Anderson Silva Mistakenly Believes He Was Sent To Execute Stephan Bonnar

Oops, says the Brazilian

Silva Released This Statement (Translated)

I did not believe that the UFC would allow a fight as lop-sided as placing me in a cage with Stephan Bonnar. My friends convinced me, though I now know this to be untrue, that the United States has become more liberal with how death row inmates choose to die and that Stephan Bonnar had been sentenced to die and chose death by me.

I am a huge fan of the movie "Gladiator" and I thought, how cool would it be if I give Stephan a few free shots so he would believe he could escape certain death, and therefore, be sent to the after life in an upbeat and positive mood.

It was not until I had driven my knee into the deepest depths of his chest cavity in an effort to explode his heart, and the referee was pulling me off after I tried unsuccesfully to cave in his skull, did I realize that this was, in fact, a legitimate MMA match.

My apologies go out to Stephan Bonnar and my thoughts are with his family as he makes, what will surely be, a long and painful recovery from my attempted murder. Thank you to the fans for watching. - Anderson Silva
