Both before and after Conor McGregor’s loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, ‘The Notorious’ expressed interest in a potential superfight against Anderson Silva, and ‘The Spider’ was happy to accept McGregor’s ‘challenge.’
It seems highly unlikely that the bout will come to fruition, but Silva is adamant about getting the fight booked as soon as possible.
Speaking to TMZ Sports in a recent interview Silva, the former UFC middleweight champion, pleaded with Dana White to consider the matchup, claiming that he’s willing to fight McGregor at a catchweight of 180 pounds.
“I believe this fight is very interesting for the sport, for the fans,” Silva said, per BJPenn.
