Conor McGregor lyckades bli den första att hålla i två UFC-bälten samtidigt, men det gör honom inte till en komplett fighter anser veteranen Anderson Silva. Silva anser nämligen att Conor har svagheter, likt alla andra, och enligt Anderson är den helt uppenbar.
Silva tror deock att McGregor skulle ha en chans mot boxningslegenden Floyd Mayweather, ett möte som det pratats en hel del om i media den senaste tiden, och detta hade Anderson att säga via ”Combate”:
He has flaws. We all have flaws. And his flaws are clear. He defends well, but he doesn’t have jiu-jitsu. The main thing is that he uses his movement and his opponent’s movement in his advantage. He never puts himself in uncomfortable positions. Everyone who fought him put themselves in uncomfortable positions and weren’t able to get back to comfortable positions again.
I think everybody has a chance. When you step inside (the ring) to fight, you have a chance. Of course that if you’re fighting Mayweather, people would say ‘oh, McGregor won’t last a round,’ but we never know.
The movement is different, how you have your feet on the ground is different, the timing is different boxing,. The only way to see is putting them to fight. He would have to stop at least a year to be able to do a close fight, and I believe he should do it.
Silva blev nyligen inbokat för att ta sig an ingen mindre än Derek Brunson, ett möte som kommer äga rum den 11 februari i Brooklyn.
