But in the twilight of his career, Silva (34-9 MMA, 17-5 UFC) is switching it up to ask for a rematch with Nick Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) in his former hometown. “Maybe I think it makes sense to fight Diaz in Curitiba,” who passed the torch to middleweight star Israel Adesanya (16-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in the co-main of Saturday’s UFC 234. “I’m just waiting for (UFC President) Dana (White), because it’s not time to make the decisions. Hopefully, I’ll fight in Curitiba.” Silva, 43, spent many of his formative years in the Brazilian city while a member of the famed Chute Boxe team
