Anderson Silva has been out of action for over a year. Even for the best fighter in the world, that takes a toll. It's made worse by the fact that through some of that time, Silva was unable to train due to the broken leg he suffered when Chris Weidman checked on of his leg kicks. Now, ring rust generally only matters for the first fight back - but that's the fight all eyes will be on. If Silva under-preforms in it, will he want to keep going? Could he wind up discouraged? Ring rust sometimes has too much emphasis put on it, but it will be a factor upon Anderson Silva's return.
