Last Saturday at UFC Fight Night 95 in Brasilia, Brazil, veteran heavyweight Roy Nelson (22-13) knocked Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (19-10, 1 NC) down in the second round. Sometimes it can be hard to tell what’s going on in a fighter’s mind, and the moments that followed the conclusion of this particular fight were bizarre.
Nelson popped up after the fight in a visible rage, stomping around the ring and throwing around gestures that made it clear he was pissed. At first glance you’d have thought he had lost. Most viewers probably assumed that it was just some over-hyped adrenaline-induced reaction to the win.
