UFC Middleweight champ Anderson Silva recently said there was ‘no chance‘ he would meet Lightheavyweight Champ Jon Jones. Jones however recently spoke to ESPN.com and while expressing respect and admiration, seemed more open to the idea.
Because I look up to Anderson so much, I don’t look at myself as the guy to fight him right now. Anderson’s one of the guys right now I look at his way of being to like Bruce Lee. I would need to do some serious soul-searching to know that I’d beat Anderson Silva’s ass. I think I have the capabilities of doing it. But I truly admire Anderson Silva.
My goal is to reach a level of comfort in the Octagon where you don’t even process your thoughts. You just move as your body thinks it. That’s what I’m looking for is that level of comfort, that level of cool. That’s what I’m trying to get. I think Anderson’s close to that. That’s what I want.
