Except he said he wanted to fight the lightweight over a year before the lightweight challenged him.??
He ACCEPTED a lightweights challenge. Very different.

And the article was published Feb 2017. Don't know the exact date of the interview since google results are flooded with articles from Conor's more recent call out.“First of all, I respect a lot Conor McGregor because this man changed everything in the UFC. Because I’m very respectful of Conor McGregor’s style. I think it’s a great challenge for my martial arts techniques,” Silva said. “I don’t talk to disrespect Conor.
“I do it for challenge, for myself and the best stand-up fighting. I respect Conor and I think this is a great show, it’s a great fight for the rest of my life. For the rest of my story in the UFC.”

Arguably Conor's "challenge" was really just a response to that call out over a year prior. Everybody wants a red panty night.
It's kind of funny how quick so many people are to forget what Anderson is capable of. Don't get me wrong, he's not the same fighter at this age after a leg surgery as he was in his prime -- so much of his greatness was because he was so hard to hit and those reactions/timing are the first thing to go with age. He also should have an asterisk for PED use.I'd fight him for way less than Silva.

However, he is still Silva.
And there is no comparison between him and Conor because of the size advantage. I don't think it's even competitive.
It would be a glorified exhibition like Silva vs DC was but I do think it would be entertaining. Just like BJ or Minowa going up in weight. Probably would look like Minowa vs Cro Cop but Conor does have a good chin so maybe he could eat some head kicks.I think they'd put on a good show for us. Give us an entertaining show.

Because is a rare way to tell and deviate from what really happened.How does that not make sense to you??
Because Nick's the A-side and a true fighter that always comes to throw down.
why's anderson silva keep calling out nick diaz? it wont do much to his legacy and nick is pretty much retired. even on this video, he's still calling out Nick
