just thinking back seeing the all time great grab his leg and screaming in agony was just a horrible feeling.


this morning he tweets

"brazil, I'm sorry. I didn't want to disappoint you. I did my best, I swear."


what a heart wrenching way to top off his career. would've been better if he got subbed or ko'd. I'm finding on message boards that even Anderson haters can't celebrate

Anyone else find it disrespectful that they did post fight ceremonies immediately afterward with him still on the ground in agony seeking medical attention?

Showing pointless fight high lights and commenting on first round highlights that had nothing to do with the outcome

Yeah,that was lame...White,or whoever is responsible needs to catch some major heat for that.

Solid card last night. As others have said, it sucks to see Silva go out like that. Even if he got KOd or subbed it would have been better. There's no way he comes back from that.
Weidman has beat Silva twice now, but I still think that Belfort and Machida will both beat him.
I think that Browne beats Werdum, but a fight with Cain could go either way.

you mean there's no way he comes back to fight? sure he can. the basketball guy that had the compound fracture was back dunking in like 6 months right? fighters in mma have come back from same injuries as well as in kickboxing/muay thai. These injuries, though more gruesome, are not as bad as ligament damages as far as recovery and repeat injuries

my thing is, he shouldn't come back because he doesn't need to. his legacy is set, there's nothing left to do, nothing left to prove. he's pushing 40 and only people on trt find success at the highest level after 40. for him to make it this far without trt is already amazing. and I think he can still compete at the highest level but there's no need

they do it all the time. guys are still laying on the ground in imagination land while the winner is being interviewed. when they got the ref to get Barnett and browne together to do the official winner announcement Barnett was still on wobbly legs

I get what you're saying though. it makes sense to have him taken away before doing the post fight interview because of the extent of the injury. but it may take a lot of time before they get him out. the show must go on but I get what you're saying

Imagination land isnt in agony

The ring isnt the only place they can do interviews either. U really think the crowd was paying any attention to them anyways?

it's not the same but it is. people concussed are still badly hurt. and guys have blown their knees and are screaming in pain while the other guy is being interviewed. I don't believe anyone meant any disrespect. these freak injuries are very few and far in between.

I think in-cage/ring interviews are important. it let's you know what the guys are thinking immediately right after the fight while emotions are still running high
 
I forgot their mics dont work outside the ring. Truth is theres SEVERAL places they couldve spoke to him after the match that wasnt a few yards from him

It really doesn't matter though as nothing is going to change as they don't have commercials breaks built in to come up with a quick plan to move it elsewhere.

The fight after the main event was a bloody mess. I felt bad for the opponent who was drenched in his foes blood

Corey Hill, came back after his leg break, but at Silvas' age (that basketball player was almost 20 years younger) he'll take longer to heal and as you said he has nothing to prove. Although, I don't know the full extent of the injury, he may have ligament damage as well and might have a permanent limp for the rest of his life. The chances of him coming back are 0.
 
Too soon?
