I know that taunting and show boating is part of Silva's game, but it seemed a bit much. He's always going to showboat, but he doesn't usually start doing things like hitting himself after being punched. I mean he spent as much time taunting as fighting. IMO, he badly underestimated Weidman thinking he was another Griffin or Bonner. Weidman is legit.
Nothing lucky about that punch. He tossed that flicker jab and got him moving right into his left hook. Just excellent striking.
There's a lot of talk about Silva throwing the fight, and that's understandable when you get blasted off of your feet while mocking the guy in front of you. I doubt it though. I think he simply underestimated Weidman though. The guy has been untouchable for so long. I"d love to see them fight again.
