White: Jones/Silva talk ‘drives me crazy’
Dana White: “Anderson a long way away from throwing a punch or a kick or anything, so let’s see how he recovers before we start talking about fights.”
Earlier this week, Anderson Silva told MMAFighting that he would like to do a boxing match with Roy Jones Jr. before returning to mixed martial arts. The idea is something that is expressed several times before and it always drives UFC President Dana White crazy:
This stuff drives me crazy, White said (skip to the 6:15 mark of the above video). But it’s always interesting with Anderson. I don’t know. We’ll see.
Silva, 38, has suggested an MMA retirement is unlikely, though a potential return could to the cage could be months (if not a year) away. Still, the Brazilian has said he’d be open to a boxing match with Jones as his comeback fight. White, though, suggested such conversations should wait.
Anderson a long way away from throwing a punch or a kick or anything, so let’s see how he recovers before we start talking about fights, he said.
