UFC legend Anderson Silva is back in action next on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Don Moore.
Silva, 47, is taking on fellow MMA star Bruno Machado, but this time they fight in a boxing ring on a helipad on top of Dubai skyscraper.
Machado, 35, says that the fight is a dream for him.
The fellow Brazilian said: “It’s a dream. I have not enough words to say what I’m thinking, because it’s a lot of big things together at the same time. You understand?
“I never expected from where I came that one day this would happen to my life. There’s no way for me to expect that. Like, ‘Hey man, in the future I’m going to fight Anderson Silva, in the Burj Al Arab, on the helipad, with Floyd Mayweather heading the fight card’.
“Man, it’s unbelievable.”
