I doubt Silva is going to come back. He may just retire. To be honest, Silva doesn't need to come back. He has done more than enough. He has the record for the longest title defense streak. He hadn't lost in almost seven years. He ruled his division. His reputation would win fights before he even stepped in to the octagon to fight.
Silva's made enough money, he doesn't need to continue fighting. I read an article that came out before the fight. It suggested that the UFC would be better off if Weidman defeated Silva gain. Silva as good as he was fighting, was terrible at promoting, at least within the U.S. He didn't speak English well enough to make the talk show rounds. He also didn't like doing the promotional stuff. Weidman on the other hand can make the talk show rounds, and he doesn't seem to mind doing the promotional stuff.
