James Irvin ready to meet the right Silva
James “Sandman” Irvin was working out when he received the call that presented him with the offer to fight Anderson Silva. However, Irvin originally thought it was another Silva altogether.
He was first under the impression that he would fight Wanderlei Silva. It turns out that Irvin was very excited as he had been wanting to meet Wanderlei in the octagon for quite some time. Wrong Silva.
Nevertheless, Irvin jumped at the chance to square off against Anderson Silva, one of the best fighters in the sport of mixed martial arts. Without naming any fighters, Irvin also claimed more than a few light heavyweights turned down the offer.
So now that the stage is set fro an Irvin vs. Silva showdown, oddsmakers aren’t weighing heavily in the Sandman’s favor. That hasn’t affected Irvin as he clarified in an interview with Kevin Lole of Yahoo Sports. Irvin goes on to talk about facing Silva and how he will approach one of the top fighters in the UFC.
