    Personally, it seems almost like that comment at the end seemed forced, as if he was getting bored of being questioned about the fight. But I don't know UFC like you guys, the Flea dude and such, so is there any merit to this story?

    Silva giving weird answers as usual. He's always doing this **** and Hes partly doing this to say later "See its not my fault I beat Jones, I just do my job".

    Believe you and me, Silva is just waiting for the right moment to stick it to Dana.

    The only reason Hes been playing a good soldier so far is that all of his "buddies" are making a good living off the UFC at the moment.

    Silva wants to get paid but he needs to go after GSP first. Once he goes up to 205 for a Jones fight he won't be able to drop to 170 or a catchweight below 185 like he claims he will for GSP now.

    Silva is a weirdo but I don't think he'd turn down Jones. He seems to relish his perceived toughest challenges i.e. Hendo, Sonnen 2, Belfort etc
