take place again. The doctor that treated Anderson's leg said its going to be much more stronger or something like that.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

That left tibia is not going to break.

 

[schwe30]

Well no shit people are gonna be targeting it. I doubt they'll have the same outcome tho.

 

[Dart Feld]

Remember when KZ's got a dislocation midfight and Aldo immediately targeted it?

Ofc, there will be fighters targeting Silva's leg from now on.

What no they fucking don't you clown.

Wtf really?

 

[HIMBOB]

They are a high-risk, low-value weapon of a fighter with many weapons.

High risk? we have seen two fights lost due to checked kicks, how many fights have we seen won by leg kicks?

Hell Aldo and Cerrone must have 5 each at least.

 

[liberate]

What no they fucking don't you clown.

Yeah they do from what ive heard, they repair thicker than the original bone was, as ithe body is 'overcompensating' to ensure the heal is complete.
