Close calls catch up with Silva in stunning loss to Weidman at UFC 162

Their paths would seem destined to cross again -- Dana White assured us of a rematch -- but it might not be for a while. After the fight and at the press

Their paths would seem destined to cross again -- Dana White assured us of a rematch -- but it might not be for a while. After the fight and at the press conference, Silva expressed a desire to step away from the sport. Not a retirement, exactly, but a sabbatical after seven years of teaching other men hard-won lessons. "I just want to take some time off and go home and think about everything and be alone," he said. "There's a lot of pressure defending this title. I've defended it for a long time. I need some time for myself."
