‘The Notorious’ took to Instagram to express his gratitude to Silva, who recently sent him positive vibes by giving him tips on how to take the long road to recovery. McGregor posted a photo of himself and Silva with the caption:

Conor McGregor is presently out of commission after breaking his tibia in the main event of UFC 264. Silva, of course, understands what McGregor has been going through because he too suffered a broken leg injury during his rematch with Chris Weidman almost eight years ago.

In an interview with Submission Radio, the Brazilian legend sent out words of encouragement to McGregor by saying:

Anderson Silva explains how difficult Conor McGregor’s recovery is going to be

Anderson Silva admitted it was difficult to return to elite form after suffering a gruesome injury. He added that Conor McGregor might face the same hardships as he did, but said nothing is impossible.

Watch Anderson Silva’s interview with Submission Radio:

It took Anderson Silva 13 months to make a complete recovery and return to action. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor’s posts indicate that he wants to make a comeback the soonest he can, but a medical ban prevents him from competing until January 2022.
