Anderson Silva: “Jose Aldo & Rafael dos Anjos Can Both Beat Conor McGregor”

At the same media event where Michael Bisping confronted him, former UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva had some interesting things to say about Conor McGregor.

At the open fight workouts to promote UFC Fight Night 84, Silva was asked about McGregor and his upcoming fight with UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196. Here’s what he had to say:

“He’s doing his job very well,” Silva said. “He’s very intelligent and knows exactly what he’s doing. But Rafael cannot get led on by his antics because it didn’t work out very well for Jose Aldo. I think both Jose Aldo and Rafael dos Anjos can beat him. I also think that Conor McGregor should really be careful about what he says about Brazilians because the last person who spoke about a Brazilian, it didn’t end too well for him.”
