People talked like he was the second coming when he came to the UFC. There were threads about him being a future champ. Phone Post 3.0

i didnt think roids

but i immediately thought he looked physically softer, slower, and less aggressive

def not the same erick silva i saw his first couple of fights in the UFC

for sure there was a difference in his physical appearance

seems like you missed a couple of his fights then

I sort of agree with VinegarStrokes...sort of.  Dude has been in some good fights, but I do recall him being talked up at one time like he was the future of the weight class, a destroyer, etc.  He's for sure a great fighter, but he's not one of the elite in the weight class yet.

vs. 

wow

Probably. With this new fucktard schedule, FS1 and fight pass, I miss a lot of fights. Phone Post 3.0

Scroll to the weigh in pics. He is a little less tan. Other than that, virtually identical. Phone Post 3.0

Well the UG does go full potato every now and then. Phone Post 3.0

Said exact same thing. Maybe this Brazil steroid link is true?? Phone Post 3.0

He doesn't look unhealthy by any means but definitely less vascularity and muscle tone. Was probably using cutting drugs like clen, etc Phone Post 3.0

No doubt about it Phone Post 3.0

I was disappointed. Didn't help seeing Magney run away for the last 30secs of the fight.

Silva just doesn't seem to have the highest fighter iq either... Hardly threw any shots when he was on top. Didn't seem to cut off the cage either just chased.
