“So I talked about my superfight with Conor, and I start to cut my weight,” Silva told former UFC star Chael Sonnen on his YouTube show.

“And for no excuse and for everybody talking about, ‘Oh but Anderson don’t take the weight and blah blah blah.’

“Ok, I start training and I’m ready for that. Conor’s ready too. And it’s one thing, just Dana White, you need to make this fight real. Let’s go see.”
