It’s been a year since Anderson Silva horrifically broke his leg in his rematch with Chris Weidman, and the former champ reflects on his injury ahead of his return bout against Nick Diaz at the end of January.

Galera, hoje faz um ano que sofri o acidente. Gostaria de agradecer a todos que estiveram do meu lado me dando forças acredito,que … Erros são, no final das contas, fundamentos da verdade. Ao examinarmos os erros de um homem, conhecemos o seu caráter. Com tudo que me aconteceu, aprendi que devemos ser gratos a Deus por não nos dar tudo que lhe pedimos, mas sim aquilo que precisamos para evoluir. Um Beijo no coraçao de todos Força e honra
