Video: Anderson Silva says he has started cutting weight for Conor McGregor fight

Anderson Silva is serious about fighting Conor McGregor.

After both men mutually agreed to a catchweight bout at 176 pounds, Silva followed up by sending a video to two-time UFC opponent Chael Sonnen.

Silva tells Sonnen that he has already started cutting weight for the bout and that he is now waiting on UFC president Dana White to give him the thumbs-up.

“Hey, what’s up Chael? How are you, buddy? So I talked about my superfight with Conor, and I start to cut my weight. And for no excuse and for everybody talking about, ‘oh but Anderson don’t take the weight and blah blah blah.
