everyone knows that Anderson Silva went through a traumatic experience inside the octagon in December 2013, when he suffered a serious leg fracture while trying to regain the UFC belt in front of Chris Weidman. Even though the injury is behind him, the episode may have haunted the Brazilian last Saturday (27), in the defeat he suffered against Michael Bisping at UFC Fight Night London.

At least that's what the fighter's boxing trainer, Luiz Dórea, believes, who, in an interview with the website of the channel “Combate”, stated that Anderson lost confidence and had difficulty finding distance in his striking when he thought he had fractured his leg again. . “Anderson was having difficulty finding the distance, because when he kicked, right at the beginning of the first round, he felt his leg, his shin, he thought he cracked it”, he stated, putting his hands to his head and indicating that it was something psychological.
“So, that limited him, he was more limited in being able to box and kick. Anderson thought he cracked his shin and his left leg. So he was a bit out of touch, but he continued to be forceful. See what Bisping’s face looks like”, added the coach.
Despite the bruises on the Englishman's face, Anderson did not do enough to be named winner in the judges' decision, as Bisping took the victory unanimously. It was Anderson's third defeat in the UFC, having not won in the Octagon since October 2012.
