Walking down stairs........lifting weights in the gym..........walking on a treadmill...........now rolling?

Tomorrow a video is gonna show up somewhere of him running through 2 feet of snow with a log on his shoulders.

Yeah... IDK what to think about all this... it is an insanely speedy timeline so far...

Anderson Silva= the wolverine of mma

I guess it shouldn't be all that surprising. We'd be kind of foolish to look at a normal timeline of recovery for this injury and think that the greatest fighter of all time would fall in line with that. I would likely still be in bed crying at this point in the recovery period.

there is something iffy about this. there is no way he is rolling. he may be trying out a move to see how it feels but i doubt he can go free sparring.

I was one of those guys that said he should retire and stop fighting before he really gets hurt...but I gotta say, I'm getting pretty excited about this speedy recovery and how intent he is on coming back.

Chrom's nutty Silva theory: All of this fast recovery is to get one more giant payday and be done. He shows how fast he is healing, how well he is doing training, he is once again a mystical superman... at least until he fights again. So his drawing power is still huge and his ppv % will no doubt be enormous as well. He get's his one last pay off and he's out.

So you're saying he's going to lose his next/final fight, and he's just putting on a show by healing so fast?

IDK whether he will win or not, but I think he is banking on it being a big fight... which of course we all know it will be. The videos and pics are just reaffirming his former "mystique" of a super human. I think the longer he sits out the more his stock drops, and he knows it. The sooner the fight, the faster he heals the better for him, the UFC and his fans... not to mention his new found fans which are solely following him in hopes of his triumphant return to the throne.

If he wins I think he will take some time to decide if he sticks around or not, but if he loses I think we will see him retire.

Yeah, that........ or he just really wants to get back in there and fight like most other fighters coming off of injuries.

haha that pay-day theory...has no footing. (bad pun intended)

but i do think he is putting on a show. he is not ready to roll. he can barely walk, for fucks sake

I think he faked his injury...

Just wondering some of you guys thoughts on this but, who should Silva's first fight back be with?
