Well, believe it or not, I actually intended to mention that I heard he may get surgery, and that if he did I would shut the hell up and retract everything I said about him having an agenda for pulling out of the fight. I never got around to making mention of that before this news broke, but all the same;
I was wrong. Clearly, this injury wasn't some kind of scam to get out of the Boetsch fight and scheme into a fight with Silva. It is obviously a legit issue, and I feel badly that it happened.
It's unfortunate that he got injured and has to be layed up for 4 months, especially what he went through with the storm and everything. I sincerely hope he recovers well and this injury doesn't affect his career negatively in any way.
