Prior to fight week, rumors that Anderson Silva had been knocked out in training started to circulate, and it caused concern.<\/p>\n

However, the former UFC middleweight champion defused those reports during wednesday’s pre-fight media scrum.<\/p>\n

MMAfighting.com<\/a>‘s Marc Ramoindi breaks it down:<\/p>\n

“Yeah,” Silva said. “Khalil [Rountree] gave me a kick in the face. Boom.”<\/em><\/p>\n

When asked if the kick knocked him unconscious, Silva said it did.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Yeah,” he said. “Serious. When I finish the training, I go to paintball. I shoot at Khalil. I’m the best at paintball.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s then when that broad smile came over Silva’s face. He had gotten the reporters in attendance at the MGM Grand all worked up and he knew it.<\/em><\/p>\n

After Soares told Silva “don’t say that” in Portuguese, Silva said: “I’m joking, man.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Evidently, that was Silva’s way of pooh-poohing the internet rumors. It was also his way of pumping up Rountree, his training partner and a top prospect for RFA.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Khalil is the next champion at 185,” Silva said.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
