RIO DE JANEIRO - Erick Silva’s last win was a costly one, but ended up giving him more time to do things differently.
Silva submitted Luan Chagas last September, winning outside the first round for the first time in his UFC career. He returns to the Octagon to battle Yancy Medeiros at Saturday’s UFC 212 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Ahead of his 14th UFC bout, Silva looked back at the recovery process he was forced to go through surgeries to fix a broken orbital bone and an injured shoulder.
