Anderson Silva har under den senaste tiden återhämtat sig från en skada på sitt vänstra ben, som gick av vid titelmatchen mot mellanviktsmästaren Chris Weidman under UFC 168. I dagsläget är Silva nästintill helt återställd, men han har fortfarande kvar en del komplikationer från skadan.
Här kan ni läsa vad Anderson hade att säga, via ”BloodyElbow”:
I was very apprehensive when I had the injury, I thought that I wouldn’t fight anymore. Fabiano Bastos is following my recovering and we can note the deficit of strength that my leg has. I’m doing some stuff that I used to do because I can’t right now. I’m trying to regain this condition at my strength training with master Rogerio Camoes and the physiotherapy. I was very scared about this situation. I had never had an injury.
The injury has been overcome. There still is some blocking about the kind of move that I do when training. We’re working on resolving this issue so I can do everything that I used to do with effectiveness. I’m still unsafe. At my takedown defense training, I use my leg, my knee and my hips. I lost a little of strength and balance at my hips. We’re training to regain this. There is a important strength training and physiotherapy to achieve this. My head need to be fine. I’ll be back.
Silva kommer härnäst att möta Nick Diaz, då de går match vid UFC 183 den 31 januari i Las Vegas.
