UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva recently appeared Monday on The MMA Hour and expressed much more interest in facing boxing great Roy Jones Jr. than UFC light heavyweight champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones.
“Maybe finish my contract for UFC, finish my fights in MMA, I’ll go. This is my goal for my career. It’s my dream — is to fight Roy Jones and boxing.”
“Sometimes I look at Jon Jones fight and I remember me when I started to fight. I remember. I like Jon Jones. He’s a good guy. He has great focus for training, for working. That’s it. My opinion is Jon Jones is staying with the belt for a long time.”
Silva no longer wants to fight at 205, as to not interfere with Black House teammates Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, and Lyoto Machida. So despite two spectacular performances at 205, Silva will stay in the division he is the world champion of.
“I finish my career in my class,” Silva said.
