“Nakisa [Bidarian] invited me to come to fight MMA or kickboxing,” Silva told Ariel Helwani. “But because I’m in this process now [of becoming a police officer] to study, to keep my mind work on the one thing, I just say, ‘Oh, I can’t this time.’ But when I finish the whole thing, probably I have one or two more fights, only boxing.”
“I’m not have a mind anymore to train in MMA, it’s just too hard for me to [come] back to train MMA,” Silva added. “Of course, I train jiu jitsu every day. I train in boxing two days a week. But MMA no, not anymore.”
