"After the first round he [Anderson Silva] said he broke his ribs. He said told me he could not breath because of the rib. I told him to forget the rib and work the movement of legs and he would get the triangle… After the fight he went to the hospital and did an x-ray and the doctor said he did not break it, it was just a crack," Lemos said.

All you guys calling Andy and Ed liars need to eat crow and STFU.
Anderson is a warrior for fighting through that injury and I'd love to see him fight Sonnen at 100%
Also, I'd love to see Sonnen shut up Bisping in the mean time so he can stay active.
The smack talk in this fight would be EPIC!
Anderson is the greatest UFC champion of all time.
^^^ I believe the guy who saw it first hand front row!
frontrowbrian - It's bullshit. A cracked rib doesn't take 7 months to heal.
You'd have to be a fuckin idiot to believe that story
A broken rib heals completely in 6-8 weeks and Anderson's isn't even broken, it's cracked. Huge difference. Cracked rib is much less serious

YOU HAVE LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CRACKED POPPED OR BROKEN RIB? MINE TOOK 4 MONTHS BEFORE LIGHT ROLLING WAS ALLOWED ...QFT
Vitor vs.... who now?
frontrowbrian - I wouldn't be shocked if Anderson does sit out until March but only because he got punched in the face 350 times on Saturday and he's 35 years old. Not because of a cracked rib. That will heal in a few weeks.
You are a moron. Stfu and VTFD if could. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Troll.
i'd like to see sonnen fight belfort in the meantime
Bing

Bailx - i'd like to see sonnen fight belfort in the meantime
if sonnen can make that fight in november for 123 i would love to see it.
sonnen vs leben would be good
Oh yeah, Anderson's jiu-jitsu trainer said that so it must be true!!
Lets see some x-rays.
The excuses are pathetic. Are we to believe that if he was 100% all of a sudden he could outwrestle Chael?! Please! Chael's timing on the takedowns was perfect and he was more than willing to stand and trade. Chael's the one who was hurting Anderson in the standup and completely destroying him on the ground.

Thanks dr. frontrow.
Yes, everyone who surrounds Andy is a habitual liar. Andy is going to take in extra 3-4 months off just to make his lie more believable!

have you ever had a rib injury...they take forever to heal. I messed up my serratus muscle and it took 4 months to heal. Brutally painful.
He doesnt need an Excuse... HE WON THE FUCKING FIGHT!
7 mos for cracked ribs, that crazy Ed Soares...
Here4aDay - The silva bashers who said it was an excuse for how bad he looked sure do look stupid now. I knew something was up, makes sense he was hurt.
Still props for chael for whooping on even a hurt silva.
That's exactly how I feel. This is to take nothing away from Sonnen, he's a bad mofo and I'd love to see a rematch.
I'm just sick of all the stupid Andy/ Ed Soares bashing.

Generally speaking, a cracked single rib doesn't take anywhere near 7 months to heal. Anderson's camp should just admit he wants to take a long vacation because Chael beat the shit out of him. I couldn't blame him. He's 35 years old, declining skills, got punched in the face 350 times... he does deserve a break.
But to say a cracked rib, not broken, needs 7 months? Please
Hey moron, do you even realize that it says he will be back in febuary/march? You realize he has to train for at least 2 months right? That makes about 4-5 months healing time, not 7. And I can already tell you have never trained, nor have injured a rib before.
I think you are butt hurt that your boy Chael got beat.
Nicdom - Also, I'd love to see Sonnen shut up Bisping in the mean time so he can stay active.

fuck yea!
