Well, when something like this happens, it's hard not to talk about it.

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 29 Dec 2013, 14:44

Ariel Helwani tweeted this out earlier

Anderson is yelling at the top of his lungs on the stretcher backstage. I've never heard anything like that. A horrible sound.

fuuuuuuck

didn't this happen to another ufc hard-on bearer?

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 29 Dec 2013, 16:32

Yeah, like 4 years ago, I forget his name.

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 29 Dec 2013, 16:34

Cory Smith or something

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 29 Dec 2013, 19:39

Seen this last night

He's probably done now right? I heard he was thinking about retiring soon anyhow.

Did they amputate

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 30 Dec 2013, 03:56

The put a rod in it. 3-6 months for recovery.

As far as his retirement talk, this came from an interview with Ariel Helwani, were he was smiling and just basically said who knows?

You can only take what he says to the press with grain of salt, he's always saying weird shit to fuck with them. Like insisting that he be given half ownership of the UFC in exchange for fighting Chael a second time.

he could still win

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 30 Dec 2013, 06:24

I imagine they would put him in either just fun fights, or a no.1 contender match. At this point they would probably let him do whatever he wants to close out his career, and just be glad he came back.

My cousin posted a picture on Facebook of a spider with a broken leg captioned "Too soon?"

N.igga's leg reminded me of that cartoon Elastic Man from the 80s. Shit.

What made you more sick, Silva's rubber leg or that photo of jorsh's stepdad's chili?

Well, here's some good news, Apparently everything is on track to heal normally, and the bone should return to full strength and Anderson was asking when he can train again as early as the pre-op room. Here's a link to a conference call with the surgeon:

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 01 Jan 2014, 05:39

seen this on your FB. good news indeed.

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 01 Jan 2014, 06:00

This also leads me to believe that his retirement talk prior to the event was what I thought it was, him just messing with the media.

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 01 Jan 2014, 06:20

Something else to note, to the best of my knowledge, Silva has never bled in any of his fights.

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 01 Jan 2014, 06:37

what is the typical retirement age for ufc/mma?

hes already 38

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 01 Jan 2014, 06:43

Depends on the person. Randy Couture retired at 47, Dan Henderson is 43 and still active and kicking some ass. I could see Anderson being competitive into to his 40's. We'll just have to see what happens.

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 01 Jan 2014, 07:12

shit i forgot about couture. liddell was up there too.

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 01 Jan 2014, 07:15

Liddell also had a glass jaw at the end.

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 01 Jan 2014, 09:56

He broke Franklin's arm with a kick.

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 01 Jan 2014, 11:38

Glass jaw.

This photographer lady does these retrospective photo thingies for most events, and they are always really neat.
