Silva was eventually pulled from the show, but thanks to the benefit of reality television, the initial conversation in which the legendary middleweight was told the news was caught on camera.

I did take anti-inflammatory shots. No way, I’m telling you, I didn’t do it. Are you crazy? I took hydroxocobalamin for three days.
“That was the only thing I took.”
