All seems to be well with Bruno Silva
after he suffered a scary knockout loss to Marc-Andre
Barriault at UFC
315.
“Blindado” was down on the canvas for several minutes before being
taken from the Octagon on a stretcher on Saturday night at the Bell
Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. During the broadcast, it was
revealed that Silva complained of neck pain after being rendered
unconscious by some brutal elbows from his Canadian opponent.
However, after being transported to a nearby hospital, the
Brazilian revealed that he is in relatively good health.
“Stopping by to inform that I’m fine,” Silva wrote on Instagram
(translation via MMAFightig.com). “I went to the hospital and
did exams, it’s all OK with my health.” The 35-year-old Silva
suffered his fifth straight loss — and the first knockout defeat of
his professional career — on Saturday. It’s likely that the former
M-1 Global champion will be released from the UFC after his latest
setback.
“I’ve received a lot of messages from people that really like me,”
Silva wrote. “I was well, I wanted to win so I could give my
message, of everything I went through to come back to my feet, but
it’s part of life. I’m a winner, and this moment won’t end my story
and my legacy. All honor and glory to God.”
Silva won his first-three Octagon appearances, all via KO or TKO,
before falling to future two-division champion Alex
Pereira via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 203. That
began a rough stretch in which “Blindado” would win just one of his
last seven UFC bouts.
