UFC light heavyweight contender Thiago Silva was wrong, and he admits it.
In an era in which professional athletes have gone so far as to lie
under oath in regard to their use of performance-enhancing substances,
Silva is taking the exact opposite approach.
In a statement delivered to MMAjunkie.com, Silva admits he cheated for
his UFC 125 matchup with Brandon Vera, and he’ll accept whatever
punishment the NSAC recommends. After that,
the Brazilian said he’ll come back a changed man.
