Joe Silva Is Passionate About His Work


('Yes, now finish him you fool.  Finish him!  Mwahahahaha!' Photo courtesy of UFC.com)

The Canadian no-accounts over at Fightlinker went looking through the UFC's Fight Night photo gallery and found some pretty interesting shots, like this one of matchmaker Joe Silva getting all riled up about Rafael Dos Anjos' weirdo thigh compression move on Tyson Griffin.  We've previously taken note of Silva's tendency to lose his freaking mind when somebody does something cool, and we love to see a man with this kind of fire in the belly, but what do you think is going on with him here?  Is that the look of a man who is pumped up about the chance for a crazy upset, or a man who just realized that he forgot to close the garage door when he left home.  Oh God, the cats will get out!!!!

Joe Silva is the best. Gotta love how he freaked out after that spinning elbow on Stephan Bonnar.

I imagine Joe Silva and Tyson Griffin are the Corsican brothers and Joe feels Tyson's pain.

Gotta at least respect Silva's passion for the sport.

That is definitely the face of someone who is or was very excited about this calf/thigh splitter, but is now waiting for that ever gut-wrenching "popping" sound.

I think that Joe Silva is one of the main reasons for UFC's success.

What I didn't understand is why he didn't start kicking the shit out of that thigh after he thigh compressed it until it was melted rubber? Totally missed opportunity to fuck him up.

Look at that leg lock done by his legs. Looks sick as fuck. No wonder Joe Silva is having uncontrollable internal orgasms.

What's with the face of the guy sitting on Silva's right...it's creepy, demonic and yet fits the situation

After being punched in the balls by Rampage 5 times, Joe finally snapped.

Interesting...
Jared Shaw does THE EXACT same thing once and it somehow symbolizes how Elite was rooting for one guy over another and how it was unprofessional. This guy does is repeatedly and its considered passion.

Anal White openly roots for one of his favorites against another guy who works for him and its considered 'business' as usual when even boxing promoters would be embarassed to do the same

Oh wait, Ben's tongue is still stuck up White's taint so Im wont disturb him while he is eating....

Based on the expressions of the people around him, that looks like a man that just cut the cheese.

This is going to be my best pie yet! ^.^

So what that he enjoys and is passionate about his job. We should all be so lucky.

I think he does the same thing as jared shaw, because he roots for those who he wants to win, Hints Stephan Bonnar, we all know they are buddy buddy/Dana's bitches.
