“It’s my wish and his (this fight). We have great respect for Floyd Mayweather and he is one of the greatest boxing athletes in history. He tested himself against a YouTuber heavier than him, so why not Anderson Silva? It would break all pay-per-view records. We would like to do. It has everything to do.” (h/t MMA Mania)
Prior to facing the Tito Ortiz, ‘Spider’ even locked horns with a pro-boxing star, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and won. This itself showed that age is just a number for the UFC great, who has enough left in the tank to thrive in the ring.

If everything goes well and both the parties agree to the terms, then the fans might get to see this classic tussle between the best fighters of this generation. It’ll be interesting to see how things take place ahead.
