Dana White: Jon Jones vs. Anderson Silva Will 'Absolutely' Happen

[Beouche]

Well if this fight goes down you can all thank me. No one has pushed for this fight harder and longer than i have. I got you the Penn Diaz fight, this would just be an Epic feather in the cap of the Greatest poster on the MMA Forum of All tme

Yeah that`s the way I see it, Anderson needs to knock Jones out on the feet or on the way in because his TDD is nowhere near good enough to stop Jones taking it to ground.

Its the most fascinating fight in a very long time in MMA, I`d be rooting for Silva all day, everyday but anything could happen here tbh.

Fuck that, that shit doesn`t wash in any other sport except boxing, that`s not the road MMA wants to go down, the fight should be made 100%, no ifs or buts.

Boxing is becoming a joke man. Won't get rid of it's long history and I will forever be a fan but it's not a sport anymore its....a.....business strictly.

Do want to see JBJ/Silva to see if Silva could pull it off or Jones pummels him. May be the most intersting fight to happen for the sport ever and I agree fights with lots of interest should be made. Boxing failed in that for years and is suffering the consequences apart from when Floyd and Manny fight yet they refuse to fight each other.

If they were both fighting in the same weight division I would tend to disagree. But you can't just force a guy who holds the belt in one weight division to go fight someone for the title in another.
