It seems like Anderson Silva has every intention of making a return to the Octagon.
Many were ready to close the book on his storied career after he suffered a gruesome injury at UFC 168 against Chris Weidman, but the former champ seems eager to get back to training.
Anderson Silva asked doctors in pre-op: "When can I train?"

Dr. Sanders says the injury was "extremely close" to being far, far worse.

Dr. Sanders: [Anderson Silva] has asked me every time I see him on my rounds, 'Will I be able to train? When can I train?'

Dr. Sanders: "[Anderson Silva's] age does not play a role in fracture healing."

I personally hope that Silva doesn’t retire without making a return to the ring. Would hate for the last memory we have of this great fighter is the scenes at the end of the bout on Saturday night.
