Anderson Silva rips Israel Adesanya after UFC 293, laughs off comparisons: ‘I’m the one in charge of this’

Amid claims that Israel Adesanya had surpassed former undisputed middleweight champion, Anderson Silva as the divisional greatest ever ahead of his eventual UFC 293 title loss to Sean Strickland, the Brazilian has issued a reminder to the former champion, insisting that he is “in charge” of the GOAT conversation still.

Silva, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the UFC – who recently received his Hall of Fame induction earlier this summer, called time on his professional mixed martial arts career back in October 2020, following an eventual TKO loss to common-foe, Uriah Hall.
