"I don't want to judge anyone and I really wish it's not a big health problem for [Lesnar], but I have some doubts," Silva said. "That big guy doesn't like being punched. In his last fights, he was put in the fetal position by Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez, which is humiliating for a fighter. I think he pulled out of the fight against 'Cigano,' who is a real heavy puncher and a real tough opponent for someone who doesn't like being punched."
"I've been fighting since 2004 and have never had any issues with another athlete, even the most stuck-up," Silva began. "Friendship, for me, is everything, but Josh is a weird guy, a guy who doesn't greet you when you enter the elevator, doesn't even say 'good morning.' It’s how he treats Brazilian fighters especially. It's the same thing with [Barnett and] Werdum."
"But when [Barnett] sees Fedor, [UFC President] Dana White or [UFC Chairman and CEO Lorenzo] Fertitta, he runs to them and stays by their side all the time. He makes me sick. He's the classic kiss-ass, a rude man... I really want to face Barnett and I've already said I consider him a filthy person, even though he is a great fighter, and that I'll beat him up and close both of his eyes."

Wasn't Silva mouthing off about Fedor "chasing around Werdum like a love-sick schoolboy" before their(Fedor/Silva) fight and talking other sh*t?
Then didn't he call Fedor a legend and kiss his ass putting him over afterward?

I think Silva needs to lay of the haterade... Why would Lesnar sign to fight Dos Santos in the first place and do the Tough Enough series with him, if he was always going to "pull out"? I think it's quite disrespectful to question his character like that... especially after what he's been through (and might have to go through again) with diverticulitis, to suggest Lesnar's "afraid" or unwilling to fight against Dos Santos (or anyone) is ridiculous. In his last fights, he was put in the fetal position by Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez, which is humiliating for a fighter. I think he pulled out of the fight against 'Cigano,' who is a real heavy puncher and a real tough opponent for someone who doesn't like being punched." ...because Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez aren't heavy punchers?  |

It seems as the Fedor fight went to his head.
