look who he said inspired him :wow:

Striking this unique has arguably not been seen since the early days when Anderson Silva exploded onto the scene and unsurprisingly, it’s the Brazilian who Adesanya says was a key influence for him as a martial artist.

“Anderson Silva was a guy I looked up to growing up because when I was younger, everyone had this perception that you had to be this big macho man to be a fighter and what not, but me, when I saw Anderson Silva fight I was like ‘who the f*** is this skinny black guy kicking everyone’s ass?’

“He ran through his division and I looked up to him then and I still do now. He’s a legend in this game despite all the bulls*** that’s been happening. I respect him a lot.”

Whilst the odds of the two ever crossing paths is unlikely now because of Silva’s latest run in with the USASA anti-doping program, it’s not been totally inconceivable that a fight between them could’ve happened. The respect Adesanya has for Silva is very clear, but in the dog-eat-dog world that the two play in, even Silva wouldn’t be safe from the UFC’s newest middleweight prospect.

“I respect him so much man,” Adesanya said. “I think his next suspension could be like four years or something like that and I don’t think it’s possible he comes back at like 50-years-old or something like that.

“I’m a fan, but let’s get this straight. Just because I’m a fan it doesn’t mean you can’t catch these hands.

Right now his license is revoked and he can reapply in a year, but USADA still has a suspension to hand down and that one is looking more likely to be a longer term suspension after the debacle yesterday.

The suspension basically is until August of this year. That Asian lady was trying to tell USADA give this nikka 2 years suspension tho cause he’s hasn’t learned.
