Anderson Silva wants fight with Conor McGregor
Recently, Anderson Silva spoke to Brazilian outlet Combate about his desire to fight McGregor in the future at a catchweight.
Anderson Silva has fought his entire career as a middleweight, but has fought as a welterweight before. And recently, Conor McGregor stepped up to the welterweight division, albeit a loss to Nate Diaz.
Recently, Silva spoke to Brazilian outlet Combate about his desire to fight McGregor in the future at a catchweight:
That’s a challenge I would like to do. I’ve never asked to fight anybody, but I would like to test my martial arts skills against Conor McGregor. I would like that and a rematch with Nick Diaz and Michael Bisping. I think McGregor is a great striker, but he didn’t do very well in his last fight because he played into Nate Diaz’s game and that’s really hard. The Diaz brothers have a lot of gas. You have to respect him, the loss to Diaz doesn’t diminish his career at all. These are the fighters I would like to fight. McGregor, Diaz and Bisping because that fight did not end nicely.
