It’s pretty obvious both wins were flukes
1st fight Silva was clearly toying with weidman. He was coming off a 1st round ko win vs a lhw who’s not been finished up until that point (2 tko loses were due to doctor stoppages). He clearly went into weidman fight overconfident n felt unstoppable.
After giving weidman 1st round (Silva had the tendency to lose the 1st to “feel out” the opponent) Silva noticed weidman was visibly gassed n that’s went he went into his clowning mode. He didn’t respect the inexperience n gassed weidman n paid the price for it.
In the 2nd fight Silva lost the 1st round after getting dropped. He still finished that round strong by beating up weidman off his back n busting him up.
In the 2nd round weidman was once again visibly tried n probably didn’t recover from all the blows in the 1st round
Silva once again felt weidman was seconds away from being finished n that’s when he started throwing those telegraphed kicks. Weidman pretty much became a punching bag in that round n all he did was block.
The ending was a freak injury
Excellent post.
This is exactly what happened.
It's hard to take the opposite viewpoint seriously.
