He gave Chris Weidman a lot of credit for his performance.
He said that he was happy with how everything went, joking that people that complained about Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos going so short in November had three full fights go the distance Saturday.

So much for the claims that Silva was ducking Sonnen.

Huh? He has been LOL! Chael winning just confirms that Silva HAS to fight him now, he will still complain.

Anyone can get "re-injured" at anytime.

"After about four or five months I went back to training. I'm always doing some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in a gi with the guys so I keep everything well-adjusted, but due to the injuries to my shoulder and back, I'm a little slow. I'm doing physical therapy and nursing it enough so when I'm really back training there aren't any injuries that hinder me. It's a job all athletes have to do, you work at prevention. From doing therapy all the time to correcting posture and breathing to avoid the injuries. But no matter how much I did, I ended up hurt. First with my shoulder and now with my back. You reach a certain age where you don't heal as fast, so you have to take your time. I don't want anything to be wrong when I come back to the real hard training. I'll continue doing physical therapy until the pain goes away and I'll keep up the workouts."

"Jacare" talks to Tatame.com:
Quote :
"I believe that if he’s in good shape no one can beat him, especially Sonnen. Anderson has a black belt level at Jiu Jitsu. When he puts the gi on he does great. He can attack and defend himself well with no gi and, fighting MMA, no comments. But I believe that next time he won’t let Sonnen take him down. He has excellent takedown defense. Sonnen won’t even touch him."
