The UFC owes Anderson Silva a super fight.
The former UFC middleweight champion and pound-for-pound great revealed in a recent interview with Brazilian MMA outlet Combate (h/t Marcelo Alonso of Sherdog), that a mega fight with Conor McGregor had been agreed to at 170 pounds but that the UFC stopped the bout from happening.
“UFC owes me a super fight by contract,” Silva said on Monday. “Conor [McGregor] called me out right after my fight with [Israel] Adesanya. Our team talked to his team and we agreed upon a bout at [170 pounds], but something happened and UFC decided to not make it.
