Silva's not stupid. Jones might be an inch taller but close to seven inches reach advantage. Jones' legs might be considerably longer as well... fucking frog. :)

IMO, Silva's interests lie with the middleweight division more than the disinterest in Jones specifically. He doesn't want anything to do with the light heavyweight division. He might consider it but only if doctor evil puts the screws to him.

I think his overall record includes 6 losses, outside UFC of course. Dana needs to sign somebody on par with this guy or get his ass a Don King wig and dance for the cameras.

Just kidding. Dana's no Don King and UFC's nothing close to professional boxing.

Well, he's already had a couple successful LHW fights. I really think neither of them want any part of the other because neither wants to be beaten by the other. LOL. What a sight to behold that would be, huh?

Hey man, ima firstly admit I LOL'd at that. But more importantly, I'd also like to ask you as a personal favor to tone it down a bit in these mma event threads.

We all treat these threads like the party where we all get together and chat before/during/after the event and keep it a little more lighthearted than the forum in general.

You're here with your mma-loving brothers - no need to be so harsh.

Hey I love the UFC and was a boxing fan, and still am, for many years. I watched the fight on pay for view and only read the first couple of pages of this thread.

Probably was already mentioned but not sure if you remember that Sonnen got busted for roids after the last Silva fight. There is a ton of roid use in the UFC including blood doping, much like professional biking. I really thought that Sonnen looked quite a bit different physically than he did in his first fight against silva.
The reason i bring this up is because like many after seeing the first round I thought here we go again he has Silva's number.
By the way I really believe Silva is on his way out because the key to beating him is a young gun with a large gas tank and constant pressure. You cant hang out in front of Silva and expect to win-------pressure. Any good coach who saw both fights knows the methodology

Then the second round Sonnen goes down on what everyone I watched it with and sounds like this thread agrees was an unremarkable strike. My thoughts were that Sonnen's gas tank was empty, no roids, no blood doping and being in that weakened state the strike was enough to stop him.

Just throwing it out there wanted to see if any one saw what I did.

I'm gonna have to watch it again but IIRC, he didn't go down from a strike. He missed a spinning-elbow and fell. From there, Anderson capitalized. Don't think that knee and strikes were remarkable? Did you see Sonnen's nose?

Good eye.And i feel you hit the nail on the head.


Some one already mentioned it about Silva droppin his set........from what i have seen of him when that happens it's over....he's in his bubble and no one has been able to bust it.So many don't like him because of these actions but i love it.He's not cocky....he's confident.


I'm rackin my brain......any one recall which one of the other fighters on that card fought Silva in a bare knuckle match for 27 minutes when he was 17?

Jon Jones puts his BITCHASSNESS into words.

“It’s not that he won’t fight me or I won’t fight him. To be dead honest, it’s – we both have a lot to lose. And we both respect each other a lot and we are both striving for personal greatness. I don’t want to crap on his greatness; I don’t want him crapping on my greatness. You know, we are in completely different weight classes."

“We both have sponsor deals and things that are really important to us and a big part of that sponsorship package is being a winner, being a champion. And having us fight each other someone’s championship is going to go away. I respect Anderson Silva so much; I don’t want to be the guy to beat him. I don’t want to lose to him either; it’s a lose-lose situation.”

“If we were in the same weight class, it would be inevitable but it’s like ‘Dude, I’m dominating my weight class, you’re dominating your weight class. Some things were just not meant to be seen’.”

This whole post seems cowardly and dirty, IMO. Instead of protecting sponsorship $$$, it should be about finding out who the GOAT is. They should be fighting to make this happen rather than avoiding it.

Jones could say, "I'll fight whoever Dana White brings" and avoid having to explain the politics of personal interest.
