UFC matchmaker Joe Silva could be leaving

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

UFC matchmaker Joe Silva has informed the company that he will leave his job with the organization, possibly as soon as the end of 2016, MMAjunkie has learned from a person close to the situation.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not publicly authorized to discuss the matter.

Silva’s departure will come on the heels of the UFC’s sale to a group headed up by talent agency WME-IMG, a deal that Silva is said to have profited from as a company executive.

Good for Joe to cash out now. That can't be an easy job to deal with, and he's been doing it 20+ years.

But poor, poor Sean Shelby. His workload is gonna suck

Joe Silva was never my friend.

Good for him. He's given us plenty of great moments and I hope he enjoys his retirement.

He's responsible for most of my favorite fights and most of the ones I hated.

First in the cage, last to leave. That's how I'll remember Joe Silva.
