His biggest win came against Fedor Emelianenko in Strikeforce's heavyweight tournament. Davis thought the larger-than-life fighter had the skills to become a superstar in the sport and took a role as Silva's manager. Shortly after, Silva fought in Japan, and the prefight medical exam revealed an abnormality with the pituitary gland, known as acromegaly, in which tumors on the gland cause excessive creation of growth hormone in the body.
So we talked to the Japanese doctors a little bit, and then I went deep into it and started looking into it. Then we got into a doctor, and we've been treating it ever since in some way. If developed in teenage years, acromegaly results in a condition known as gigantism, which is associated with excess height. Because Silva developed it later in life, the Brazilian's symptoms include pronounced growth of the hands, feet and skull, as well as a general thickening of the skin.
Silva, 33, has had surgery to remove the tumors around his pituitary gland and is on medication to prevent further complications. It will actually kill you. But if it's taken care of, it will be fine. Silva's condition has led to complications in his professional career. In , in an apparent attempt to boost lagging testosterone levels caused by his condition, Silva and his team said, he ingested an over-the-counter supplement known as Novedex.
