Anderson to Aldo: Please hit the ‘boy’ Conor a lot
Anderson Silva: “I think Conor McGregor is a nice guy, but Jose Aldo is a much nicer guy. I am a brother of Aldo until I die! Hit him a lot, Aldo! Please hit him a lot.”
Anderson Silva recently spoke with Brazilian media giant Globo about UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo defending his title against Conor McGregor.
“Jose Aldo said what we needed to hear – we have the king, the prince and the fool,” said Silva, via Google translate. “‘Nuff said. I think (Conor) is a nice guy, but Aldo is a much nicer guy. I am a brother of Aldo until I die! Hit him a lot, Aldo! Please hit him a lot.”
Silva took issue with comparing Aldo vs. McGregor with the rivalry he had with the trash talking Chael Sonne., and
“I do not see any comparison,” said Silva. “He does not have any condition to face Jose Aldo. How? You saw the last fight of Aldo? Do you think this boy will endure what (Chad Mendes) endured vs. Aldo? Never!
“I would run from Aldo (if he were in my weight class). I’m no fool, I’m not crazy dammit.”
Anderson Silva next fights Nick Diaz at UFC 183 on Jan 31. Aldo fights Conor McGregor at UFC 187 on May 23.
