UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor<\/a> certainly sparked a bit of a trend when he began to pursue a fight with undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather. In the time since McGregor began to call for a fight with Mayweather, former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva once again began to call for a showdown with Roy Jones Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, ahead of his UFC 212 featherweight title fight against interim champion Max Holloway<\/a> on June 3rd, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo spoke with media members to also call for a boxing match.<\/p>\n

\"Jose<\/p>\n

MMAFighting<\/a> has the quotes from Jose Aldo:<\/p>\n

“If it does happen, I want to be in this card, too, boxing,\u201d Aldo said. “I\u2019ll challenge, I don\u2019t know, Miguel Cotto, something like that. I want to surf this wave as well. If it happens, Dana\u2026 Don\u2019t forget me, Joe Carr. Don\u2019t forget me because if it happens I want to fight, brother. We can go for takedowns, too. No problem.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anderson Silva also once again reiterated that he would like a fight with Roy Jones Jr, saying:<\/p>\n

“First, it was always a dream to fight a guy like Roy Jones. I\u2019m a fan,\u201d Silva said at the UFC 212 press conference on Tuesday. “Second, it was always something that I wanted. I\u2019ve followed Roy Jones since he was an Olympic athlete, and I\u2019ve always looked up to his style of boxing. It\u2019s something I always wanted to do. Regardless of being in the UFC or not, it was always something I wanted to do.<\/p>\n

“But let\u2019s wait. So many things are happening. I never thought I would see so many of the things that are happening, so maybe it happens. Let\u2019s wait. I hope it happens one day.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

Only time will tell if either of these fights, in addition to a Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight, happen.<\/p>\n
