Israel Adesanya Calls Out Anderson Silva For Fight

July 20, 2018 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Israel Adesanya wants a shot at his idol in Anderson Silva. Adesanya posted to Instagram calling for a fight with Silva on Friday, as you can see below.

“If not for [Silva] I wouldn’t have looked at fighting from a different perspective,” Adesanya wrote. “I was under the impression you gotta look like Paula to be a fighter. The Spider been f**king up muscled up beefcakes since ages ago as an lean aerodynamic man. He is still the g.o.a.t imo.”

He continu3ed, “With that being said…I want #alldashmoke. Just cuz I’m a fan don’t mean you can’t catch these hands…and feets. So yes I am down.”

The call-out comes after Silva accepted a one-year suspension from USADA, retroactive to last November, for a positive drug test that was traced to a tainted supplement.
