"As soon as I left the Octagon, that fight was in the past. I look forward to getting back to Brazil and training for my next fight."
“This was my first time coming up here, it was a good experience, but my responsibility is to defend the 185-pound title,” Silva stated through his translator.
When asked whether he will be able to defend his title every 3-4 months Sylvia commented, “We always want to fight more, always being part of this family, the UFC,” Silva said.“He [UFC President Dana White] wanted to save me a little, but I’ve made this request to him, that he put me in a few more fights. He accepted.”
