Just when you thought Anderson Silva was ready to fade into security, it looks as though the all-time great fighter has a few big fights left in him.

Silva took to Instagram early Monday morning to call out former foes Michael Bisping and Nick Diaz.

“We are three great professionals, what makes the most sense at the moment, is not his fight with any other, but with me, regardless of belt,” Silva said. “Regardless of the show, we respect each other, a new fight between us, would be a great fight of gentlemen.

Silva also said, “Because with Nick, it was a No Contest, we have a story to tell, I'll wait for you in Brazil,” and “And I'm waiting for you, Mr. Bisping, after your fight with GSP.”

Silva headlined UFC Fight Night 84 against Bisping, losing a close unanimous decision. Bisping went on to defeat Luke Rockhold for the UFC middleweight title in his next bout.

“The Spider” went to battle with Nick Diaz at UFC 183, originally winning a unanimous decision before the win was overturned by the Nevada Athletic Commission thanks to Silva testing positive for drostanolone and androsterone. Diaz also tested positive for marijuana metabolites.

“Exterminate once and for all this doubt of the fans about who really won,” Silva added at the end of his Instagram post, referring to the close bout with Bisping.

Silva’s last bout was a controversial victory over Derek Brunson at UFC 208.

Bisping is currently scheduled to fight a returning Georges St. Pierre sometime in 2017. No date has been set as of yet.

Diaz has not fought since his January, 2015 no contest against Silva, but is expected to return to the cage in coming months.

After his win over Vitor Belfort at UFC Fight Night 106 on March 11, Kelvin Gastelum also called out Silva. He’s looking for a fight with Silva at UFC 212 on June 3 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
