As the Conor McGregor himself once said, when you sign to fight him, it’s a celebration. So it’s no wonder other fighter’s want to see themselves step in the cage to start the party.
And it’s no wonder when they see another man trying to get themselves into a McGregor fight, they can find the entire thing a bit annoying — especially if they want that contest themselves. Case in point, Darren Till’s new found irritation with Anderson Silva.
Earlier today, Till took to his social media to call out the future Hall of Famer, citing his apparent disgust with Silva’s targeting of McGregor and challenged the Brazilian to meet him — not the Irishman — next year at an event in London.
@SpiderAnderson begging for a comeback against anyone, what’s going on with this fella! Save your legacy. Does anyone really think he has still got it ? I reckon he would get slept in one.

“[Anderson Silva] begging for a comeback against anyone, what’s going on with this fella!” Till wrote. “Save your legacy. Does anyone really think he has still got it ? I reckon he would get slept in one.

Of course, Till himself has also challenged McGregor in the past. Recently on a trip to his beloved Liverpool’s stadium Anfield, Till called on McGregor to make history by filling the English ground in a fight with him.
