Anderson wants none of Jones, but keeps the GSP fight open

You can't bait me with that anymore Ali.

Anderson becomes friends with whoever he thinks can beat him then says were friends we won't fight.

And yet GSP is still too scared to even test the water at MW, while Silva's fought in three different classes.

Funny he isn't willing to go back to either of those weight classes to fight GSP or Bones.

Anderson could never make WW again, get the fuck out of here.

+1

He said he can make it.

Read the posts..


But not liking Anderson unwilling to fight Bones, I'd assume he thinks Bones would toss him around.

Sometimes I wonder if Anderson says alot of this shit out of respect but really doesnt mean it at all.

This

Anderson just celebrated his 36th birthday and has had a lot of injuries lately. He has slowed I imagine and knows Jones is a bad match up. Anderson got a gift in a rusty old Vitor but otherwise I still think he is nearing the end of his run. Don't be surprised if Anderson looks fully mortal against Okami.

I'm going to agree with this partly. The other reason is because the new Okami is Sonnen Jr. His camp he did with Quest really helped improve his game.

Yea farmer for sure. Okami is rounded enough in all aspects to keep Anderson guessing.

I would need to do some serious soul-searching to know that I’d beat Anderson Silva’s [butt]. 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."

So Jones would fight his mentor but not a MW that has never trained with him? Jones thinks he's Leo from the Matrix.

I didn't see the phrase "I would not fight him". Just that he doesn't feel fully ready yet. I'd be willing to bet he would accept the fight. Dosesn't sound like he is totally against it to me.

Same inherent fear in the matchup as Anderson...

"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 is a very awesome thought process, if he ever gets to that point that would be phenomenal to watch, when he says things like that makes me wonder if he could really be that controlled and precise he would be one scary MMA fighter for anyone, LHW, HW, 23 and should only get better, one major or minor hurdle is his way depending on your view of Rashad

"If there's opportunities that happen to be the right opportunities at the right time, then we'll take them. But right now he's focused on the middleweight title," Silva's manager Ed Soares told MMAWeekly Radio.
...
"I don't know if he's always felt that," Soares commented about Silva's mindset always being at 185 pounds. "He's focused on defending his middleweight title, that's his weight class, that's where he feels comfortable at."
...
"You can never say never, that's for sure,"

Soares stated.


I think they would fight for sure, I think they could even remain "friends" lol

How come GSP gets crap for not fighting at 185 but Anderson doesn't get any for not fighting at 205?

Neither man deserves any crap for not jumping up in weight.
