Dana White: Anderson Silva to fight Georges St-Pierre, Jon Jones before retiring - ESPN Chicago For everyone (including myself) that has been wishing and hoping for a Silva vs Bones fight, it sounds like it's only a matter of time before it happens. I just hope it's not too long.
Silva isn't in his prime anymore as Bones is just entering his, I want to say Silva will win because he's a freaking artist but I think Bones will take it.
Bones has shown he can take a solid shot from heavy-handed guys like Machida and Rashad, and he fought through the effects of that nasty arm bar from Vitor. It looks like a fight with him and Anderson would be in his favor. But Anderson is an freakin' assassin. The longer it takes to make the fight though, the more Jon has a chance. I'd definitely be more interested for this fight than Silva vs. GSP personally.
That would be a really hard fight to pick. I think I'd pick Silva if the fight is within the not too distant future. But like icecold said, the longer they wait the more it benefits Jones.
