Conor McGregor is open to a fight with UFC legend Anderson Silva. Former middleweight champion Silva, widely considered of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, made the proposal on Thursday.

The Brazilian suggested the rivals fight at a catchweight of 80kg, around three kilograms heavier than McGregor was when he beat Donald Cerrone in January.

In responding to McGregor's labelling him the greatest of all time, Silva said: "I have an immense admiration for the great athlete Conor and I believe that a super fight would be something historic for the sport. "Neither of us need to prove anything to anyone; I believe UFC and sport fans would like to see this great martial show, testing my martial skills with him would be fantastic!"
