Mir keen on fight with Anderson Silva

UFC heavyweight star Frank Mir has admitted that he ‘would love to’ fight middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Anderson Silva has been linked with a move to the heavyweight division after dominating the middleweight division in recently.

“Absolutely, Anderson Silva’s one of the best fighters in the world, pound-for-pound,” Mir told RawVegas.tv.

“He’s a phenomenal striker. I think his movement and head movement on his feet is second-to-none. Unbelievable.

“I would love to do it. I think it would be a phenomenal opportunity for me to face a legend in our sport. I mean the guy has the record for the most consecutive wins. The guy’s going down as the Michael Jordan of MMA right now.

“Would I love to be able to exchange punches and try to grab him and go in there? Yeah, I’d like to be able to say that I fought him and feel what it feels like. I want to go in there. Who wouldn’t want to go fight the most dangerous people in the world?”
