A potential superfight with Anderson Silva and either Georges St-Pierre or Jon Jones seems inevitable, but the superfight the champion is most interested in may suprise you:
Silva, the undisputed pound-for-pound best MMA fighter in the world, told The Post in a phone interview Wednesday that he would want to get into a ring or a cage with Jones Jr. much, much more than engage in a UFC champion vs. champion superfight with Jon Jones or Georges St-Pierre.
I think everyone’s got something they’re focused on and that’s my own desire, something I’d like to do, Silva said through a translator. Maybe one day when I’m done my UFC career I will box Roy Jones.
Silva said he’d be interested in taking on Jones Jr. twice – once in a bout with MMA rules and another in a boxing ring. He said he knows Jones Jr. and calls him a great champion.
