my buddy who was ringside ... well better yet he was in the cage.. works for the comish.. the red jacket guys.. he told me Silva was rubbing his leg in between rounds and complaining about it... possible he hairline fracture and just finished the job .... the kick that broke it was not one of silva's hardest kicks... but he did forget to open his hips... thats what happens you will break if you don't open...
Bas Rutten made a video on the 21st of dec talking about it...

then anderson did not open and bam.. I dunno... was it broke in 1st round ? was it technical error on silva? never know.... silva was losing bad ... but this is not a way to lose.. silva would rather be KO.. anyone would.... my friend said Anderson's screams in the ring gave him chills....
Injury is always part of the game ... but it sucks to see.... Hope he heals quick....
