Earlier this month, UFC megastar Conor McGregor expressed interest in a superfight with former pound-for-pound great Anderson Silva, praising ‘The Spider’ as ‘a legend in the game.’
”I would be interested in an Anderson Silva bout,” McGregor said ahead of his lightweight title fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, which he lost via submission. “I swear to God. Anderson is a legend in the game.
Silva responded to McGregor in a recent interview with TMZ Sports, and said it’s a fight that UFC president Dana White definitely needs to consider. The former middleweight champion accepts McGregor’s challenge.
