Incredible. That left hook looked like it didn't have much on it, especially when one remembers Silva has eaten a flush overhand right from Hendo. Absolutely crazy.
As to those expressing concerns about the interview, part of me thinks it is poor translating as usual. I'll listen and note any discrepancies

Man, it looked like it was a combination of being right on the button and the fact that Silva was completely relaxed and not bracing for impact. His neck wasn't stiff at all, it was almost akin to someone getting blindsided. The reverse angle (from Weidman's back) showed it really well. The whole knockdown felt really weird, but the KO came on the follow up when Weidman got on top of stunned Silva and drove a monster punch through his face.
I think the rematch is going to be amazing (if Silva takes it seriously).
