While he’s usually fairly tightlipped with the U.S. media, former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is more likely to open up in his native Brazil. Check out the video above as Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC) discusses his UFC 162 title loss to Chris Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) and the conspiracy cries that he threw the July 6 fight. Silva, in Portuguese, said he was embarrassed that the allegations might make his home country look bad. The segment was part of Saturday’s edition of the “Legendários” talk show.

Before we get started with this week’s Twitter Mailbag, permit me a few words about Brian Stann , whose retirement announcement came a little too late to spawn questions for the TMB. I admit that when Stann first mentioned to me that he thought he was done fighting, I didn’t quite believe it. Usually how it happens with fighters is they think that for a while, maybe say it out loud, but need a couple more fights before they really believe it themselves. Sometimes they make the announcement too soon, then start second-guessing themselves in the months and years to come.

Noted mixed martial arts referee Josh Rosenthal has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison. Rosenthal pled guilty to felony charges of conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana. Senior District Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong at the U.S. District Court in Northern California handed down Rosenthal’s sentencing, according to an MMAFighting.com report. The 37-month federal prison sentence was mandatory with no possibility of parole. In addition to the prison sentence, Rosenthal also received a three-year supervised release and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment fee, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. District Court office. The charges stem from a raid by federal agents on a warehouse owned by Rosenthal and his associate, Jeff Weller.
