Maybe he fights Diaz and gets this shot after.

Doubt it though, Jacare and Romero both waiting.

The only thing Romero is waiting for is for his USADA hearing. He's nowhere near hte picture right now. Jacare lost,

Everything suddenly makes sense, he's like the opposite end of the autistic spectrum to Palhares

I'm sure many of us wondered why Silva seemed hesitant at times on Saturday night. This explains it, from his coach:

"He felt a kick he landed in the first round, thought he cracked his leg and a screw moved. That limited his movements, made him stop attacking for a moment. I asked him to attack, but he said ‘professor, I'm feeling it, I have no confidence'. I said ‘use your heart, you're Anderson Silva, go after him'. That slowed him down a bit."

Perfectly understandable really. It must be so tough to recover mentally from that.

Was at this event too. Few fights were absolute stinkers but some were excellent.

That Tom Breese fight was absolutely pathetic and it being the first time I saw Breese I was severely underwhelmed.

The Mousasi v Leites fight was bad matchmaking really. Leites (improved striking or not) cannot compete with an A-Level striker in a boxing match.

The Scott Ashkam KO of Chris Dempsey was the sickest KO I've seen in person.

I couldn't score the Bisping Silva fight there but after watching it back a couple of times now I'm actually leaning towards Silva 48-47, winning rounds 3,4 & 5. Effectiveness over quantity imo and I feel he did more damage in the 4th which was the most disputed round. It was an incredible fight to witness in person and I jumped up higher for the flying knee knockdown higher than I ever did for any Ireland goal haha!

Thought part of that was straight out of the wizard of oz for a second

My arse, Silva has done similar on plenty of occasions in the past.

If his head isn't in it he should give it up. Personally I don't know how he could throw leg kicks again after what happened.

He if the leg was a concern.He has two arms, two elbows and the other leg to look for the KO with.
