Dana White: Silva reluctant to put on weight to fight Jones

not only are people interested but this along with a fight with gsp are two superfights fans would love to see out of the spider with four fights left before he hangs them up

i mean does anyone really care to see him fight bisping?

Why was the question even asked? He is picky enough with his MW opponents.

Put on weight? He walks around at 220 pounds.

Isn't that like 20lbs less then Jones, Rampage, Forrest and others?

Jones walks around at 228. GSP walks around 188 and people expect him to fight Anderson.

Not only is this dumb because those two are the greatest MMA fighters ever, but Fedor fought only a hand full of guys who he was bigger than his entire career

josh on board= troll recently

so not true, josh is still filled with awesomeness.

I know Silva wants to keep his UFC record perfect, but this is a low risk high reward type of fight.

Is that an in shape 220.

Walk around weight's are fun facts, but often not relevant.

He gets refilled every now and then by BBC.

Haters gonna hate.

Dana talks about it like it's something the they have been trying to make right now when im sure they just brought it up

The past year has been spent trying to make Jones-Evans and Spider-Sonnen II. Silva-Jones isnt really an in the meantime fight. Plus, Anderson is out for a half year with injury, yet Dana talks like this is something they are trying to make right now...but he be duckin.

I would be reluctant to put on weight and worry about an out of division fight as well when it's likely my next fight is against somebody who gave him everything he can handle last year.

Bullshit! The dude toyed with Forrest Griffin who outweighs Spider more than Jones, what a bunch of shit. Silva just keeps hurting his rep.

wouldn't it be Dana White, the guy who says Silva is the best fighter in the world, hurting Silva's rep when he says these things?
