Conor McGregor and Anderson Silva were both champions, who were at the top of the glory of the UFC arena. The two also had to go through the shivering legs on the ring: Silva broke his leg in the confrontation with Chris Weidman at UFC 168, while McGregor broke his leg in the match against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
At the present time, although the surgery for screws and discs against Conor McGregor has been very successful, most likely “The Notorious” still have to wait a year to return to the ring.
“My advice for Conor now is, take time and continue work and continue physical therapy, continue to practice the upper body and do not think too much about the fighting,” Anderson Silva recently said on the Submission Radio.
“You just need to focus on your recovery, don't think about you will have to fight tomorrow, or for six months. Just restore your body. Be always ready to prepare your mind when you come back, get stronger again, return better.”
“Be concerned about your mind – always ready and passionate will make you have more power to continue challenging yourself, proving how much he loves his work and how can he continue to fight, continue to keep the performance of a Anderson, a Weidman, a Conor as before. In terms of mental, it is very important.”
In response, Conor McGregor thanked the message from Anderson Silva in a recent Instagram post.
“Anderson, this message is great, thank you,” McGregor wrote.
“You know, since this injury happened, I only received very little attention from other colleagues. The reality is the opposite – they are even more gloating than the other. But don't worry! I'm not afraid of the scratches of the children from them.
