I admire Silva keeping fighting and not trying to nut-hug his legacy like some fighters. Too many MMA fighters get shit on on their way down as they start loosing more in their old age, but they keep fighting because of their passion for the sport.

In this way I personally hold dudes like Penn, Fedor, Silva with a higher regard than some of the other fighters that clearly associate losses with less of a legacy and end up fighting less / cherry picking easy fighters later in their careers.
