Silva vill möta Roy Jones Jr innan han kommer tillbaka till UFC

Detta skrev han på sin officiella Facebook-sida.

“When I get better, that’s my biggest goal, especially because I won’t be able to fight MMA too soon,”

“Fighting in boxing is in my plans, yes, as soon as I’m able to fight again. And Roy is a big idol.”

Familjen vill helst att han slutar med MMA efter skadan, men Silva vill komma tillbaka till sporten.

“I respect and understand their concern, but that’s something that has to come from my heart. That’s not in my plans. I’m focused in my recovery, but I want to get back as soon as possible. That’s who I am, it’s part of my history”.

“I’m 100 percent positive that I will be back, but it’s not only up to me. They are helping my recovery and it is super positive thus far. But I need their feedback to be back at 100 percent. I don’t see myself doing other thing, at least for now. It’s not just fighting, it’s also training.”
