I missed the fight, but when I saw the news headline about the knockout, I was at first stunned like everybody else and let it sink in, saw the pics, then after a while I thought something was fishy or some funny business was going on.
After watching the replay, I concluded it wasn't a fix or something fishy about it.
It was a typical case of an extremely overconfident champion highly underestimating his opponent, and inviting him to hit him as hard as he could.
Overconfidence and blatant underestimation will take down any long reigning champion. Particularly a champion who hasn't been defeated in 7 years.
Weidman is tough and hits hard.
Silva learned an extremely valuable his lesson last night. He can only redeem himself by re-matching Weidman and getting his title back.
