    Jones would lose a stand up war but, he could take Silva down easily and beat his ass there. Silva would not have much of a chance.

    Silva vs Jones is the fight I want to see the most, but it surprises me really all the flak Silva gets here for apparently not wanting it. GSP has never seen none to eager to move up to 185 to face Silva, and I haven't seen any complaints about that.

    A Jones fight is great especially the buildup for it but I understand Silva for bowing out and wanting to retire. Yes Jones would be his biggest challenge legacy-wise but Silva is near the end of his career and we should be thankful for him. He's doing things in his late 30's that most legends around his age could only dream of. They mostly would lose to cans unfortunately at that age. Would like him to face a Weidman if he doesn't face Jones which is more likely. The most likely fight is GSP which was a glamoured fight before GSP's injury and to me still very intriguing.

    Will we be deprived for years like we were GSP vs Silva. Ultimately, if th efight gets too long, we'll get bored and theyll make 2 or 3 defences each until we forget about it.

    I don't want to move up to fight the bigger. Younger, hungrier Jones, but I'll move down to fight the smaller lighter gsp, ****ing **** house, I wonder why Dana is the only person that preaches he's the greatest of all time.
