The mentor of "Spider" argues on his fight with Vaydman and prospects of return to sports.
Silva it is necessary to Anderson the long period of restoration. However already now there are hints that "Spider" is going to return in октагон.
Silva endured an awful trauma, having broken a shin during fight skrisy Weidman on the UFC 168 tournament. It immediately operated, having connected bone fragments the probe; it is expected that it will be able to return to trainings in 6-9 months … if wants. According to his trainer Pedro Rizzo, Anderson plans to continue performances in UFC.
"In hospital Anderson told me: "I will return, the master. I will return", - Rizzo speaks. "I answered it: "Yes, you will come back home for restoration and rest". And it to me – "I will return, the master". He is a fighter. It has six months to be restored, and then he will decide that to it to do farther".
"If he wants to return – he has all to continue to fight. He is the strong guy and is able to cope with pressure which upon it was put all these years by UFC. Anderson will solve everything. He simply broke a leg, now he has time for thoughts. It doesn't need to prove something in the oktagena any more but if he decides to continue to fight – we will support him".
Rizzo was in Anderson's corner on UFC 168. And it was devastated when saw a trauma of the ward.
"Such ending nobody could imagine. Two months of a hard work. We had no Christmas – we carried out it in a hall in Las Vegas. It was concentrated on this fight during all camp, he was ready".
Rizzo started working with Anderson since 2011, and was sure that Silva will manage to return himself a title of the champion.
"I was absolutely sure that he will win that fight. I worked with it from the moment of fight against Vitor Belfort and never saw it in the best form. We expected that Weidman will be better in the first round, but Anderson always slowly harnesses then to disperse as it is necessary. Nobody expected that everything will end so".
According to Rizzo, he perfectly understands how Weidman after the end of fight – after all Pedro felt and itself was in a similar situation.
"It happened to me when I acted by rules of Thai boxing in Belgium. My opponent struck a kick, I blocked it, and his foot was broken. It was just the same trauma. I didn't feel that it is a victory, and, I think, Weidman considers as. It was accident. I can't call it a victory a knockout, it simply happened. It is really bad, you at all don't celebrate a victory".
Despite "accident", Rizzo doesn't consider that Weidman "was lucky" in his revenge with Silva.
"Weidman blocked a kick and it happened. In Thai boxing the such occurs constantly, the broken leg and deep sections. Weidman used equipment for blow blocking, but the fracture of the leg is an accident. It is impossible to tell that he was lucky, but to one of participants of this fight didn't bring, it is exact".
