And not to be swayed by the fact that McGregor beat former featherweight champion Jose Aldo in just thirteen seconds last December, Silva maintains that Aldo is the better fighter.
"Conor McGregor is a great fighter," Silva told MMAWeekly.com. "He's doing his job very well. He's very intelligent and knows exactly what he's doing.

"I also think that Conor McGregor should really be careful about what he says about Brazilians because the last person who spoke about a Brazilian, it didn't end too well for him."
