Heavyweight legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira would support his Brazilian jiu-jitsu student Anderson Silva if the former UFC middleweight champion would ever take on Conor McGregor in a super fight.
In recent interview with Combate, ‘Big Nog,’ not only stated he would bet his house on Silva, but he also defends the match because he believes it would make for an unforgettable clash of former Octagon champions.
“I think it’s a super fight!” Nogueira said. “Conor McGregor knows how to control distance well, but Anderson does it like nobody else. Derek Brunson is aggressive, knows how to close the distance, but couldn’t do anything against Anderson.
