Joe Silva is great at booking fights... and it's pretty clear he has been less involved in doing so lately.

The discussions on this forum about what fights should be made after an event usually produce better ideas than Joe Silva's match making.
Sure, but people on a forum do not have to take into account injuries, time outs, suspensions and fighters just not wanting the fight they are being offered.

I think he has done a good job for the most part.

Ninja said I don't create the threads(though I have been recently), I actually hold off creating the thread to give Shady the chance to start the thread.

He also does everyone on the card, for me it's about finding 10-20 fights worth talking about.

He is not being fired, he is retiring. Silva has been doing the job for 20 years and has tried multiple times in the past to retire, only for the UFC to throw more money at him. The guy is w-e-a-l-t-h-y WEALTHY. This is the perfect time for him to retire.

I bet most people don't have a clue as to what Silva does or how tough a job it is.

If it's retirement it is well deserved and hopefully he takes the rest of his time with the company to properly train his replacement. But yeah it is possible that he doesn't want anything to do with big money matches that don't make sense. In reality McGregor vs. Diaz 2 didn't make sense but made money so go figure.
