Silva recounts near-brawl with Lopes’ team
“We saw each other today at the hotel. It almost went down,” Silva told MMA Junkie through an interpreter. “But it’s all good. … He was with his team. A bunch of 135ers and 145ers. I was with my team. Some 170ers, some 185ers. I think the bigger dogs barked louder.
“He said a few things. He kept asking me how I liked it. Security kind of stepped in, but Flávio Álvaro, one of my coaches, an old-school guy, kind of came to him and said, ‘Bro, just chill out, or you’re going to get it here.’
“You know how Brazilians are. … He’s really lucky that Carlos Prates is not here. Carlos almost beat up (Nassourdine) Imavov’s manager (in Paris). You can imagine this guy without people around what would happen.”
