Anderson Silva sends message to McGregor: 'I'm ready for you'

On Wednesday (31), Anderson held a live broadcast on Instagram to show his training to his fans. In the end, 'Spider' needled Conor again.

“I challenged Conor, but no one else spoke about it. I think he's scared of losing, supposedly, to an old man. But I’m there!”, said the former middleweight champion.

In an interview before the confrontation with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, McGregor showed interest in fighting the Brazilian and called him a 'legend'. Anderson challenged Conor to a catchweight superfight the next day. Since then, Silva has been trying to make the fight happen, but the loud-mouthed Irishman has so far not commented on the possible meeting.

At 43, Anderson Silva hasn't fought since February 2017 when he won Derek Brunson at UFC 208. In his career the Brazilian has 34 triumphs, eight setbacks and one unsuccessful fight.
