Silva isn’t happy that fighting in his home country means giving 27.5 percent of his income to Brazil’s government, as he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “That’s one more motivation to win,” he said. “Because if I lose, at this rate, there’s not much left.” But he is nonetheless looking forward to making the 13-hour trip from his current home in Florida to the beachside city. It’s a chance to redeem himself for headlines that have focused far more on what he’s done outside the cage than in it. Post-fight suspensions for drug offenses twice have put Silva’s career on the rails
