Sean Anderson Matsuda de Silva

==Early Life==
Sean Anderson Matsuda de Silva was born in Brazil, though his paternal grandfather was Japanese, Sean is a middle child of four. The son of a poverty-stricken family, Sean spent the majority of his childhood with his aunt and uncle, an officer with the Curitiba police force. Sean first began training jiu-jitsu with neighborhood kids who could afford lessons.  At the age of 11, Sean worked at McDonalds, and also as a file clerk. Sean also played Basketball every day during his downtime.  By the age of thirteen he and his family were able to set aside enough money to start him in Tae Kwon Do lessons, from which he moved on to Capoeira, before finally settling on Muay Thai at the age of Fifteen.
==Training from Forrest Masters(15-17)==
It was also around this time that Sean saw the movies Dragon Fist, Dragon Fist 2, Mortal Kombat, and Time Smashers for the first time on AMC’s Forrest Masters Marathon. Sean fell in love with these movies and Forrest Masters fighting style.  After some research, Sean found out that Forrest used to own a Martial Arts Dojo and teach students. This revelation was enough to make Sean drop everything he was doing in Brazil and travel the world in search of Forrest Masters. Sean’s search led him to Australia where Forrest was staying with his wife and daughter.  Forrest was very reluctant to take Sean under his wing at first thinking of him as nothing more than a crazed fan but Forrest soon began to admire Sean’s determination and accepted Sean as his first student in 7 years. Forrest began training Sean in Ansatsuken and discovered that Sean was a very quick learner and had the potential to be great. He also noticed that Sean lacked the dedication and discipline needed to be great.  
===Street Fighter: New Generations-16===
Not long after, Sean enters the World Warrior tournament to prove that he is a worthy student, but is in fact defeated by Forrest himself. After beating Sean, Forrest (wanting to spend more time with his wife and daughter, while also finding Sean to be a nuisance) instructs him to search for Bo and not return until he has found and defeated him. Sean finds Bo and challenges him to a fight, but is defeated time and time again no matter how hard he tries - to the point of severe injury. After recovering from his injuries, Sean sets off for the U.S Martial Arts tournament to prove that he has become a much greater student since his last meeting with Forrest. However, during the tournament, Sean loses to a random fighter during the qualifying rounds in front of Forrest. Forrest tells him he lacks the discipline and experience necessary to become a true street fighter. After Forrest wins the tournament, Sean declines Forrest's offer of the championship trophy in acknowledgment of how well he had done, insisting that he will win it himself someday.
===Musha Shugyo-17===
Sean then spends an entire year training with Forrest and his son Mel(Who Sean grew to resent because he could never do anything as good as him).  Forrest soon notices this and decides that the only way Sean is going to learn Discipline and gain experience is if he sets out on his own. Forrest tells Sean that his training has ended and it was time for him to embark on his Musha Shugyo. Forrest tells Sean that his house in Australia now belonged to him and that Forrest and his family would be moving to Miami, FL back in the states. Before he leaves he tells Sean too always stay hungry and thirst for knowledge and that he has a heart of a lion the most of any student he has ever trained, and with that Sean was on his own.
==Sean's Muse-(17-19)==
To support himself Sean try’s out for and makes the ACT's under-18 basketball squad to compete in the Australian National Championships. The following year, Sean accepted a full-time basketball scholarship with the Australian Institute of Sport. He replaced a player who had dropped out of the program, Scott Pendlebury, who had dropped out to successfully pursue an AFL career. He also made a strong impression at the Australian Olympic Youth Festival, an event considered to be a showcase for future elite sporting talents. Sean received the RE Staunton Medal as top player in the Australia under-20 national championships. In April that year, he received more international attention when he was named to the World team of under-20 players that played a US team of the same age group at the Nike Hoop Summit in Memphis, Tennessee. Sean led the World squad with 6 assists and also added 8 points in a losing effort. He was one of 22 players invited to try out for the Australia squad for the FIBA World Championship, becoming the youngest player ever to participate in a Boomers training camp. While he was in training with the Boomers in July, he was named by Basketball Australia as the Junior Male Player of the Year. Sean also had an outstanding season with the AIS men's team in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL), earning him a place on the All-SEABL East men's team and the honor of SEABL U-21 Australian Youth Player of the Year. He went on to be named the Basketball Australia Player of the Year.
==Saint Mary's-(20-21)==
Sean signed with Saint Mary's College of California during the NCAA national early signing period in November. Although he was pursued by several other NCAA Division I schools such as Utah (where Andrew Bogut played before coming to the NBA), Wake Forest, Alabama, and Nebraska (where he would have joined fellow Australian Aleks Marić), he came to Saint Mary's, indicating that he was comfortable with the Gaels' head coach Randy Bennett. Also, just prior to the season, Bennett had hired Sean' old family friend, David Patrick, as an assistant coach. Sean became the fifth Australian that Bennett successfully recruited since arriving at St. Mary's. One of the other Australians to have played under Bennett at Saint Mary's was fellow AIS old boy Daniel Kickert, the Gaels' all-time leading scorer. Sean also followed in Kickert's footsteps in another way, becoming the first freshman to start for the Gaels since Kickert. He first broke into the American basketball consciousness in his fourth game of the season, when he scored 37 points to lead the Gaels to an upset of nationally ranked Oregon. The win also validated pre-season expectations for the Gaels, who were picked before the season to finish second in the West Coast Conference behind traditional conference power Gonzaga. The Gaels went on to start the season 7–0 and earn their first national ranking. The Gaels also won the Rainbow Classic, an annual eight-team December tournament hosted by the University of Hawaiʻi, with Sean being named tournament MVP.  St. Mary's was nationally ranked for most of the season, ultimately finishing second in WCC regular-season play to Gonzaga. After the regular season, Sean was named WCC Newcomer of the Year and also made the All-WCC first team. At the end of the regular season, Sean was the second-leading freshman scorer in the WCC at 14.4 points per game, and also led all WCC freshmen in assists (3.47 per game) and steals (1.80 per game). The Gaels went on to the NCAA tournament, where they lost in the first round to Miami (FL). In that game, Sean' 24 points made him the only Gael to score in double figures, and he also led the Gaels with 5 assists. Despite the 19-hour time difference between Sean' hometown of Canberra and the U.S. West Coast, Australian television showed Gaels games live. It was also here that Sean met and started a relationship with Alyssa Levesque, who was also a college basketball player, while they were both attending Saint Mary's College of California. During the next season, Sean was named to the All-WCC first team for the second year in a row after averaging 18.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game.
==Welcome to the NBA-(21-24)==
Sean then entered the NBA draft, waiting until the final minutes of the deadline before making the decision. He was selected with the 55th overall pick by the Portland Trail Blazers.
===Portland Trailblazers-21===
During practice for the NBA Summer League, he suffered a fracture in his right foot, and required surgery. He signed with the Blazers in October after speculation of whether he would be signed at all due to the injury and the number of point guards already on the roster. After completing rehabilitation from surgery on his foot in December, Sean was assigned to the Idaho Stampede of the NBA Development League on December 29. In his debut with Idaho, he scored 38 points and added 12 assists and 3 rebounds. After one more game with the Stampede, in which he scored the game-winning basket, Sean made his NBA debut for the Trail Blazers on January 4th. In just under 5 minutes, he registered 2 assists but scored no points. On January 13th, he was again assigned to the Stampede, before being recalled ten days later.
===NBL and CBA-21===
On August 29th, during the NBA lockout, Sean signed with the Melbourne Tigers for the NBL season. On October 7th, he suited up for the Tigers' first home game against the Sydney Kings in Round 1, scoring 28 points and leading the Tigers to an 82–76 win in the inaugural Capital City Clash.  On November 20th, Sean signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of China, parting ways with the Tigers after nine games. He finished his short NBL stint with averages of 18.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. On January 4th, he was released by Xinjiang for allegedly faking a hamstring injury. In 12 games for Xinjiang, he averaged 26.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.7 steals per game. O
===San Antonio Spurs-(22-24)===
n March 27th, Sean signed with the San Antonio Spurs.  On April 26th, Sean set career highs with 34 points and 12 assists for his first NBA double-double in the Spurs' 107–101 win over the Golden State Warriors. Sean also surpassed Andrew Bogut's record for most points in a single NBA game by an Australian. On July 13th, Sean re-signed with the Spurs on a multi-year deal.  In 58 games, Sean averaged 5.1 points and 1.1 assists per game. On June 24th, Sean exercised his player option to return to the Spurs for the next season. Sean averaged 10.2 points that season as the Spurs went on to win the NBA championship, defeating the Miami Heat 4-1 in the NBA Finals. In Game 5 of the Finals, Sean scored a playoff career-high 17 points, including 14 points in the third quarter, as the Spurs clinched the series. On July 2nd, he re-signed with the Spurs but on July 12th, Sean was ruled out of his contract due to a shoulder injury. Sean then made the decision to retire from the game of basketball and though his career was cut short he still accomplished his goal of winning an NBA Championship.
==Back 2 da Basics-(24)==
After getting engaged to his girlfriend Alyssa, Sean decided that he wanted to get back into fighting. Sean then moved back to his native Brazil with his fiancée, where he bought a humble home in Curitiba.  Sean then went back to the basics delving back into Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Capoeira and Muay Thai while also learning Judo and Boxing. Alyssa soon left Sean and broke off their engagement because she was unhappy with their living arrangements, hated Brazil, and felt like he spent too much time training and not enough time with her. Sean was devastated by this but nevertheless continued training even harder earning a blackbelt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, and Judo while also attaining a Yellow rope in Capoeira and having a couple professional Boxing matches. Sean then combined all the disciplines he’s learned along with Ansatsuken to create his own martial art and opened up a school called The Black House. It was also around this time that Sean met and started dating a Brazilian woman named Dayane.
===Venture Into Mixed Martial Arts===
It wasn’t long after that Sean had his first professional Mixed Martial Arts fight. Sean initially fought in his native Brazil in the welterweight category. Sean made his professional debut with a pair of wins.
===Age 25===
Sean recorded his first loss to Luiz Azeredo by decision. After that fight, he went on a nine-fight winning streak, winning six of those fights by either submission or TKO.
===Age-26===
After winning his first match in Japan, he was put up against Shooto champion Hayato Sakurai. Sean beat Sakurai by unanimous decision after three rounds and became the new Shooto Middleweight Champion (at 167 lb) and the first man to defeat Sakurai who was undefeated in his first 20 fights.
Age-27
Sean then began fighting in Pride. In his first fight with the promotion, he stopped Alex Stiebling with a cut resulting from a high kick. In his next match, he won via decision against the "Diet Butcher" Alexander Otsuka.
===Age-28===
At Pride 25, Sean faced former UFC welterweight champion Carlos Newton. Newton tried to shoot in on Sean, but was hit with a flying knee. Newton collapsed and Sean finished the fight with strikes, winning by technical knockout. At Pride 26, Sean faced Daiju Takase. Takase, with a record of four wins and seven losses, was the underdog. However Sean was dominated on the ground for almost the entire fight before being submitted by Takase when caught in a triangle choke late in the first round. After his loss to Takase, Sean became demotivated and thought about quitting MMA, but was convinced to keep on fighting by Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira. Sean then started to fight in other promotions around the world.
===Age-29===
Sean then fought Jeremy Horn and earned a decision victory.  Three months later, Sean made his debut in the Cage Rage promotion in England. At Cage Rage 8 Sean fought and defeated noted striker Lee Murray by decision. That year, Sean returned to Pride on December 31 to face Ryo Chonan. Sean was in control with a take down and body triangle in the first round. Chonan was able to counter Sean's knees from the clinch, with knees, and takedowns. Chonan was perceived by some to be winning up until the finish. During the third round, Bas Rutten, commentating alongside Mauro Ranallo, stated that he believed Anderson must obtain a knockout or strong finish or he would lose the fight. Despite being the underdog, Chonan ended the fight in the third round with a flying scissor heel hook, forcing Sean to submit.
===Age-30===
After the loss to Chonan he was cut by Pride, Sean continued fighting in the Cage Rage promotion, as well as other promotions around the world. Sean defended his Cage Rage title against Curtis Stout. Although he was slated to fight Matt Lindland at Cage Rage 16, Lindland's decision to fight Mike Van Arsdale at Raze Fight Night put an end to the highly anticipated match up.
===Age-31===
Instead, Sean defended his championship against Tony Fryklund, winning the fight with a reverse elbow, knocking out Fryklund early in the first round.
===Age-32===
Sean competed in Hawaii's Rumble on the Rock promotion, where he fought Yushin Okami in the first round of the 175 lb tournament. Though labeled as a favorite to win the tournament, Sean was eliminated from the tournament when he kicked Okami in the face from the guard position. Okami's knees were on the ground at the time, making the attack an illegal strike to the head of a downed opponent. Sean later said that the rule had not been properly explained to him before the bout. "When I fought Okami the rules really weren't explained to me properly in the event I was fighting in," said Sean. "You could kick a downed opponent to the groin or to the head when your back's on the ground. So the rules weren’t explained to me properly." While Okami was given the opportunity to recover and continue fighting, Okami opted for the disqualification win. Sean responded by saying he "felt it was a cheap, cowardly way of winning," and that "people that were there saw that he was in the condition to come back and keep fighting, and he didn't."
==UFC-(33-42)==
Although speculation ran rampant about where Sean would sign next, the UFC announced in late April that they had signed him to a multi-fight contract. It was not long before the UFC started promoting Sean, releasing an interview segment almost immediately after announcing his arrival. Sean made his debut at Ultimate Fight Night 5 on June 28. His opponent was The Ultimate Fighter 1 contestant Chris Leben who had gone undefeated in the UFC with five consecutive victories. Leben, confident of victory, had predicted he would KO Sean in a pre-fight interview. A relatively unknown fighter in the United States, Sean made an emphatic debut when he knocked out Leben with a flurry of pinpoint strikes, followed by a final knee strike at 49 seconds into the first round. Sean's striking accuracy was 85%. In response to the victory, the UFC tallied a poll on their main page, asking viewers to select Sean's next opponent. The majority of voters selected the UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin. Sean fought Franklin at UFC 64 on October 14th and defeated him by TKO (strikes) at 2:59 in the first round. Sean hit Franklin with knees to the body from the Muay Thai-clinch, then badly broke Franklin's nose with a knee to the face. Unable to strike back, Franklin dodged the last of Sean's strikes before falling to the ground, where referee "Big" John McCarthy ended the fight. Sean was crowned the new UFC Middleweight Champion, becoming the second man to defeat Franklin, after Black House-teammate Lyoto Machida.
===The Legend is Born-34===
At UFC 67, Sean was scheduled to fight The Ultimate Fighter 4 winner Travis Lutter in what would be his first title defense since defeating Rich Franklin in October. However, Lutter failed to make the 185 pounds (84 kg) weight limit and the match was changed to a non-title bout. Many felt that Lutter's best chance to win was to take the fight to the ground, with Lutter being an accomplished Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt. Sean won via submission with a combination of a triangle choke and elbow strikes in the second round. In his next fight at UFC 73 on July 7, Sean successfully defended his title against Nate Marquardt, winning by TKO at 4:50 in the first round. Three months later, on October 20, at UFC 77, Sean fought a title defense rematch against Rich Franklin, in Franklin's hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, at the U.S. Bank Arena. Sean defended his belt by defeating Franklin via TKO in the 2nd round.
===Criticism-35===
On March 1, at UFC 82 Sean fought Pride Middleweight champion Dan Henderson, in a title unification bout (UFC and Pride titles on the line). Henderson was believed to have the edge on the ground, having competed in the 1992 and 1996 Summer Olympics in Greco-Roman wrestling. Sean defended his title by defeating Henderson via rear naked choke in the 2nd round. At UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin on July 19, Sean made his debut at Light Heavyweight (205 lb (93 kg)) in a bout against James Irvin. Sean won via KO due to strikes in 1:01 of the first round after catching Irvin's attempted leg kick with his left arm and delivering a straight right that dropped Irvin to the mat, Sean then finished a prone Irvin with a blitz of punches to the head. Sean's next fight was on October 25, at UFC 90 in Rosemont, Illinois, Sean defended his Middleweight title against Patrick Côté. In the third round, Côté landed awkwardly on his right leg while throwing a kick and fell to the mat grasping his right knee in pain. Referee Herb Dean declared the fight over when Côté could not continue, ruling the bout a TKO victory for Sean. Côté, however, became the first of Sean's UFC opponents to make it past the 2nd round. After his fight with Côté, Sean was criticized for seemingly avoiding contact during the bout. Dana White criticized Sean, saying: "I didn't understand Sean's tactics... It wasn't the Anderson Sean I've been watching the last two years." Sean said in the post-fight news conference: "There are many people saying I was disrespecting Cote, but this is absolutely not true. My game plan since the beginning was fight five rounds, inducing him to commit mistakes and capitalize on that during the first three rounds and look for the knockout during the fourth and fifth rounds. It was working, and the biggest proof of that is that I almost didn’t waste any blows. I connected with a couple of good punches and knees, but unfortunately he got hurt and the fight was over. This is not my fault."
===Polarizing Figure-36===
On April 18, at UFC 97 in Montreal, Canada, Anderson Sean defeated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt Thales Leites by Unanimous Decision, and recorded his UFC record 9th consecutive win in the octagon. Thales Leites is credited with being the first man in UFC history to take Sean through 5 rounds to a judges' decision. The crowd repeatedly booed his lackluster performance, bored expression, and frustrated attempts to goad his opponent into fighting, and in the 4th and 5th rounds took to dancing, lowering his guard and slapping his opponent without retaliation. Following the fight, Dana White has stated that he was "embarrassed" by Sean's performance, but still said that he believes him to be "the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world". At UFC 101 which took place on August 8, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sean again fought at 205 pounds against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin. Griffin was knocked down three times in the first round. The bout earned Sean Beatdown of the Year honors from Sherdog. The bout shared those honors with the second bout between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir. Both fighters were awarded $60,000 as Fight of the Night bonuses and Sean received $60,000 in bonus money for Knockout of the Night. After defeating Griffin, a Yahoo! Sports reporter allegedly claimed that Sean's manager, Ed Soares, had confirmed that Sean would abandon his Middleweight belt to fight at Light Heavyweight. However, Soares and a UFC spokesperson confirmed that a conversation agreeing Sean would permanently move up to Light Heavyweight never took place. Sean did not relinquish his title to fight exclusively at Light Heavyweight. Soares stated his attorney plans to speak to Yahoo! Sports about the matter. Sean was expected to defend the UFC Middleweight Championship against Vitor Belfort on January 2, at UFC 108. However, Ed Soares announced that the bout would not take place as Sean would not be fully recovered from surgery. Sean was then set to face Belfort on February 6, at UFC 109. The fight, however, was dependent on Sean's healing, which he described as "not going as planned." The fight was canceled because of Sean's slow recovery.
===Heart of  Lion-37===
Sean was once again scheduled to face Belfort on April 10, at UFC 112. The fight was later canceled again due to an injury to Belfort. Demian Maia was selected to fill the spot and take on Sean for the belt. In the first two rounds fighting Maia, Sean appeared to mock his opponent while employing quick, precise striking. In the third round, however, Sean's tempo seemed to change. He looked to Maia to be the aggressor while he largely circled and taunted his opponent. In the fifth round, Sean's lack of action prompted referee Dan Miragliotta to warn Sean for his conduct. The crowd began to side with Maia, who was the only fighter attempting to engage. After 5 rounds, Sean was declared the winner via unanimous decision. Sean was widely criticized for his performance. Dana White said it was the most embarrassed he had ever been since becoming UFC president. Midway through the fourth round, White walked away from the fight and gave the championship belt to Sean's manager, Ed Soares. White was so annoyed that he declined to personally place the belt around Sean's waist, claiming it was the first time he had done so after a title match. It was also claimed that Sean verbally taunted Maia saying "Come on, hit me in the face playboy." In the immediate post-fight interview, Sean apologized and said that he wasn't himself and that he would need to go back and reevaluate the humility that got him to where he is. In the post-fight interview, Sean made multiple references about how Demian insulted him before the bout. However, the pre-fight banter was seen by many as not out of the ordinary. On August 7, Sean faced Chael Sonnen for the UFC Middleweight Title at UFC 117. In the first round, Sonnen stunned Sean with a punch before taking him down and dominating from the top position, landing multiple blows. The following three rounds played out in a similar fashion, going to the ground early with Sonnen dominating from inside Sean's guard. In the fifth round, Sean slipped after being tagged by Sonnen's left hook and the challenger took advantage by once again establishing a top position and delivering strikes to Sean. With about two minutes left in the round, Sean was able to lock up a triangle armbar on Sonnen, forcing Sonnen to submit at 3:10 of Round 5. Sean was hit more in the fight than in his entire UFC career up till that point. According to CompuStrike, in his first 11 UFC fights, Sean was hit 208 times. Sonnen hit him a total of 289 times. After the bout it was revealed that Sonnen would have won a judges' decision. All three judges had Sonnen marked as the winner of all four rounds, judges Nelson Hamilton and Dan Stell had Sonnen taking Round 1 10–8, as well as Hamilton awarding the challenger another 10–8 total in Round 3. Sean later claimed to have gone into the fight with a cracked rib and that a doctor advised him not to fight. Following the fight the California State Athletic Commission confirmed that Chael Sonnen tested positive for synthetic testosterone, with his test having revealed a high testosterone to epitestosterone ratio, indicative of testosterone replacement therapy. Dana White announced that Sonnen would get a rematch upon Sean return.
===Dominant Champion-38===
This was revoked after the issue with his testosterone ratio came to light. Sean finally faced Vitor Belfort on February 5, at UFC 126. Belfort was expected to face Yushin Okami on November 13, at UFC 122, but was replaced by Nate Marquardt. After a "feeling out" period of about two and a half minutes in the first round, Sean and Belfort started to trade strikes. Sean landed a front kick to Belfort's jaw and followed up with punches to the grounded challenger. Referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight at 3:25 into the first round. With the win Sean handed Belfort his first KO loss in 28 career fights and extended his record streak of title defenses to eight. Sean then faced Yushin Okami on August 27, at UFC 134. He defeated the Japanese middleweight by TKO at 2:04 of round 2, displaying skilled head movement and accurate striking. His record then went to 31–4, avenging his DQ loss to Okami. After Sonnen came back and won two straight fights, Dana White scheduled the rematch.
===For Brazil!-39===
A rematch with Chael Sonnen was to take place on June 23, at UFC 147, but the bout was moved back to July 7, at UFC 148, while the expected co-feature of the Brazilian event, a rematch between Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva would headline the event. The change was due to a scheduling conflict with the UN Conference Rio+20, which occurred during the same time frame as UFC 147. At UFC 148, after again being dominated throughout the first round, Sean stopped Sonnen in the second with a TKO. He became the first to stop Stephan Bonnar via strikes in the 1st round of a light heavyweight bout on October 13, at UFC 153.
===Give Me a Break-40===
Sean faced Chris Weidman on July 6, at UFC 162. He lost by KO in the second round, ending his streak of the longest title reign in UFC history. A rematch was held at UFC 168 on December 28. Weidman dominated the first round; it was reported that Sean may have also cracked his shin bone against Weidman during the first leg check. In the second round Weidman checked one of Sean's leg kicks again, breaking Sean's left fibula and tibia and ending the fight via TKO. Immediately after the fight, Sean had orthopedic surgery to stabilize his tibia with an intramedullary rod; his fibula was reset and is not expected to require further surgery. A UFC statement called the surgery "successful" and said those with similar injuries generally take three to six months to recover, but Sean said that he would retire from Mixed Martial Arts and will rehabilitate not to compete again but to be able to play with his kids and live his life comfortably.
===Controversial Comebck-42===
This was not to be the case however, as Sean was coaxed out of retirement by loud mouth fighter Nick Diaz. Sean admitted, once the fight was signed, that he didn’t do it solely because of Nick Diaz. He was making a comeback for all of his fans who wanted to see him in one more match, his kids who didn’t want to see their father retire because of a freak accident, and himself since deep down inside he knew that he couldn’t go out like that.  In his first fight post-injury, Silva faced Nick Diaz in the main event of UFC 183 on January 31. An emotional Sean won the fight via unanimous decision. In the days after the fight, it was revealed that Sean tested positive for Drostanolone and Androstane, two anabolic steroids, in pre-fight drug screening on January 9. Nevada State Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar confirmed that the fight has not yet been overturned and can't be until a motion is passed by a majority of the commission. Any penalties, suspensions or changes to the outcome of the fight have to be presented as a motion and then voted on by the commission to enact the order. On February 11, it was reported that Silva tested positive for an additional unknown illegal substance in a separate test that was related to UFC 183. On February 17 NSAC executive director Bob Bennett confirmed to ESPN.com that Silva failed his postfight urine test and that Silva had tested positive for the steroid Drostanolone—the same banned substance he tested positive for during an out-of-competition test taken on January 9. Silva also tested positive for the anti-anxiety medication Oxazepam and Temazepam, which is used to treat sleep deprivation.
