#8 Thiago Silva plays the bongos
When Thiago Silva faced Brandon Vera at UFC 125, it looked like a tight fight to call. Unfortunately for Vera that didn’t prove to be the case as the stronger, harder-hitting Silva dominated proceedings for all three rounds, breaking Vera’s nose badly to the point where it resembled a beak once the fight was over.

The lowest point for Vera came in the third round though, when Silva unleashed a classic moment of disrespect. He found himself in control of Vera from behind, with ‘The Truth’ stuck in a crouching position, unable to escape. Silva landed some huge punches from behind before realising Vera was basically trapped, and so he changed his tactic and played the bongos on Vera’s back instead.

The crowd found the moment hilarious, and it only lasted for a handful of moments before Silva went back to pounding on Vera’s head with his fists instead. But it was a moment of tremendous disrespect, made even worse when it was revealed later on that Silva had failed a post-fight drug test for anabolic steroids.
