That's something I would like to achieve. I never asked to fight anybody, but that's a challenge I would like to have, to try my martial arts skills against McGregor. I would also like a rematch against Nick Diaz and Michael Bisping. I think McGregor is a great standup fighter, but in his last fight he didn't last very long because he ended up getting into Nate's game, which is a great challenge for anybody. The Diaz brothers have great cardio. We have to respect Conor, the loss to Nate doesn't diminish his career. I would really like to try out my skills against McGregor.

According to Combate, Anderson told UFC about his wish to fight McGregor:

We could do it at a catchweight, since he told he's willing to fight anyone under the right conditions. I believe a catchweight bout would be really interesting to the sport, for me and for him.

Yes, go ahead and make this fight LOL.. It's martial arts, weight should never be an issue!

You fucking what Anderson ?

This is one of the most pathetic spineless call outs ever. Like that time Overeem called out Brock...only much worse.

Go fight Rockhold, Weidman, Rumble, Jones, Gustafsson or something. Stop calling out the 145lb champion.

hahaha if silva loses brazil will shut down as a country forever and become the province of Lower Uruguay.

So sad to see a past great decline like this... way too many hits to the head.

 

[barillas]

LOL, funny, I always said Anderson is not a sane person. Anyway, I would watch.

[IBack666]

Gotta be a joke that was lost in translation.








... right?

It would be a hell of a spectacle. Pride OpenWeight style. Anderson gets dropped by a gust of wind nowadays though.

 

[barillas]

The size difference would be just too big, Conor wouldn't come close to Silva, not to say about the strength, even ol Anderson could easily maul Conor in the clinch.

 

[EXOICHO]

Am i the only one who thinks this would be a hillarious and good fight?

It's retarded, of course, but holy fuck is it funny to imagine

 

[SirKratos]

Catch weight @ 175 Ibs, I suppose ?

It would be so bad that Conor would actually lose 5 Ibs after the weigh ins

Silva, on the other hand,would weigh around 190-195 Ibs on fight day

 

[ExitLUPin]

Anderson Silva money wants some of that Conor Mcgregor money pleighboi

 

[ufcoddsmaker]
