Anderson Silva: Israel Adesanya ‘is not my clone or a better version of me’

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva doesn’t seem too worried about taking on one of the division’s hottest young prospects in his next fight.

In an interview with Combate, “The Spider” explained how he doesn’t think Israel Adesanya is a better fighter than he is, nor is he worried about the outcome of the clash.

Furthermore, Silva also addressed his past claims about saying only his own clone could be a perfect matchup for him and how people are calling Adesanya that potential match for him. In Anderson’s opinion, it was only meant to be interpreted as joke.
