Anderson Silva wants to return to the Octagon in May, possibly against Nick Diaz or Conor McGregor.

Anderson Silva has only just got done with his Fight of the Night classic against Israel Adesanya at UFC 234, but ‘The Spider’ is already thinking about his next fight.

Speaking to reporters at the UFC 234 post-fight press conference in Melbourne, Silva, who dropped a unanimous decision to ‘The Last Stylebender’ in the main event, wants to fight at the upcoming UFC 237 PPV in his hometown of Curitiba, Brazil on May 11.

Ideally, Silva would like a rematch with Nick Diaz, who he originally beat via unanimous decision at UFC 183. The result was overturned to a No Contest, however, after Silva tested positive for steroids and Diaz tested positive for marijuana metabolites.
