UFC legend Wanderlei Silva threatens to slap “son of a b**ch” Conor McGregor

Not a fan

Remember after UFC 189? When Wanderlei Silva claimed that Conor McGregor v Chad Mendes was fixed?

Well the Brazilian legend has also weighed in after the main event of UFC 194 and surprise, surprise, he’s not exactly been complimentary towards ‘The Notorious.’

Silva, a fan favourite from his time in Pride and the UFC, has torn into McGregor for his trash-talk and comments regarding Jesus Christ in the run-up to Saturday night’s event.

“Everyone saw it was an accident,” Silva said on Facebook. “It was just a stupid fluke. The minute I find this guy (McGregor), because he spoke of Jesus, I will slap that son of a bitch in the face.

“When I find you, put your hands up because you’re about to get slapped in the face you bastard, you bum. Someone translate this for that son of a bitch.”

Silva reminds MMA fans to remain respectful to Jose Aldo who lost his featherweight title to McGregor in spectacular circumstances at the weekend.

“He needs to be strong,” Silva said. “He’s represented for so long. He’s lived in the gym. He had nothing and became the best fighter in the world. Aldo to you, you are our champion. It does not change anything.”
