Manager says champ Anderson Silva “not bored,” isn’t sure weight jump is answer

Ed Soares is again stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He understands fans who wish UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva
would have finished Demian Maia during the main event of UFC 112. He does, too. He
doesn’t excuse the lack of action.

On the other hand, he’s Silva’s friend and manager and has a duty to understand – and to a certain degree, defend – the champion’s actions this past Saturday night at Concert Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
