Silva hints at injury for 'ridiculous' performance against Magny

UFC welterweight contender Erick Silva is 'embarrassed' of his showing against Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 74.

Welterweight slugger Erick Silva hit another roadblock on Sunday Night at UFC Fight Night 74. The Brazilian was expected to cruise past short notice replacement Neil Magny in the co-main event but found himself on the losing end of a lacklustre split decision.

Silva, known for his devastating power and savvy submission game, never seemed to find his groove in the Octagon against Magny, as the American stayed out of harms way and utilized his range to outland his opponent.
