Anderson Silva vs. Jon Jones

Dana White has talked about bringing the UFC to Madison Square Garden for the 20th anniversary show in November, and if that happens, the city could land a dream fight for MMA fans worldwide.

Anderson Silva vs. Jon Jones fighting against eachother, how good would that look on a UFC PPV card? But for now Jones is already booked to fight against Chael Sonnen at UFC 159 later this year in New Jersey and even after that fight he still has contenders in Lyoto Machida and Alexander Gustafsson, if Gustafsson performs well in his upcoming bout.

Anderson Silva has to get past Middleweight contender Chris Weidman at UFC 162 this July in Las Vegas. And Weidman isn't planning on losing against Silva. Dana White talked to Chris Weidman:
"I talked to Chris Weidman myself, and he looked me right in the eye and said, 'I'm telling you, I apologize that I'm going to f**k up your super fights and be your next champion. But what I will do for you is I'll give him an immediate rematch in Madison Square Garden as soon as he loses."

Who do you guys think will win the superfight between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones? Leave your comments in the comment section below.

Here is the translation:
"The lecture was held last Wednesday in Las Vegas, and was attended by Anderson, former player Rai, the announcer of TV Globo Galvão Bueno and his son, the pilot of Stock Car Caca Bueno. They answered the questions of those present, the company's employees, and at some point the fighter was asked about the match-up against Jon Jones. Besides confirming their willingness to face it and say that this should occur in 2013, said the Spider to be fighting at a weight of about 87kg intermediate and not worth nor his middleweight belt (up to 83.9 kg) nor the light heavyweight belt (up to 93kg) Jones. Also according to the Brazilian, the idea is that the event takes place in New York City, where it has already exited the release of the State of New York to perform MMA tournaments there. If not, is there a chance of the stage being a soccer stadium in Brazil. The story was told by an official of that great Brazilian company the details of the lecture."


Well I've only got to say a few things about this:

- He wants Jon Jones to cut to 192lbs while Jones openly said that he will be going to HW soon.
- There is no way in hell Jon Jones will be able to make that weight.
- I'm pretty sick of Anderson Silva talking about super fights while he just continues to beat fighters he wants to fight in other divisions.
