Anderson Silva Sends Positive Message To ‘Brother” Jose Aldo

Anderson Silva is no stranger to falling from grace. The 42-year-old former longtime middleweight champion defended his 185-pound title a record-setting 10 consecutive times before being shockingly knocked out by Chris Weidman at UFC 162 in 2013.

Anderson Silva is no stranger to falling from grace.

The 42-year-old former longtime middleweight champion defended his 185-pound title a record-setting 10 consecutive times before being shockingly knocked out by Chris Weidman at UFC 162 in 2013. While many still consider him to be the greatest fighter of all-time, Silva has since gone just 1-3-1.

For this reason, Silva can relate to fellow Brazilian Jose Aldo, a man many consider to be the best featherweight to have ever graced the Octagon. Aldo, however, has suffered two stoppage losses in his last three bouts, losing his title via third round TKO to Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 212 this past weekend (June 3, 2017) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Silva took to his official Instagram account to offer his ‘brother’ some positive words:

Meu irmão. Você é muito maior de que qualquer batalha, a sua história nos da a plena certeza de que você é um grande herói, um grande campeão, sou e sempre serei seu fã meu irmão. O que você tem de mais precioso vai muito além. Lógico que estávamos todos torcendo por você e pela sua vitória, mais não se cobre e nem deixe ninguém cobrar de você irmão, pois você é fantástico no que faz e faz com amor e com seu coração, não esqueça de quem você é e o quanto você faz a diferença nesse esporte, você mudou a vida de muita gente, você é motivo de vitória e de superação pelo exemplo que se tornou, mantenha sempre a cabeça erguida DEUS está no controle sempre. Você é um grande campeão, ninguém pode tirar essa história de você, ninguém; batalha são ganhas e outras perdidas, mas a guerra nunca. Você é um gigante, não veio a este mundo por acaso você é Ze Aldo. Nosso Ze Aldo. Não esqueça irmão, DEUS te abençoe sempre guerreiro . “Isso é o que somos até o fim dos nossos dias, anos e aqueles como nós meu amigo, muito poucos.” . My brother. You are much bigger than any battle, your story gives us the full assurance that you are a great hero, a great champion, I am and I will always be your fan, brother. What you have most precious goes far beyond. Of course we were all rooting for you and for your victory, but do not cover yourself or let anyone charge you brother, because you are fantastic in what you do and do with love and with your heart, do not forget who you are and how much You make a difference in this sport, you have changed the lives of many people, you are cause for victory and overcoming by the example that has become, always keep your head up God is always in control. You are a great champion, no one can take this story from you, no one; Battle is won and other losses, but never war. You are a giant, did not come to this world by chance you are Ze Aldo. Our Ze Aldo. Do not forget brother, GOD bless you always warrior. “That is what we are to the end of our days, and those like us my friend, very few.”

Frankie Edgar Calls Out Max Holloway For Title Fight

Max Holloway became the undisputed UFC featherweight champion this past weekend (June 3, 2017) after knocking out Jose Aldo in the main event of UFC 212 from Rio de Janeiro. Now just days removed from his title winning performance, “Blessed” already has a few challengers chomping at the bit to face him, most notably Frankie […]

The post Frankie Edgar Calls Out Max Holloway For Title Fight appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Swanson, who was submitted by both Holloway and Edgar in 2014 and 2015, has compiled four consecutive victories and recently campaigned for a title shot that has eluded him throughout his career.

Edgar, however, has won back-to-back fights over Jeremy Stepehens and Yair Rodriguez after losing to Aldo for a second time last summer and feels as if the fight to make is him vs. Holloway:

“The cards fell in my favor, so here we go, let’s set up Holloway vs. Edgar,” Edgar said on a recent appearance on “The MMA Hour.”

Edgar admitted that nothing is official as of yet, although he feels as if there’s ‘no one that makes more sense’ than himself to be the next 145-pound title challenger:

“Not officially, you see everything is trending that way it seems like, but nothing official,” Edgar said. “There’s no one that makes more sense than me and no one that’s done what they’ve done like what I’ve done to get it.”

As far as Swanson, who’s currently ranked No. 4 in the division, goes, Edgar simply doesn’t see how he’s in contention for a title shot:

“I just don’t see how he’s in consideration,” Edgar said. “Since me and Cub fought, I’ve fought nothing but Top 10, Top 5 guys and I don’t think he’s fought anybody in the Top 10 … and he’s also lost to Max. So I don’t see how that’s even a thing to even compare to. Cub’s a great fighter, but this is how it goes and you have to put yourself on the line every time … and I do that.”

Who would you like to see Holloway make the first defense of his title against?
