Anderson Silva has discussed his upcoming fight at UFC 237 against Jared Cannonier, and why he thinks Israel Adesanya needs to respect light heavyweight king Jon Jones.
Silva (34-9, 1NC) returned to the octagon for the first time in two years at UFC 234 against Israel Adesanya, losing by unanimous decision. The former longtime middleweight champion is now facing a fairly quick turnaround, as Silva is set to face Cannonier in May. “Spider” spoke to MMA Fighting about the fight.
“I think it’s more important for me to make something special for the fans,” Silva said.
