Anderson Silva has some golden advice for Mauricio Shogun . Defeated by Glover Teixeira in a boxing match at Spaten Fight Night 3, the Curitiba native used social media to request a rematch against the Minas Gerais native. However, in Spider's view, a new confrontation between the two should take place in another sport.
In the comments section of Mauricio Shogun 's post , Anderson Silva suggested that the two veterans face off in a kimono, in a Jiu-Jitsu match. The former UFC champion highlighted that this modality would be a safer alternative and reminded everyone that Shogun no longer needs to prove anything to anyone given the history he has built in the sport.
