Anderson Silva knows how it feels to be the target of an ostensive trash talker and beat him (twice), therefore he thinks he has the experience to talk about Jose Aldo’s next bout.
After two wins against Chael Sonnen, “The Spider” told Globo what he wants the UFC Featherweight champion to hit Conor McGregor a lot.
“Aldo said what we needed to hear. He’s the king, Chad Mendes is the prince and McGregor is the joker. Enough said. I think that McGregor is a cool guy but Aldo is a lot cooler. Aldo is my brother until I die. Hit him a lot, Aldo. Please, do it. Hit him a lot.”
Anderson simply doesn’t see how the Irishman can win this fight.
“It’s impossible to compare them. McGregor has no condition of facing Aldo. How would he do this? How? Do you think that this boy will bear what Mendes could? Never! I would run from Aldo if he were at my weight class. I would not be silly of fighting him.”
Having recovered from a broken leg, Anderson will face Nick Diaz at the main event of UFC 183 on January 31.
