Despite losing to Israel Adesanya in the main event of last weekend’s UFC 234 card, Brazilian UFC legend Anderson Silva is already eyeing off his next opponent.

After dropping a unanimous decision loss to ‘The Style Bender’ in Melbourne Australia, Silva called out former rival Nick Diaz for a rematch of their UFC 183 bout on the upcoming UFC 237 card in his hometown of Curitiba, Brazil.

During his post-fight interview he made the following statement:

“I have a chance for fight in my city where everything start,” he said. “I think make sense fight me and Nick Diaz in Curitiba. Let’s go see. It’s just waiting for Dana because it’s not time to make the good decisions or not; hopefully, we’ll fight in Curitiba.”

‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor then weighed in on twitter condoning the idea, while also challenging Nick’s brother Nate to a rubber match on the very same card.

Conor and Nate already have a storied rivalry and have fought on two previous occasions, with Diaz claiming victory via rear naked choke in the first fight and Mcgregor eeking out a contentious split decision victory in the rematch.

McGregor is currently serving a six-month suspension handed down by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his involvement in the now infamous post-fight brawl that occurred after his UFC 229 bout against Khabib Nurmagomedov, meaning the Irishman will not be eligible to compete until April of 2019.

Meanwhile, Nate Diaz has not competed since losing a razor close split decision to McGregor at UFC 202 in August of 2016.

If all the stars align correctly UFC 237 could turn out to be one of the biggest Pay-Per-View cards in UFC history.
