MMA last night

Definitely an ugly break, only thing holding his foot on was tissue/skin. Already had surgery and had a rod inserted but I bet his career is over. I don't think he can come back from something that bad at 38 years old. How about the Rousey/Tate fight? Now Rousey is 8-0 with 8 arm bars. Crazy. She looked flat out twice as strong as Tate the way she was throwing her around too. Good night of fights.
A little off topic but how is Rogan's podcast? He's always good on the Ellis show but I've never heard his podcast. Is it mainly UFC talk or more comedy/political/talk topics?
Yeah he has a lot of comedians on but his guests are pretty vast. I never judge the podcast by the guest because they never seem to stay on what their "expertise" is for very long. They talk about UFC quite a bit. It's not overpowering one way or another. IMO
I enjoyed the Marc Maron podcast he did quite a bit. They are all pretty interesting. Just skip the first 5 minutes though, he's just pushing his crap usually the first 5-10 minutes.
Rousy was a BITCH on a mission!! We were rooting for Meisha. She just looked dead tired in that last round.
Cant believe silva got beat again. He was so dominant before & lost the previous match by a lucky strike imo. I really thought it would be an easy win for him. Guess not. Sucks he literally got broken too.
Ronda is a friggin beast! Both looked smokin af the way-in.

I believe Weidman has won every round he's fought Silva.
Hell yeah she was! I think the girls talk more crap than the guys do. The strait up hate eachother
Silva will not be able to compete again... That type of injury will take a very long time to heal. What does he have left to prove? He was dominant for 16 fights. Frickin nasty looking break though
If he tries to come back; his leg will be a target for any opponent he faces. It could be devastating to him.
Yeah I don't see him coming back. There's no point. Nothing more to prove. He's the best, not Goin to change that any. He's old enough now to think about it. Enjoy the life ahead of him.
I agree he won't compete again but I think it's more age related that will be the deciding factor. I was surprised how quick they expect recovery to be. Only 3-6 months.
I know they put a rod in. I don't know enough about that type of injury and recovery to know if that makes it weaker than before and a target like you said. Either way, hate to see anyone injured like that.
titanium rod was put in his leg and they said very optimistically that he would be 9 months before he could begin training.
Realistically he's 38, not old by most standards but in mma, he's past his prime, and wounds heal slowly. Anyone that watches Louisville basketball remembers Kevin Ware. His broken leg was much like Silva's, a complete fracture of the tibia and fibula, but his broke the skin. Ware is still not going to play this year so his recovery will take nearly 2 years. I assume Silva will try and come back, but even a year + recovery time puts him at almost 40, and as mentioned, his leg will be a giant target.

Yikes!
That will buff right out!
Seriously it looks like you are looking at a imagine in a fun house mirror at a circus.
