Anderson Silva is only looking for super fights at this point in his career.
The 45-year-old is ready to return to action for the first time since his TKO loss to Jared Cannonier at UFC 237 in May last year.
He was previously campaigning for a super fight with Conor McGregor back in May and the Irishman was receptive to the idea. “The Spider” even claims a fight was agreed upon by both parties to take place at 170 pounds as early as last year.
However, the UFC was not on board with the idea.
“UFC owes me a super fight by contract,” Silva told Combate (via Sherdog). “Conor [McGregor] called me out right after my fight with [Israel] Adesanya. Our team talked to his team and we agreed upon a bout at [170 pounds], but something happened and UFC decided to not make it.”
While a McGregor fight is unlikely in reality, a super fight with Anthony Pettis is more of a possibility and is something that Silva would still be interested in today.
“Then Anthony Pettis proposed that super fight, and I liked it because he was already a champion who has impressive knockouts,” Silva added. “Of course, it would be a great super fight.
“At this point of my career and for all my legacy it doesn’t make any sense to face new talents that are entering the game now. I don’t want to be a ‘step’ for the new generation. I want to face relevant champions for the sport. And definitely Pettis is a great challenge that will make me train a lot.”
Of course, the decision comes down to the UFC again and Dana White was not a fan of a Silva vs. Pettis matchup.
It will certainly be interesting to see who Silva eventually ends up facing in his return.
What do you think of Silva only wanting super fights? Who should he face next?

Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos has three names in mind for what could be his final fight for the promotion.
Dos Anjos is currently on a two-fight losing streak following unanimous decision defeats to Leon Edwards and Michael Chiesa. And with just one fight remaining on his current contract, “RDA” is looking to compete in June or July next.
That said, he also hopes to sign a new deal with the UFC, having fought for the promotion since 2008.
“I want to fight. I fought in January, so June or July would be good dates,” he told MMA Fighting. “I’m going for the last fight in my contract with the UFC, so we have to see if the UFC wants to re-sign me. It’s a bunch of things.
“… I’m in the UFC for many years, since 2008, and the UFC is a very solid company. I have a great relationship with Dana White, I have almost 30 fights in the organization, and I would like to re-sign with the UFC. That’s what I want, but it’s not only up to me, it’s up to them as well, if they want to re-sign me.”
As for who the Brazilian wants to fight next, there are three names he is targeting; Anthony Pettis, Stephen Thompson or Santiago Ponzinibbio. And given his current position, he feels those are fights that make sense.
“I thought about Pettis because he once said, after a victory, that he was interested in fighting me at 170,” Dos Anjos said. “Since he fought (Donald) Cerrone at welterweight, I think this could be the fight.
“… Man, Ponzinibbio is crazy. (The UFC) hasn’t said anything. This guy hasn’t fought in a year and a half. F*ck, I fought (four) times since his last fight. I have no problem fighting him, but, brother, no one told me anything. He throws some crazy stuff online, it’s hard to understand. But I have no problem fighting Ponzinibbio.
“I’m in a situation that I can’t call anyone out. I’m coming off a loss and I know that’s in the past and I will bounce back, but what the UFC offers me, something that makes sense… I think Pettis would make sense for the history. The market is starting to move now. Stephen Thompson and I, there was some talk in the past, so I think that could be the fight. The division is very jammed, let’s see how it plays out.”
Who do you want to see Dos Anjos face next?
