UFC Vegas 84 fighter gives bizarre "alter-ego" explanation for nearly four-minute long walkoutÂ
UFC Vegas 84 fighter has given a bizarre reason for a nearly four-minute-long walkout.
Jean Silva made his UFC debut last night at UFC Vegas 84 against Westin Wilson. He entered the octagon as a near -1000 favorite and was the biggest favorite on the card. As far as his fight goes, the debutant knocked down Wilson with his first big punch that landed. Silva then followed up with exquisite striking and secured a finish just 4:12 minutes into the very first round.
While Silva caught a lot of eyeballs with his impressive UFC debut, there was something else that stood out as well. The Brazilian fighter made a rather slow entrance to the octagon and took nearly four minutes for his walkout.
Upon being asked about it during the post-fight press conference, Silva said:
"I'm going to apologize for not knowing how to answer the question. I've said this before, it's another person. It's someone else. I've given a name to my alter-ego that's why 'Lord Assasin' came about."
