#2 Anderson Silva
Talking about unbelievable previous Middleweight champion Anderson Silva, in spite of McGregor just regularly battling as high as 170lbs – and Silva never dipping under 185lbs amid his UFC vocation – ‘The Notorious One’ really got the Brazilian veteran out a week ago after his misfortune to Israel Adesanya at UFC 234, proposing that it’d be an “honor” to face such a legend.
It wasn’t the first run through such a battle had been discussed. Back in October 2018, Silva had recommended that he’d be down for a battle with McGregor, proposing that it’d be a combative techniques challenge instead of being about cash and that the two could battle at a catchweight of 180lbs.
Tragically for any fans anticipating a conflict between the Irishman and the Brazilian, it doesn’t appear as though we’ll be seeing it at any point in the near future. At the point when gotten some information about the likelihood of the battle, UFC President Dana White expressed that he “didn’t like it at all” – maybe because of the huge hole in load between the two contenders – and given that in the UFC, what Dana says goes, we most likely shouldn’t hold our breath to see McGregor versus Silva at any point in the near future.
For the #1 contender, Conor McGregor has challenged publicly in 2019, move on to the next page!
