Five months later, Silva was interviewed about his injury. He says that he saw his leg cleanly break around Weidman’s. Knowing full well the gravity of the situation, Silva claimed that he would return to the UFC Octagon following his UFC 168 injury, but not within this year. Silva claims that he is taking this time off to catch up with his family and friends while he is still not yet recovered to his full strength. Silva’s primary concern is his looming fear of repeating his injury while trying to perfect his famous kick once more.
