Det blev officiellt här om dagen att Vitor ”The Phenom” Belfort brutit sin hand under förberedelserna inför UFC 147 och att matchen mot Wanderlei Silva därmed var inställd.
Idag använde Silva twitter för att dela med sig av sina tankar om skadan och dess bakomliggande orsaker och det var verbala mord och inga visor.
“(Fighting me) with one hand (laughs)? We are professionals. It’s a great irresponsibility not to be careful on training, a great disrespect towards the fans. I’m really sad. I’m ready to knock you out, you have nowhere to run. This fight is happening. I guess you got scared of me. Nobody trains so hard that breaks his hand. We use the best equipments, gloves, bandages”, skriver Wanderlei enligt Tatame. “If you were scared, you shouldn’t have accepted it. If you really got it broken, it’s amateurism and if you didn’t, you’re scared. In both scenarios, it was irresponsible of you towards the fans. Pardon the word, but I’m pissed with your amateurism. A main event on the biggest event of the world and the guy shows up like that”.
Även om svaret från Belfort inte var direkt riktat mot Silva var det tydligt vem det var adresserat till.
“The emotional imbalance of some reveals their fears. I than your support big time and also my sponsors. Believing in yourself is not being arrogant. I’m still confident and I respect my opponent, which now is my injury”, menar Belfort.
