Man that was crazy. We were stunned when we saw it, no one said a word for the longest time.
Silva has been doing that stuff more and more and it ultimately bit him in the ass. For every fight he had he'd try something even more outrageous, he started developing bad habits because he got away with it. It obviously had devastating effect against mediocre strikers like Okami, Sonnen and Bonnar but it's ill advised against a dangerous guy with a big reach like Weidman.
We'll see where he goes from here after having some time off and thinking about things. He's still the greatest p4p in the world if he'd just fight a bit smarter and not show off so much. I give credit to Weidman for doing all the right things but it feels like Silva beat himself. Joe Rogan called it hubris and I think it's a fitting term.
Fuck, I don't know why I'm devastated but I am.
