“GSP is the best fight (for me) in this sport,” Silva told ESPN LA 710AM. “It would be a great, great, great fight. He is a good guy. Maybe one day, this is a good fight.”

“I saw the first time that Jon Jones fought. I talked to JJ for 3-4 days when we stayed together. I told him, ‘You’re the best, you focus on training, you have more and more fights a year, but you don’t have opening (opponents).’

“The fight between me and JJ is no good, he is a different [weight] class. In my camp we have Minotoro Noguiera and Lyoto Machida.”
