Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will have his hands full on Saturday night. Paired up against hot prospect Israel Adesanya, a striker in his prime whose antics much resemble Anderson’s before time passed him by, “The Spider” has been hearing many comparisons between himself and his young opponent as of late.
However, in Silva’s opinion, comparing both athletes is just unfair to both of them. The way Silva sees it, they’re from two different generations and there is just no point in making those comparisons.
“I think he’s a brilliant athlete, he has a brilliant career ahead of him in the sport,” Silva told Combate.
