While speaking to TMZ, Silva revealed whether or not he plans to retire after fighting against Paul. After all, he will be 48 soon, which is not optimal fighting age. As it turns out, however, Silva is still very interested in continuing his career.

"I don't know when I'm gonna stop. I know one day I will stop. But not now," Silva said. "I try to challenge myself every day, and especially right now my kid started fighting, and I help my kid."

This should be good news for Silva fans, who have grown up watching him dominate.
