Less than 60 days before his long-awaited return to the Octagon, the former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva had a great scare. On Monday night (03), during a jiu-jitsu training session at the X-Gym gym, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Anderson felt severe pain when trying to get up, returned to the ground and worried everyone by informing that I couldn't feel my legs. The athlete had to be removed from the scene on a stretcher and was taken to Barra D'or hospital, where he spent the night under medical observation as a precaution. Despite this, the episode should not pose any threat to his return against Nick Diaz.

According to information on the “Combate” channel website, Spider was diagnosed with low back pain – pain in the lower back, a problem he has already dealt with on other occasions. The fighter was discharged this Tuesday morning (04) after undergoing a battery of tests, which included a CT scan, MRI and blood test, in which no major complications were found as a result of the episode. Anderson will now rest for a few days and should resume training normally soon.

At 39, Anderson Silva has a professional record of 33 wins and six losses. Former middleweight champion for seven years, between 2006 and 2013, Anderson experienced another major medical drama recently, when he fractured his left leg during his title rematch against the American. Chris Weidman, in December last year. One year and one month after the injury, Spider returns to the octagon against the American Nick Diaz in the main fight of UFC 183, in Las Vegas (USA).
