At least initially, Ray Longo and I had the same reaction upon hearing Anderson Silva ’s comments on the “accident” that cost him a victory in his rematch with UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman at UFC 168. Both of us, it turned out, read the translation of Silva’s remarks in a recent Globo interview and found ourselves thinking, to quote Longo , “Wow, this guy.” I might have even said it out loud, maybe in those exact words. This guy . He gets knocked out in the first fight, gets dropped in the first round of the rematch, then snaps his leg in half after a well-executed check by his opponent, and his takeaway is that the other guy shouldn’t consider it a win because blocking the kick was “instinct, not something that he trained to do?” Seriously, Anderson
