Anderson Silva’s road to recovery continues as he works the pads

Anderson-Silva-2996395

Look at Anderson, less than two months removed from his leg going full Gumby to being without a cast and back on the mitts. I’m no doctor, but I’m impressed by his Wolverine-esque healing powers. When I first saw his leg shattered on Chris Weidman’s knee, I think we can all agree that we thought Anderson’s career was done and down the drain, but now I’m not so sure.

We’ve now seen Anderson rolling on the mats and hitting the pads. Could this mean a return in 2014 is in the cards? Let’s be realistic. Let’s say he mends for another six months, which puts us at August, then he enters a three month training camp so he can fight in November or December. That makes sense. I think he can do it.
